[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, women fell for 'we can do it all' storyline. No, neither us nor men can. Men and women need each other. We need to fairly divide and responsibly deliver for the team. Your marriage's health and your family's happiness should come before advancement of your careers.[/quote]

This is so blaming of women. I don’t know many women who “fell” for anything. Most of us marry men who we think are our equals only to find out once married with kids that they’re man babies. Full on “bait and switch”. This is mot our “fault”. Man babies need to do/be better. Period. [/quote]

And many men talk a good game early on. Also everything seems fine early on, especially before kids. When my DH and I were first living together and then married- he seemed happy to do “50/50” but it was 50% of……practically nothing. His “half” took maybe 2 hours per week? Depending if you count cooking. And that work obviously did not seriously infringe on his free time, sleep, or anything else he wanted to do. Two adults in a condo don’t exactly generate much housework or many extra tasks.

Add in a house, kids etc and all of the work multiplies exponentially….and has very little relation to the “2 adults in their little condo” scenario that many couples start with.

There must be a better way to predict which men will be better at 50/50 arrangements. IMHO I think it may relate back a lot to what they saw in their family of origin. I work FT and make my son do a lot of chores (and the same chores as his sister) to hopefully? put him on the right path. [/quote]
