A little housework poll

[ailbhe]

This isn't as carefully thought out as I wanted it to be but I've had a hell of a day and topped it off by cooking us all dinner while watching both children - Emer on my hip, Linnea playing in the kitchen. Then we reached a point where Rob only had to hold Emer for her to have screaming hysterics - we've been working up to that for a couple of weeks now, he has always ignored small babies by default and she's really noticing - and now I've gotten her off to sleep and perhaps I will have an uninterrupted, hot cup of tea.

At least Rob is prepping tomorrow's dinner, which will go in the slow cooker. Tomorrow had better be better than today.

I said no for the last. I'm not sure it was right but let me elaborate. Tasks were divided along gender lines for my parents by virtue of my mom did what she wanted to do because she thought my dad would probably f it up if he did it, and my dad did whatever my mom told him to do! Usually dad did take out the trash, do yardwork, scrub the pots and pans, and clean the floors. Mom did laundry, general dusting/tidying, and regular dishes, and cooking. I can still hear her yelling "DAN! do the pots! they aren't going to do themselves!" "Yes dear."
