[quote=Anonymous]We are two parents who work full-time with a three year old, and we have a full time nanny.

We outsource cleaning - I do more than him in between (I definitely have higher standards) but I let that go a long time ago.

Cooking, we do a mix of take out and easy meals. Tonight we had rotisserie chicken, instant rice, and steamed broccoli. Groceries are usually ordered online by me - they get delivered while we are at work and our nanny puts them away. Husband does most of the other errand running - he was the one who stopped by the store tonight on his way home to pick up the chicken.

DH is a very involved parent which makes up for a lot, both the hands-on day-to-day parenting and the mental load stuff.

For example, he took the lead on our child's recent school application process - he did the preliminary research, created the spreadsheet comparing all the options, deadlines etc, filled out the applications (with my input of course - we made all the decisions together).

He is a fully capable parent - when I travel for work he takes care of everything, I'm not leaving him lists of how to look after our child like some of my friends have to do. Of course having a full time nanny makes this infinitally easier, but I know that he's got it. [/quote]
