[quote=Anonymous]DH does 50% of everything. That was the deal before we had kids. Ok, I probably do a bit more of the kid shopping (because I want to) and he probably does a bit more of the gardening and teaching them to ride bikes and stuff (because he wants to). The stuff no one wants to do, i.e., clean, we outsource. We both work and earn about the same. We have a schedule so we can both get time to ourselves and exercise. It works for us. It’s called modern parenting. I don’t think we are alone. . . maybe we’re alone in the full-on spreadsheet detailing everything, but definitely not in the division of household labor. I’m actually surprised when I meet couples in their 30s who still follow the traditional model. There is maybe like 1 family in my 6 year old’s first grade class where the mom takes the lion’s share of the kid stuff. The dad is still very involved too - I think this was what they both wanted, so it works for them.[/quote]
