[quote=Anonymous]Here’s the thing though about “50/50” — in my experience, It’s not that every aspect of family life is 50/50. My husband doesn’t do 50% of the childcare or housework and guess what? Our system works for us. He picks up more on other things and his work life is more intense than mine, so we balance each other out on the whole. We look at it like a team sport where we play complimentary but different roles. So don’t panic looking at your relationship thinking you’ll be doing it wrong if you don’t split pick ups and drop offs evenly down the middle (as an example). It’s all about communication and figuring out what works for your family- which doesn’t have to be the same “checklist” as what works for other families (and what people have insisted you need in this thread.) And figuring that out takes time. [/quote]
