Re: mom vs dad

No body used quality time and diaper changing in the same sentence here, so I’m not sure if you got this thread confused with another.

**Not to pick at anyone but I always find it amusing how words like quality time and changing a diaper are used in the same sentence. Chores are chores… be it washing dishes or ure child’s butt. That is not quality time.

**My husband is very very involved in the upbringing of´our children…does everything. we are a team.. we divide the chores like this (but its not set in stone.. illness, good day or bad day all play a role)..

on weekdays he does minimal chore like things cuz he only gets 2 hours with the kids.. i dont want him coming home to a dirty diaper.. i change it .. not him. gotta respect the spouse too and the fact that they have been in meetings all day trying to earn some money.. you with a teething tot is not the same thing.. dont compare it pls.

I have them fed and clean and ready so when he comes home…he can sit down and relax with the kids and play with them..and that’s strictly family time…once done… he gets them ready for bed cuz its the fav part of the day for him… touching their tiny hands and brushing their pearly whites. … he does this whilst I warm up the food and set the table for us 2 etc…

Like Wendy …the older kid.only wants me to put him to bed…for the baby…depends who wants to.do it…the lesser of the tired gets the job done. Could be.me or the husband. depending on how teh day has gone for each of us. we have even at one point.. tossed a coin

for weekends.. he takes charge of more child related chores and house ones too… whilst i take it a bit more easy and do things like taking care of the jungle growing on my legs etc… he does nap times for both kids… takes care of one kid the whole day whilst i the other..
the sleeping in on mornings… usually its me cuz he is an early riser. cant sleep past 8 am even on a friggin weekend. robot kahi ka.

team effort… i feel it works out great for us cuz we respect each other as humans first.. its balanced.. the scale is not tipping dangerously at one end nor the other. there is no resentment in my heart that im doing it all whilst he scratches himself infront of the tv.. nor does he think he is drowing in diapers whilst i sit and manicure my claws.

but honestly… i owe it to my mil for raising such a well rounded man.
