[quote=Anonymous]Why don't I "let" my husband take care of half the mental load? Hahahaha. Because there are real consequences and my children will be the victims. If my husband were in charge of all the pediatrician appointments, they would not be allowed to attend school because they'd be behind on their vaccines. They would see the dentist maybe once every other year. He would feed my 2 year old a salad because that's what he eats, even though she'd be famished and cranky. My children wouldn't have weather appropriate shoes, much less shoes that fit their growing feet. They wouldn't have a warm coat when the weather started turning cold. They wouldn't have summer camp to attend because you have to sign up in November. And no playdates, because he's too busy to get to know the other parents to arrange them. Their nails would be long and dirty, and god forbid if one of them caught lice!
So you tell me, do you want to chance the consequences of this negligence? Do you think the kids should have to learn the hard way that their dad is either incompetent or unwilling to pay attention to the details that allow them to go to school, eat hot meals, and function in society?[/quote]
