[quote=Anonymous]This post brings back a lot of memories from my marriage. After struggling with work life balance and many of your similar struggles, I decided to take a break and stay home. Many women handle the bulk of the kid stuff even if both parents are working. While DH has always been an attentive father when he is actually home, he has never done any planning, buying diapers, grocery shopping, clothes shopping, doctor appointments, signing up for activities, play dates, etc. Never. When he is home, he is good with taking kids out to play, baths, cleaning up, etc. This has always been the case. When I was working, I was often angry at division of labor. We both had higher incomes than you and we kept throwing money and outsourcing more. I felt like I was outsourcing my life and I decided I wanted to stop working and take a break. We had a third child and I never went back to work.[/quote]
