[quote=Anonymous]Let's say OP is "working" from 7:30 am to 9:00 am getting kids up, fed, lunches packed, driven to school, returning home.  Say also that she is "working" from 3:00 pm to 9:30 pm doing pick up, shuttling to activities, supervising homework, making dinner, cleaning up dinner, supervising baths, and bedtime.  Finally, let's also assume she is "working" on average for 2 out of the 6 hours the kids are in school by things like house cleaning, bills, laundry, grocery shopping, errands, and prepping dinner.  That too is a 10 hour work day.  Her 4 hours of quiet time are from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm, while her husband's quiet time is from 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm.  So, one could argue that on weekdays it is indeed "fair" to keep things status quo -- purely from an hours worked perspective (which is apparently the perspective OPs husband has).  That being said, it sounds like to be "fair" OPs husband needs to pitch in more on weekends.  After all, there are some things that OP can't do in the middle of a weekday, like have a drink with friends or see a concert.  Of course, it would be ideal if OPs husband actually wanted to spend time with his kids on evenings and weekends and wasn't just doing it because it was "fair" based upon how much each spouse "worked" during the week.[/quote]
