[quote=Anonymous]Upper middle class experience here, but generally see the mothers far more "managing" everything except certain discrete tasks the male does. I'm in an unusual situation as the male who does the tasks more typical of the mother (cook, clean, manage household, provision, remember dates, realize the logistics and try to make the plans fit the reality of what has to happen (i.e. we can't just go do something without other stuff happening), etc.). My wife does some things like the majority of our kid's clothes shopping but we end up tag teaming a lot of other stuff related to the kids. I make the lunches. I do 98% of pickup/drop-off. I also have a FT job (with flexibility) but I'm often over-stressed. And I realize in the majority of relationships it's the mom in my role. But I also know other dads like this. (also, fwiw, I'm decently compensated (150k+) but my wife makes 5-6 times what I make so there's some inherent acceptance of this due to the salary/job demands, and also I'm better at the household stuff :)[/quote]
