[quote=Anonymous]I'm with OP.  Her DH sound really passive aggressive.  If he doesn't want to clean up the dinner dishes, then that's the conversation they should have.  He shouldn't agree to do something and then do a half assed job at it.  Is that how he handles work assignments?  I doubt it.  She's been working all day too, and it's not unreasonable to expect everyone in the house (kids too, when they are old enough), to lend a hand for the common good.  This is really basic, but it sounds like it's turning into a power struggle.  SAHP does not equal slave.  Her DH does not live in a hotel with full meal service.  He lives with his family. He's also modeling what it means to be a partner.  OP says that DH has lots of time for hobbies etc.  It sounds like they need a good conversation, then she needs to make sure she carves out some me time.  Let him do dinner/bath/bed.

They both work full time, and if she worked out of the home, they would be paying someone a decent wage to do what she's doing.  And then they'd both be entitled to check out at the end of a work day?  No, they'd have to take over for the nanny/au pair/day care center and get dinner on the table, cleaned up, kids bathed and in bed, etc.  [/quote]
