[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK, enough with those of you saying "he's a grown man" and "I'm not his mommy." Yeah. We get it. But here's what--he's not my daddy, and I'm fully capable, but I NEVER mow the lawn or take the trash and recycling bins down to the curb. So just because I do the majority of the laundry and some other "indoor" tasks doesn't mean that we don't operate as equals. [/quote]

Strange. Do you just not want to do those chores?

I do trash and recycling as much as DH because I'm a grown woman. :P

Not PP, but we also have a similar division even though we're otherwise not a very traditional couple. You could say that they're genedered roles, but I care more about how much total work we're each putting in, rather than each of us interchangeably being able - and willing - to do each other's tasks. Some amount of specialization makes sense in a marriage - as long as my contributions aren't discounted because it's "women's work," then why avoid an otherwise enjoyable task?[/quote]
