[quote=Anonymous]I am in a similar situation. I don't feel guilty about working less.

I can't stand living in a disorganized, unclean home, so I personally do a lot more of than 50% of the household stuff because I have the time to do it and it really matters to me. There is no way my house would be as clean as I wanted it if I only did the same amount of housework as my DH does.

I do waaaaaaay more childcare stuff than DH. My job is flexible because when we had kids we realized someone's had to be and I'm the one who did it. So a lot of that flexility is utilized to make our life with kids work.

Which is why I don't feel guilty about working less and never feel guilty about working out in the middle of the day or watching Netflix or just taking the afternoon to wander around Target or go read in a park. Today I have zero work to do, but the last few weeks have been super stressful with kids off school and snow days and finishing up a work project. So I'm going to do some light cleaning, take a nap, go to a coffee shop for a bit to read, and then make dinner. Zero guilt. I work hard and I earned this break.[/quote]
