[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course he doesn’t come home until dinner time. I’d like to walk in right at dinner time, too.  He can prep dinner in the morning (cut and wash all the produce, etc.) and you can cook it when you get home.  Yes as to other suggestions of kids should be making own lunches and increase cleaning service.  They probably don’t need showers every day so see what can be streamlined.  [/quote]

NP here, but I have a very similar situation to the OP, except that I work until 5pm each day before rushing to get a child from daycare.  This idea of asking spouse to prep meals, etc is all well and good, but it doesn't remove the mental energy that is put (usually on the mother, but not always, I know!) to figure out "What to make".  Just figuring out meals for me is one of my hated tasks each week - I feel like it's always hanging over my head.  So, tasking out jobs to a spouse feels like it's not even worth it - it does take away the time spent on that task, but it doesn't remove the mental weight.  [/quote]
