[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I am in the similar situation: husband is a fed, I work 50-70 hours/week. The difference is I run my family. I stayed with my kids at home 1-2 years when they were young, I disciplined them early and taught them good eating habits. We never had any electronic games at home and no cable. Smart phone was given only at the high school, middle school and elementary school kids are still using flip phones for the phone calls only. Either DH or I always checked the homework up to 3rd-4th grade and then kids did everything on their own. They doing great in the school (every single A for years, and taking very challenging classes in the high school). Each kids assigned a chore (we don't pay them for chores ), so when I get home, kitchen floor is swept, counters wiped, dog is walked, etc. Older kid is cooking now and cooks 2 dinners a week, so I cook only on the weekend, DH cooks once and we order sometimes. The key to this schedule is to prepare everyone (including the husband), and then it is function very well. [/quote]

So, basically you are admitting you don't do much.[/quote]

I mean, besides teaching her children how to be self sufficient and be a team that helps run their household, no, she doesn't do much. Your attitude is how we end up with grown folks (you know, OPs DH) who are clueless about what needs to happen to make a household run efficiently.[/quote]
