[quote=Anonymous]I took all responsibility for all medical appointments, therapy appointments, school and camp enrollment, p/t conferences, picking up children from school, dealing with home repairs solo, dealing with most car repairs solo, food prep for me and the kids, extracurricular enrollment and attendance, help with homework, record keeping, bill paying, financial planning for the family, cleaning, repairing/replacing items as needed, furnishing the house, laundry for everyone, purchasing clothing for everyone, etc. DH just came home and hung out/did fun stuff with the kids on weekend. I even became the family vacation planner, as in DH would declare where he wanted to go and it was up to be to plan and budget for it.

I see the temptation but it's a slippery slope. My DH is not a horrible husband. He just did not understand why I couldn't get all of these things done while he was at work. Finally one day I told him that I did not know what shoe or pant size he is because he keeps gaining and losing weight. I stopped buying him clothes and he hasn't bought any clothes for himself since.

DH is very much the fun parent and my back-up. He readily took on the fun parent role. The back-up role takes frequent and specific requests of what needs to be done and how to do it when I can do this. [/quote]
