[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't really do Facebook, but I have seen couples give joint emails.  In one way, I think it's a bit creepy.  But, in the situations in which I've been given the joint email, I've never been a close friend and it's always been peers with kids in my community, and that I sort of admire as a sneaky way for the wife to make sure coparenting is 50/50.

When the emails for birthday party invites, school functions, etc. come only to me, I am forced to manage them or delegate them, but then I still have to stay on top of whether the person to whom I have delegated fills the responsibility because it's my social capital that is wasted when DH fails to RSVP or show for the birthday party.

So, I don't know -- creepy or a necessary step to our emancipation? [/quote]

I’m the wife and we do the shared email thing. And yes, it has a lot to with co-parenting. I wasn’t sneaky about it. My husband doesn’t have to ask why but I would straight up tell him why if he did! ?

Besides, my husband likes to be in the loop and is pretty annoyed when people regard him as not an equal parent. Society tries to make me solely responsible for all minutiae related to our kid and leave him out. That is not how we see it.

The ultimate reason I do it though is in case I drop dead. He’s already in the know about everything and has access to contacts, documents, correspondence from doctors or therapists,and such, and an easy way to log into accounts etc.

Before the kid, we used it for communicating with realtors, banks etc so we both have access to those docs.

Rarely, do I get anything interesting in my personal email anyway. My friends text me or just call. [/quote]
