Just found your blog - so please forgive commenting on an old post as I catch up. I noticed that the stay-at-home-dad demographic was rather under-represented in the comments here. While I don’t want to speak for all SAHD’s, I would like to say a big a-men. For my wife and I, the arrangement made sense based on whose individual nature would be more suited to the at-home role vs. the at-work role. And yes, that means I’m the always-on, 24/7, parent. Since I’m with our daughter all the time, I just ‘know’ what she needs … so yes, my wife often checks in with me … should the drink be juice or milk … etc. We also share the household chores. Things like laundry and dishes that just need to get churned through the machine I take care of during the day. And I give the bathroom and kitchen a scrub down, a little bit at a time (like just the kitchen countertop one day, and the next day sweep the floor, and the next day clean out behind the microwave, etc). My wife does a separate set of chores …

But I’m still the one who has to put together the ‘plan’ … when we go camping … when we go on a day-trip … when we are just hanging out around the house … but its just the pattern that works for us. My wife isn’t the planner … she has other strengths. But oh have there been many moments when I have had that exact same mental cry - the ability just to release the planning and managing responsibility to someone else … but then the control freak in me takes over.

[...] Once the packing is done and the checking and checking and checking that that one vital present is actually in the car, and we won’t back over it, or leave it on the roof of the car, I will be able to breathe. With Daren’s brain on school, I have been the one to steer the ship as Izzy would say. Shopping, planning, list making, cooking, cleaning, laundry, packing and most of all, panicking ever so slightly. I just want to get there and have a drink. Or eight. teen. [...]

Hello! I found your blog through Blog Soldiers… finally a blog worth reading :)

I appreciated this post (and all the people who commented) as my husband and I have gone through similar rows since our twins were born 10 months ago (and have been crying and puking from reflux ever since).

Keep up the good writing and see you around Blog Soldiers! :)

INITIATIVE. That sums it up in our family. I have a great husband, always willing to help. But I have to force myself (and him) to get over the feeling that he is doing me a favor by helping with the children and the house. It’s not a favor, it’s a family. Sometimes I am so tired of asking for help or directing that it seems easier to just do it myself and wallow in my martyrdom. Can’t live with ‘em, can’t live trying to tiredly explain how and why you can’t live with ‘em.
