My hubby does a ton of cooking and the kids marvel at daddy's skills. Whenever I work outside the house he takes over. And he even oversees the schoolwork once a week (I home school) when I go out for "me" time on Wednesdays!<br /><br />I agree with Gigi, talk a lot about your expectations before you have kids and work out a plan, remembering you're on the same team! There will always be times when one does more than the other. Always. Think of it this way, sometimes when climbing a mountain with someone, you help them along, and sometimes they help you. Be thankful when one can carry the load more than the other, because if you both were weak at the same time, imagine what would happen!<br /><br />Don't sweat the book reading incident, that was just a matter of perception of time, once you give yourselves some wiggle room in that department it won't bother you all as much.<br /><br />Be a team!<br /><br />Ok enough of my old self.<br /><br />Thanks for following my blog! Happy weekend!Insanitykimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05026989747334897393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3024540932409515890.post-73835333471020993062009-11-20T12:12:40.823-08:002009-11-20T12:12:40.823-08:00Its totally up to you and the husband. My husband...Its totally up to you and the husband. My husband and I come from very traditional families, and we like some of those things to be maintained. At the same time, he bathes the kids often and he also does grocery shopping several times a week. I fix things - toilets, chairs, doors....it works for us. But you must do whatever works for you both, and definitely talk ALOT about your expectations of each other before you have a screaming newborn to distract you! :)GiGihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04879399199941943861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3024540932409515890.post-64889956679976591532009-11-20T11:09:06.940-08:002009-11-20T11:09:06.940-08:00However, you want to define it. Don't get box...However, you want to define it. Don't get boxed into traditional roles. teach your children that you all cook. you all clean. You all raise them and have fun with them. <br /><br />It will be your family. Ignore everyone but each other (that includes me :0) You will define it and it will be wonderful.Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17911230635293326933noreply@blogger.com
