[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a calendar that allocates household and parenting responsibilities on a predictable basis, with the mutual understanding that you can't schedule anything when you are responsible for the kids without asking your spouse or co-parent to cover for you, would go a long way. Like, he has Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday nights and Monday and Wednesday mornings, and if he wants to plan a coffee meeting, a work conference, or go to a Capitals game, he asks his wife well in advance if she can cover for him or a trade, and if she can't accomodate a trade, he finds a babysitter, with a limit on how much babysitting time they think is okay for their family. If someone is being taken advantage of, then you put a system in place to address it. Basically, they need a parenting agreement within the marriage to stop the conflict on this issue. [/quote] I'm not OP and this is how our schedule works (although not rigidly with a calendar, we just anticipate that we'll trade off days and then discuss what each week looks like), but I get the feeling that OP and others are married to men who would just...not read your calendar and just not care.
