[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a HUGE problem in most households, OP, whether the protagonists acknowledge it or not. [b]I don't actually know any husband and father doing their fair share[/b] except my own father, who did it because my mother was handicapped and did not have full use of her hands and arms.

You need to have repeated and insistent conversations about it, both from a general "men don't do enough when women go back to work" and "this is the list of things you need to do in the morning, stop whining". Brook no dissent. It will be hard, but if he wants the extra income, this is what he needs to do, otherwise you're just going to find other solutions he won't like.[/quote]

You need better friends. Most of my friends have two working spouses and the dads are super involved. Of all the parents who drove carpools, it was all dads and only one mom. In multiple marriages the wives traveled for work and the husbands would be home with the kids during that time. My own husband is 50/50 on stuff around the house. There's not a single thing I do for the kids that he doesn't also do, and this has been true since birth (we had twins and they were bottle fed). [/quote]
