[quote=Anonymous]I am always amazed at the SAHMs in my neighborhood that brag about sleeping in on the weekends and making their DH get up early to take kids to all the activities.  so many use the weekend as a personal vacation in my neighborhood.

WTF?  The man worked all week--let him have some downtime.  I WAH and have a more flexible, lighter work schedule than DH so I am always cognizant of giving him some downtime. His hours are much longer and the nature of his work is much more stressful-- Fed vs independent consultant. We both love watching our kids sports' games so we are both up for those--but I'll give him a break and do the bday party runs, mundane chores, etc.

It is give and take and nobody said it was going to be 50-50 [i]all of the time[/i].  True partnerships evolve/change in in very different ways.  I found when I stopped trying to look at it as 'I do X, Y, Z and so much' and started realizing the ways DH contributed--- I was much better off.

I agree.  Ball-busting and moaning and complaining does nobody good and turns partnerships sour.  If the housework is causing all the problems- hire a cleaning lady and cut back on other expenses if needed.[/quote]
