[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Salary gap and chore division are two different issues, keep them separate. All money is family money, not his or hers. You can communicate to him that you are on maternity leave to heal your body, bond with and care for the baby and help build toddler-baby bond, not for taking over home chores. If you two can afford hired help, do utilize it to give yourselves a break. [/quote]

I've been the partner working more hours, making more money, being more intentional about my career, and doing the bulk of the domestic work and it didn't feel separate to me. At a certain point it's reasonable to ask what your partner is bringing to the table. This guy is sleeping through the night while she does all the baby stuff and her income supports them. [/quote]

We don't know if he is sleeping through the night or doing a 2 am feed or diaper change or putting toddler to sleep. [/quote]

"he is the one who is sleeping through the night and who is able to fit in an hour-long workout every day"[/quote]
