[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pp here. I just wanted to add that in my experience, the activities are mostly handled by the mom no matter what their job is. I realize that your Dh works less and earns less. I’m sure there are many moms who work equal or more to you who also handle all the administrative and activities.

One mom I knew was a sahm who went back to work and handed off the kid activities to the dad. The dad is a senior executive at a huge company. He was super pushy and it made me not want to book anything with him. Moms often coordinate sports, activities, play dates and summer activities. When the dad handled it, he would follow up multiple times in an impatient manner. I also felt like he was bossy and demanding when discussing carpool. It really turned me off.[/quote]
He was probably this way because he is used to bossing people around as a sr exec.

My DH would not be bossy discussing carpool; he's rather too accommodating, but then he's just a lowly individual contributor.

Even if you give the dad the responsibility, it seems many still halfa$$ it.   Too many men operate on a "bare minimum effort" when it comes to dealing with the family and housechores.  [/quote]
