[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm curious to hear from other SAHM whether or not they do everything at home and with the kids and house because they stay at home.  I'm talking finances/bills/planning/vacations/future plans/housework (with kids chipping in for chores on a regular basis)/shopping/cooking/clean up/laundry/educational concerns of children/medical concerns and responsibilities for children/home and property maintenance/hiring people to do outside work when necessary/socialization planning, etc.

Is it reasonable to expect the other parent to do anything when they are home, or should they just be able to relax and have no responsibilities when home?

I am the CEO and manager of most of these things, but everyone is a worker. I outsource cleaning, DH does cooking and I do laundry. All yardwork is outsourced under my supervision. All big purchase, remodelling, home improvement is under my supervision. DH has no part in it. Kids education and all medical is handled by me. I have people who have worked for me for 15 years+ in many spheres of my domestic life. 
We keep each other appraised of what we do. We seamlessly transition if one of us is unable to do so.
