[QUOTE="Pink Elephant, post: 729669, member: 21572"] Yes and no. husband tends to take care of the outdoor type things such as the shovelling (wintertime), lawn-mowing (summertime), tree-pruning, and that sort of thing, while I tend to concentrate my efforts on indoor things such as cooking, baking, laundry, etc. As for general household banking, that's always fallen on me, because I'm at home all the time, plus I've been doing it for so many years that I almost feel as though it's become my very own personal job now, plus I actually enjoy doing it, because it gives me a chance to escape the confines of the house for a few hours, and at the same time, get dressed-up. As for baby and childcare, I was always the master of that, and really, I much preferred it that way, and besides, husband didn't want [I]any part[/I] of changing diapers (ugh-uh), no-siree. In fact, my sister in law had to make an emergency visit over to our house one evening when husband was at home with the kids, because someone had filled their pants (diapers) to the elastics, and husband couldn't possibly handle the situation, so he called dear sister in law to come over and take care of the duty. I was so mad! However, with that said, husband is supportive of helping me with dishes (washing/drying), and whatever else I ask him to do, which really, is very little these days. Not like it was when the kids were little. Do think had I used disposable diapers when the kids were little, husband might have changed an occasion diaper when needed, but being that I used cloth diapers, there was just no way. LOL! [/QUOTE]
