[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband is a good dad and a good husband but reading that list he does have a lot of "privilege." He does a lot of playing w/ the kids, reading to the kids, giving kids baths, taking kids to bed, taking kids to the park to play. But he has never made a Dr. or dentist appt for the kids (or taken them solo to the Dr. or dentist), planned a bday party, RSVPd to a bday party invite, planned a play date or social engagement for the kids, registered the kids for school or activities (although he is often the one to take them to the activities), he doesn't buy the kids clothing or school supplies. I don't know. I'm OK w/ that. I don't mind handling all of the above and it works for our family.

It's meal planning and cooking and making school lunches that I hate. And he does all of those tasks. That more than makes up for all the other things, for me.[/quote]

This division seems reasonably equitable in that your husband takes on the bulk of daily responsibilities. The problem for most moms is that they do all of the above and their spouses do none of it even though both parents work full-time.   [/quote]
