So I'm just trying to see something. Do you feel that you and your partner share kind of like equal responsibilities between like your housework or like bills or maybe taking care of the kids or Maybe not even necessarily equal, but do you think it's fair like the responsibilities are shared fairly For example like my boyfriend obviously goes to work and he works a ton and I'm a stay-at-home mom and we're so grateful that we're able to do that. But at the same time, he kind of just comes home and just, oh, he wants to relax right away. It's like, I don't get a chance to really relax until way after the kids are in bed. And I get up really early and even get up in the middle of the night, or you know what I mean? I feel like it's not all the time fair. And then if something needs to get done right away, I feel like I'm the type of person to just get it done, you know We're we were looking for a place so I initiated that like sense of okay Let's start looking into places for rent or maybe a house to buy and I started contacting people right away And I started sending emails out like I'm the person to just take initiative and And my boyfriend is just not like that. But anyway, what's it like in your relationship? Let me know.

My partner works out of town right now. He's about five and a half hours away and he's been gone since January, mid-January. So no, when he drives down sometimes, when he was only four hours away, he would drive down sometimes and I did not change a diaper. I did not chase a toddler. I didn't do anything and I I still feel like it wasn't enough.

OK luckily I feel like mines really 50-50 my partner super great he works every day and he still comes home and cleans up does the dishes for me how to cook if I need to or just watch the kids every day he plays with the kids takes him outside when he gets home and yeah he pays the rent he pays most things because I stay home right now and I'm on my leave but when I go back to work it's pretty pretty evenly split up so everything's pretty much fair

So I'm also a stay at home mom and I'm very grateful that we're able to do that but like with that obviously comes with like financial budgeting but aside from all of that I feel like we do affair share now but when I first became a mom and we were in like the newborn stages and stuff I would say that he didn't really understand what like the fair share that he had to pool and we had to have like a really hard conversation and after that it's when he was

After that conversation I felt like he was able to realize that like just because he's working that doesn't mean that he gets to come home and not do anything or not help around the house because it's like I basically said that it was I'm gonna be so honest obviously told him it's unattractive that he wants me to do things around the house for him as if I was his mother when we are partners so after like making it clear that I see him as a partner and I don't want to feel like his mother I think it whipped him into understanding

But that conversation happened a few years ago and it was like a flip of a switch after that and now he it rather than like asking me like what he can get done he just has like a set of chores and it's like oh if this wasn't done during the day or fighting get around to this this has to be done kind of thing and he just like kinda gets home and he's like oh what did you do today what can I do and so it's helpful now but we did have to go through a hard conversation before I got to this point

I would say yes. Sometimes it depends. My husband has been working a lot. They've been doing a lot of overtime in the morning and at night and then I'm home with the kids all day and I do work from home and sometimes he gets home late but then he also does side jobs too. So sometimes I feel like it is because I know he works so hard but then the times when he doesn't have that and it's slow, sometimes I feel like it's not if that makes sense, but most of the time, yes.

I think that we try to make things equal as possible but I think in some instances it just never will be completely equal I'm a stay at home mom trying to do like side hustles on the side and my husband works full-time and sometimes he hast to bring work home to but I I think we try to

I think we do a good job at trying to share things equally I think that IA He sometimes comes home and just relaxes and I feel like you know I need that too and so I try to you know let him know that sometimes I need that time too and we make it work where we both equally have time to relax just may be like not always

Not always like when I want to relax or not always when he wants to relax. Sometimes it's not always going to work that way. But you know, I think talking to your boyfriend about how you're feeling is important to just to be like, you know, I need a little bit of a long time too.

Honestly the kind of responsibilities the mom has the fathers don't even come close to that because 24 seven she is with them she is handling all the diapers the food so these are the things that daddy doesn't do most of the time so I don't think it's a fear division because most of the things in every household mom is doing

No, it's definitely not equal. I do most of the care for my daughter, the house, I work a job. And I think it's always been that way. So I hope the younger generation, you know, you don't allow that to happen. them help.

So one thing my partner has always done is like make sure that I am not like just getting bombarded with so many chores and being overwhelmed With so much to do so even when he comes home from work if I need help with dinner He'll help if I need help with laundry or dishes like he will help and that's one thing I love.
