[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Wanted to give an update. We are going to stop soccer coordinator job (found another family to take it) and we are going to do the drop off daycare option at my workplace once a week.  I am also going to wash all bottles and change everyones sheets once a week.  These are jobs I don't mind doing at all but probably would not have thought about doing unless my wife said "this is your job now" so I am glad we had a little conference on the roles.  I doubt my wife has ADHD/ADD to be honest, I just think its a really busy time and my kids strongly prefer "moms way/mom do it" right now.  I am trying to navigate efficiently to make things equal.[/quote]

This sounds great, OP. I bet it's even just helpful for her mental health that you're making such an effort. I think getting rid of the soccer coordinator role was also key -- that's one of those annoying jobs that she was probably using her only 5 hours of downtime to do leaving her w/ none at all and, when you're just trying to survive, 0 v 5 hours/week of downtime is huge.[/quote]
