[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like you need to pick a time when the kids are occupied and neither of you is stressed and really talk about how you can divide responsibilities.  [b]Come to that meeting with a list of what needs to be done and when and then divide them up. [/b][/quote]

Yep, that's what we did. Our nanny told us she was moving due to her husband's job (he was being stationed in another state), so we sat down and talked about not getting a new nanny now that the kids are older and we both work from home permanently (which started in COVID and we've been lucky enough to keep on). We (mostly I) wrote down everything that needed to be done around the house, with the kids, with the dogs, everything. Then we divided up who did what when. We both saw the list, we both saw how it was divided (some things we each do half of, other things we each do all of), and we both felt like it was fair. Now there's no question who is picking up the dog poop on Thursday before the gardeners come or who is meeting the kids from the bus on Monday or who is driving to swim practice on Wednesday. Of course sometimes things come up so it's not always the same every week (i.e. he was in DC for half of this week), but each weekend we sit down and adjust what needs to get done. It has worked wonderfully. It also really helped him to see all the things I was doing that he wasn't aware of.[/quote]
