Sorry for the double-posted thread. I tried to post it yesterday, and it didn't show up for 10 minutes, so I posted it again. Now both are in existance. I will quote from the other one, and then delete it.

Well, I guess now I must commit to a vow of celibacy. After all, women don't want to do the dishes, and I am completely unable to! Not to mention...doing homework? Whoa, that's a new concept
Good to hear things are workin out Larry. I've still got a few more years before I worry about the "terrible twos" again.

I'm glad that the problems that can be caused by stress were successfully avoided!

I know Belle lets things get to her every now and then, at which point I tell her to sit back, relax, and do nothing. I've done everything around the house before, and can easily do so again. However, since she doesn't like to sit on her duff and be lazy, we wind up doing the chores together. This, of course, means that everything is done faster and we can have some wonderful down-time.

So, guys, listen to Larry. Nothing will make her happier than to see you putting effort into the relationship, the house, and in taking some of the load off her, even if her load isn't really that big.

Larry!
My wife wasn't quite sure where our laundry was for a couple of years! (I almost always do laundry, she almost always cleans the bathroom).

I usually cook and do the dishes as the time differences in our work seems to have panned out this way. But since I just started a second job and have hardly any time at all, and she suddenly has more free time, she's taken over most of the housework seamlessly. It all boils down to looking after and out for each other - if you both try to make the other's life as easy as possible you defy physics and carry each other along.

Thanks for the post, man!
