I cook for him and clean the dishes and do the laundry and clean the house but I don't mind because it makes me happy to see him well cared for. He helps out in other ways by fixing everything, bringing the groceries in, shoveling all the snow, bringing the trash out, etc. And when I get behind he pitches in, like putting the clothes away or putting the dishes away. I like taking care of him, even if I do work 12 hour days - but if it bothered me I wouldn't do it at all. I try not to let "society" rule my life and if it makes me happy then I do it and if it doesn't then I don't - even if my entire life I was taught that I shouldn't be the "housekeeper"...I kinda like it.Kattrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17468694888034192536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-235398265133825592.post-59547401119395734632011-01-26T22:53:30.176-06:002011-01-26T22:53:30.176-06:00If this was a 365 days a year thing, I can see whe...If this was a 365 days a year thing, I can see where you'd start feeling a little June Cleaver-ish. But tell yourself that you're just putting in a little extra time around the house till he has more time to help out more too!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06965070539974262822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-235398265133825592.post-53121232364422555772011-01-26T16:49:39.100-06:002011-01-26T16:49:39.100-06:00What if you made a list of things you'll agree...What if you made a list of things you'll agree to do for him and things he needs to do for himself? For example, you'll cook but he cleans up. And if you make enough for him to take leftovers for lunch the next day, he has to pack those. You do the laundry but he folds his own. Almost like splitting each task in two. <br /><br />I'm happy to do a lot of things for my husband, but I am not his mother. I'm sort of in the reverse situation, actually. I work a LOT more hours than him, and one if not both days of the weekend. There are a lot of days when he just has to fend for himself and again...he's a big boy, he'll figure it out :)EmilyBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03977456818179074757noreply@blogger.com
