I do everything! cooking, cleaning, shopping, finances, you name it I do it. Patrick works 6 days a week with mandatory overtime. I`m not sure if I`m just used to this lifestyle or choose it but all and all it works.... for now

At the moment I am still at home with my 2 kids so I do pretty much all the house work. I always make sure that when DH comes home he has a cup of coffee and tea ready. Once dinner is done DH looks after the baby while I clear up (sometimes he clears up while I sit down if ive had a bad day) However on the weekend DH get up with the kids and Sunday he cooks me Sunday breakfast. I would say I am quite laid back, and go with the flow. We both talk about how things are. When I return to work everything will be split 50/50. I am not worried at all, because both me and DH work as a team. We both sit down in the evening together. Like DH says he finishes `work` at 4:30pm comes home and is then a parent, and I am a parent 100% of the time while I am always here.

I take care of the cooking/cleaning/shopping/dog... hubby takes care of the finances, but at the end of the day, we just take care of eachother... If I`m super tired, he`ll make dinner, or unload the dishwasher or vaccuum. (He`s working, I`m not) so I have all day to clean and have dinner ready for him when he gets home.

Hubby works long hours 6 days a week, so when Sunday comes around he is catching up on outdoor jobs, mainly fencing and maintaining anything outside and I also help him. Inside it is me that does all the laundry, cleaning, cooking, bottles etc etc and I also mow the lawns once a week and give the outside verandah a clean every week, occasionally if I can`t be bothered cleaning the house, hubby will do it, but he draws the line at the bathroom and kitchen...lol, and I am the one who takes the rubbish out every week. But if hubby orders me to do something, I am much like Rachel, I won`t do it, and I defintly will not make him breakfast or lunch on the days that he is home.

In our house, we don`t have specific duties. Whoever isn`t busy @ the time whatever needs to be done, they do it.. no complaints!! I recently had one of my friends tell me she COULDN`T do something, because that wasn`t `HER CHORE`!! lol...

Lookalike (1054.9 days ago)
I do MOST of the laundry, cooking, and cleaning. He does MOST of the gardening and fixing thigs. We both work and he goes to school. So I wouldn`t say 50/50 but we do have things divided up mostly along gender lines. He also does almost all of the driving. It`s not about not letting me drive, but about taking care of me. It`s not insulting to me, because I can drive if I want to, he`s just nice enough to know that he should be taking care of me.

He does most, and works and goes to school. I`m exhausted 24/7

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
