+1. I’m not changing the baby’s diaper and packing up lunch at the same time. But I can quickly run down the list of things I need to accomplish and get to work. [b]I think DH gets more easily overwhelmed by household tasks. Not sure why this is.[/b] [/quote]
because he doesn't want to do it and knows you will pick up his slack.[/quote]

Why is everyone so unwilling to accept the (by far) simplest answer??[/quote]
because then they would have to confront it, and that would cause issues.  Throwing the "disorder" label means that they can excuse it and avoid the confrontation.

To be fair, this is not a hill to die on and trying to change the paradigm would be like moving a mountain.  I can see why women would choose to excuse/ignore it. It's just easier.[/quote]

Yeah, but come on, our mothers and grandmothers moved the mountain for us.  Don't we owe it to our daughters?   And yes, while far less glorious than suffrage or first woman in med school, etc., the second shift absolutely will impede and thwart their realization of dreams and a full life.  E.g. 3-4 extra hours a week definitely can add up to writing a book or instituting a health-sustaining exercise schedule.[/quote]
PP here.. I don't disagree, and this is why in my household, my DH does a lot, and my kids see it. We teach both of our kids to cook, clean and do laundry.

To be fair, both DD and DS are terrible at multi-tasking, but I'm hoping that this is about maturity more than anything else.  I do teach my kids to be more effecient in how they do things, and how to multi-task, though they are pretty good at playing electronic games and watching tv or some such at the same time. I'm pretty sure they choose to ignore me just to get back at me, but I'm hoping that these life lessons will stick in their heads, and that once they are off living by themselves, they will remember all the things their parents taught them. I mean.. that pretty much sums up parenting.[/quote]
