I guess the way I see it is, if both husband and wife are working full time, wouldn't it be fair if both pitched in for everything 50/50? I know in most cases, the wife still ends up doing more though....just wonder why it is still like that.
It's 50-50 if you want it to be. Most women just plain feel guilty or inadequate if she sees her hubby doing some of the cooking cleaning chores.

I for one NEVER HAD THAT COMPLEX (THANK GOD!)

I'll chop the pyaz and he's put it in haandi. Sometimes he grills. He Vacums - I DUST. He put the luandry into the washer and dryer and I fold and put it away. Each one of us takes one child to put to bed. (He gets the easier one)

Your chores double with kids. So there is no other way.

Sometimes we do ROCK PAPER SCISSORS for whose turn it is to change the diaper







A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
