[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you manage the division of labor, prioritizing careers, etc? Do you feel it is easier for you than hetero couples?[/quote]

It IS easier because we don't have to rely on gender roles.  Decisions are based on what works best.

I was inspired by the Traditional Husband because our set up is somewhat similar (but for different reasons).  I have been a STAH/WAHM mom since my oldest was born.  It's what I wanted to do for a long time, it's what we both wanted.  DW made more money than I did before we decided to have kids so she continued to work.  When she had DD she was itching to get back to work during her maternity leave.  It's not that she didn't love our children but she needed to be able to get out.  That's what worked for her.

As far as division of labor it's pretty much 50/50.  I of course keep up with house chores during the day, but she tends to make dinner every night (she is a better cook). We both can cook, clean, do yard work, and fix things around the house.  [/quote]
