[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old are the kids?

You've gone too far to the other extreme...not making dinner? C'mon op.
How about you prep dinner  (so everyone is actually eating real food) and kids cleanup. Or dh makes dinner on weekends and you clean up. Or so.ethibg along those lines.

Meeting halfway goes over a lot better than all-or-nothing approach.[/quote]

Half way? She is doing what needs to be done. Kids used to work from dawn to dusk in the past, just to make farm/house work. Everybody worked, husband in the fields, with animals, wife and kids too. Waking up before dawn to go to factory or ranch, kids took care of younger kids and cooked and cleaned and worked, grandmas helped with food and kids, wives worked in the veggie garden/farm or factories. Now one person is expected to work full time at a paying job, cook, clean, take care of the kids, look pretty, have a perfect house, attend all PTA, go to every sporting/musical event. Drive kid around to all the activities, oh, yeah and feed them like Wolfgang Pack? Equality is nowhere to be found, except for few lucky women, and the worst thing is women keep the toxic cycle spinning with their "doing it all for the sake of peace in the family." [/quote]
