[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why anyone would marry someone who isn't willing and abke to pull their weight.  I dumped a few guys for it after the first few months of dating.  Couldn't you see this coming?[/quote]

Ehh. I have an amazing husband who pulls his own weight. But if I didn't stay on it, he wouldn't realize when I have too many balls I'm trying to juggle. Sometimes husbands don't realize how hard or voluminous the work is. For instance, when dd was a newborn, DH had no idea how often i was up nursing her because he slept through it all. He kept telling everyone about what an easy newborn she was until I had to lose it on him. It was easy because I was nursing and doing 90%.

I think most women do 50% before kids, but once kids come along, the vast majority of extra responsibilities get shifted to women. I hosted a mom's party when our babies were 6 months old. Most of the women there said their husbands had never put their 6 months olds to sleep before. I can't imagine 6 months of a husband NEVER putting their baby to sleep. Insane. And I'm nursing so I understand that. [/quote]
