[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We did this earlier in our career as parents than you, but I got to a breaking point also.  My husband really had no idea how much I was doing because I was just doing it and not asking for help.  So, we sat down and I calmly told him how much I was doing and asked him to help out more. I made some suggestions for what he could be in charge of, he took some, made some others.  It wasnt a one-day conversation.  But it was very helpful and now we have a much more fair division of labor.  When I feel that I am once again doing more than he is, we have the conversation again.[/quote]

How come men never ask for advice on how to get their wives to do their fair share?  Is it that men really don't realize how much time laundry, grocery shopping, cooking and bill paying/investing take?[/quote]

This doesn't make sense. The guys who don't know how much time and effort it takes are the guys not pulling their weight. Why would they ask their wives to step up? Those wives are already doing it all. [/quote]

Exactly. How do they think their wives got into the position of doing it all?[/quote]
