[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel you, OP. I think 95% of my female friends married to men experience this to some extent. My solution is 1) to accept; and 2) to outsource if you can afford to. We have weekly housekeepers, which helps a lot. I am thinking of upping to twice/week to help with the laundry. I have friends who hire professional organizers on a regular basis, too.
Also, do you have a shared Google calendar? Put EVERYTHING on the calendar and invite DH for everything. I put every single kids' practice, lessons, appointments, birthday party, school calendar event, etc. Sit with DH and make him accept all the invites so that he is aware of everything that needs logistical coordination. You can even put something like "Buy Larla's Birthday Present" as a calendar event. [/quote]

I get why hiring out so much is a bitter pill for OP given that she is the one making the money for all that though.

In my marriage it’s less bitter because he makes more, so it’s more like him buying his way out of his fair share. [/quote]
