[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Husband and teen leave every day at 7:15am.  He does drop off and then goes to work.  He is usually at work before 8am and home by 6:30pm.  I am at work by 8:30am and do the pick up in the afternoon so I usually leave around 3:30.  He does whatever I ask of him and he does all the dishes.  Typically he does not think to do something helpful on his own, but every now and then he does.  He will do anything kid related.  Anything.  I ask him to take care of a lot of kid related errands -- shoe shopping, athletic gear shopping, sick visits to the doctor.  He will do all of that readily.  I think I will keep him.  [/quote]

Same here, it was the only workable arrangement. All my DH can do is execution.  No planning, no managing, no anticipating, no opinion on anything. He can only think of office work - where ironically he eagerly does all sorts of planning, foresight, and managing - but cops out at home, with the family, with the house property. It was awful when the kids were little - I could not count on him to do anything nor anything right.  He vastly underestimated what it takes to raise a family. Now, he realizes if he isn't in top of a few things or anything, he must listen to those who are.

If something were to happen to me there would be serious issues.  He'd try to pay to outsource everything, maybe even move his mom in. 
But ultimately, you cannot outsource mentoring, listening to, and being a role model to your children.

Plus I work FT so have to waste time making lists for him and the nanny.[/quote]
