[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, the first year was difficult because I was sleep deprived. And nursing sucked. Once I got sleep and weaned, I handled everything much better.

I also did not marry a man child. My husband does plenty and shares the mental load of parenting and running our lives. We run things by each other, but we both notice when we're out of things or when the trash cans need to be brought in or whether the kids need clothes at daycare, etc. I would say we're the exception. Almost all of my friends have spouses who don't do this. As a result, they are either stressed and juggling it all and resentful or resigned that this is their life or they quit, being SAHMs, STILL do all of the house stuff and are either resigned or resentful.

We both handle sick days. We split drop offs and pick ups. We meal plan together, share a peapod account that we both add to and basically run things jointly. If anything, he handles more than I do because he has excellent executive functioning skills and is super organized.

Our kids are 3 and 5. It's actually a joy. I wouldn't think this when my kids were infants. [/quote]
