[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no rule that says the stay at home prentice must do all domestic tasks. DH is a big law attorney and I’m a stay at home mom and he does all the laundry (including making the older kids do their own laundry). We have a division of labor that we have discussed and agreed upon, and it works well for us. You can’t say it’s somebody’s job to do something just because they’re the stay at home parent (except supervise the kids) and you certainly can’t say *how* they should do that job. [/quote]

If OP's wife is taking the kids to McDonald's for most of their meals, I think he has a right and a responsibility to try to turn this around.[/quote]

Well first they have to agree on what their jobs and responsibilities are. OP and others say it’s her job to cook, but if you didn’t agree to it, it’s not your job. Now I have little kids and I certainly would not take them to McDonald’s for all their meals, and parents do need to discuss their kids’ nutrition. But storming in and saying “this is your job, here is a cookbook” is inaccurate and totally counterproductive.  [/quote]
