[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just want to say to any males who are reading threads here: do your share of housework and childcare!   Literally every single woman I know does way, way more. [/quote]

And what is my share? I am working 50 hours a week and my wife is a SAHM who naps every day. I know she helps with my younger daughter but age is 13 and my 18 year old is in office by me.

She does supermarket shipping, dentist appointments and makes dinner. I take our trash, make bed, clean up after dinner, pay the bills, manage the finances, do the home repairs. I also drive kids a lot at night to stuff. [/quote]

As before, that means PPs statement *doesn’t apply to you*. [/quote]

The PP said “Literally every single woman I know does way, way more” which means she does think it applies to him.[/quote]

DP, but I want to respond to the 50 hour a week male, because that is my husband, except I do the finances and also work a 40 hour a week professional job and have 3 kids, although all younger than yours. The supermarket shopping probably also involves meal planning. If she is doing dentist appointments, she is also probably doing the doctor appointments too. Who buys the kids clothes and does the laundry? Who helps the kids buy other things they need, like toiletries, medicine, new sheets, etc. Who buys the kids birthday presents and Christmas presents? Who plans the vacations and packs? School business, summer camp, activities, etc. Who has made sure the kid's grow up with manners, clean-up after themselves, and provides a shoulder for the kid's to cry on? Who tidies and cleans, possibly picking up after you?

Obviously my situation isn't exactly the same, and I know my husband and possibly you consider some of those things above to be unnecessary or perhaps easy to do. But, I just wanted to point it out because you asked and the fact you don't know speaks volumes.[/quote]
