[quote=Anonymous]I do 90% of AP management. Our APs definitely have been much more apt to bring something up with me or in general just communicate more with me - I think also because we're both women. I do "consult" with DH when making decisions to make sure we are on the same page. His biggest AP roles are doing the initial test-drives (I do not have the nerves for this) and being the one to lay down the law (if ever necessary). I sometimes feel like DH doesn't appreciate how much work it is to "manage" the AP. He tends to think, we've got an AP, she can take care of whatever it is, and discounts the effort it takes to make sure there are instructions/follow-through/etc. For example, I am resisting having his father visit us for the week immediately preceding new AP arrival. I definitely feel under stress that week making sure I have everything ready (and saying goodbye to old AP) not to mention the logistics that need to be taken care of. DH is oblivious to this.[/quote]
