"My dad...a great father never changed a diaper...but my mom had maids..lol "

My hubby's dad never did diapers either. He's a great dad though but in his house there was woman's work and man's work. Babies were not man's work. My hubby's mom though shared those ideas and both were/are happy the way it is. They've been married around 40 yrs now and still hug and hold hands. Now my poor hubby grew up with that being the norm in his house and was in for a real shock when he ended up with little me who is horrible at housework! I'm getting better at it though slowly and do agree that since he works then I should keep up the house and kids. The kids part I've gotten down pat but the cleaning part I'm still working on. He's patient though and realizes that I grew up with a mom who wore the pants in the house and a dad who did most of the housework. He's also waited until he was 31 marry someone to have kids with (his parents did it at 17) so he enjoys every minute of the babystuff and even does diapers occationally. It surprises me considering that his personality is identical to his dad. I can look at his dad and know that's exactly what he'll be like when he gets older. His mom and I get along so well too because we practically married the same man.
