[quote=Anonymous]My husband is the “primary parent” now- which is a new dynamic for us. He now works from home and has a way more flexible schedule. I leave at 7am and don’t get home until 5:30 or 6. I can’t do any non-work related tasks during the day so my husband takes care of all the forms, registrations, dr appts, etc. he arranges play dates and is the one who really knows the neighborhood kids. I am the bread winner so this dynamic works but I will say that I have a lot of insecurity about it. I feel judged by other moms and I resent how much people praise my husband for doing tasks that I did for years. I know if he were a woman, no one would think he was a saint for juggling it all- that’s just an expectation. I know that I am lucky to have such an invested co-parent and most importantly, my kids are super close with their dad. I wouldn’t necessarily change it but like everything, it has pros and cons.
