I don't come home and sit in front of a TV with or without a beer. Life is too short, and AFF is too interesting!  |
Well, whatever works. My point is that the division of labor needs to be equal, however it's divided. If both are working 40 hours, what is done at home also needs to be equal, rather than the guy putting up his feet and saying "I'm glad my day is done!" while she cooks supper, cleans and gives the kids a bath. I'm sure you agree.
