Re: The work is shared between myself and my wife (with the exception of parenting)

Parenting is one rock upon which sexual equality often flounders.  A couple
shares the work more or less evenly until a child is born, and then the wife
discovers that the child is *her* responsibility.

This is not a criticism of anyone's marriage; there is nothing inherently
wrong with a division of labor in which the husband does one thing and the
wife does another.  The important thing is that the division of labor be one
that both partners are comfortable with rather than one decided upon because
"that's the way it's done."
