[quote=Anonymous]My husband is a stay at home dad.  He does all child care, including school drop off for our oldest.  Breakfast for both kids, lunch for our toddler, takes him to the playground or to story time at the library and the occasional play date.

He does all the dishes and keeps the kitchen clean, picks up in the living room and generally keeps the house tidy.  (I generally vacuum clean).  He handles all day time appointments and does all laundry (why divide laundry up, that seems strange).

I pay the bills, go grocery shopping and cook dinner.  He picks up other items, as needed during the week.  He also typically works during naptime.

The kids do watch about 20 minutes of TV when the oldest gets home from school.  I'd prefer that this doesn't happen, but I'm not up for an argument about it, and often they go to the park instead.  That said, both of my children have been late talkers (though oldest has more than caught up now and is very academically advanced).  I'm pushing my husband to talk and play more with the youngest, but he may just not be ready to talk much yet.[/quote]
