Are you and your DH a "team"?

    We have our own sort of team dynamic going on right now. I've been on mat leave for 9 months (3 more to go) and so I've taken over 90% of the domestic duties in the house. DH works very had (especially this year while I'm off) and has made our living situation very comfortable. He does the 'man' jobs on the weekend though- car maintenance, yard maintenance, handy work etc. and usually cleans up after dinner. He also helps on weekends with cooking. When I go back to work there is going to be a major shift in our workloads though... he needs to pick up more slack when I'm working full time again.

    @MrsTiz: My "team" is exactly the same as yours plus I have to schedule all of his appointments for him, maintain the connections with his family and do all the child-rearing. I hear you on the frustration, it gets hard not to smother them while they sleep sometimes (kidding! lol).

    Then again I just let it go because I knew who my husband was and what he was going to contribute when I married him and I love him for what he is. Plus, the man can't clean a floor worth a damn
