[quote=Anonymous]I had a similar conversation with my husband when my kids were little. What got to me was that he was surprised that I felt this way. It wasn’t even really that I minded that this was the dynamic. Little kids are stressful, but I was probably going to feel that stress either way, and one of us should be able to work late or go to the store. What got to me was that he didn’t appreciate that this was happening. I remember thinking that I would have preferred a husband who openly said that he wanted me to scale back at work or to get up early with the kids every day over one who paid lip service to being there 50/50, but never actually was.
