[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've not met any men who are good at it and it seems that the mom who works for pay still has to do all of the homework.

I think women are stuck having to be the "momagers" of the family. A husband can execute a task, but not take care of the "macro" of family life...finding a doctor, getting a birthday present, making dinner, cleaning the house, etc. all while the woman is at work. [b]I dare anyone to tell me of one man who can do all of those things.[/b][/quote]

For me, it's not that the man (husband) [i]can't[/i] do those things--it's that he'll only do then when the woman notices and asks him to do them.... whereas the woman just notices something that needs to be done and does it. If I asked my husband to keep an eye on the little one's laundry and do it when it gets full, he will. But a part of me resents the fact that I need to ask him to do that. No one asks ME to do it; I just notice, and do it.  My DH will take on any task I ask him to do: make dinner, take the kids to a doctor's appointment, take the cat to the vet. But that's the key. I still have the task on my mind, because I have to ask him to do it.

Does that make any sense? Am I explaining it right? Please don't think I'm being petty. I do love my DH! And he is a great dad.[/quote]
