Man I wish I was young again. It was such a great life.

Joash, enjoy it - once gone, the typical Saturdays of our youth can never be experienced again

Ummmm swmbo isnt allowed in where secret mens business happens!(unless I need approval for some capital)

Basically she breaks I fix!

I dunno if I am domesticated at all. :confused:

I do the dishes half the time. Cook dinner occasionally (once or twice a week) and all breakfasts, do clothes once or twice a week, make the bed (futon!) 90% of the time, various cleaning like shower and vacuum and make the cash (but not too much, about 20 hours a week). I also do maybe half the grocery shopping and most of the out of the house stuff.

She does what I don't do, which right now is washing every day, lots of baby stuff, etc, etc.

I think I do maybe 5-10 nappies a day (but the boy don't poop!), half the bath, occasionally feed him, talk and play at least 2 hours a day, etc, etc.


I don't know that I do that much around here, but I can do all of it if I have to. Just wouldn't be a very happy Schtoo is all.


(If anyone is wondering, the 20 hours is correct, and affords lotsa shed time. The hourly rate I get is disgusting, which makes the few hours I work bearable... )

I do outside she does inside. Cooking is shared ( she 75% me 25%) My 25% is BBQ mostly. Good arrangement and works well. I get lots of shed tme.

daddy day care.. need i say more...?

The missus & I have an agreement~ whoever gets home first cooks dinner!
so about four nights a week we have cordon bleu meals, the rest of the time, she cooks.

As SWMBO is unwell, I've been doing pretty much everything for a few years now, if I don't do it, it doesn't get done. Because I'm not superman things get left undone, depending on priorities.
