LOL- maybe that's why women lose weight so slowly on Atkins. We're too stressed doing all the work!

Well, not exactly. When I lost the 50 lbs. last year I prepared 5 out of 6 of the daily meals/snacks and even then did 50% of the family dinners.

And, during the school year, I do more than 50% of the housework and childcare. I do ALL of the maintenance (we contract out the big stuff) and yard work.

Yer a good guy, Corin... and in the future you may be adding "homeschool dad" to the list... a good role model for your sons!

My mom does the housework and cooking and that sort of thing, but that's her job. Dad does things like re-hanging doors. This week he's been building a wall in the front yard where we had a railroad-tie wall, but the ties rotted. But he doesn't do housework.
