[quote=Anonymous]Similar to the previous PP, when we are both home, we are both 'on duty' and engaged. On weekends, we go out and do things as a family, or someone hangs out in the vicinity of the kids while the other gets stuff done. We do arrange to give each other breaks to go exercise or grab a beer with friends, but that's pretty equitable.

Last weekend was pretty typical. DH hung out with both kids (3&5) Saturday morning then then took them out to Home Depot so I could get some work done. Saturday afternoon we all hung out at home, cleaning up a bit, amusing kids, and prepping dinner to have friends over. Sunday, he took one kid to the pool while I took the other to a birthday party. In the afternoon, I hung out with both kids while he went on a long run, then we all hung out/did chores/errands until bedtime. During the week, I'm home with the kids afterschool, but once he gets home he hangs with the kids while I prep dinner, we divide and conquer for bedtime, and then get whatever downtime we need after bedtime. It would annoy me to no end if he felt entitled to checked out and leave me to deal with the kids (and deprive them of fun family time) on a regular basis with no sort of reciprocity.[/quote]
