Reply #53: But you don't, really

I think that's a convenient out for most men.

My dh is perfectly capable of managing more than one task or thought at the same time. He's able to be responsible for seeing that something needs doing, and doing it. In many ways, he's more particular than I am about much of the housekeeping.

I'm home more than he is, so I do a bit more of that. One of us needs to be working full time for us to get by, and his profession pays significantly more than mine does, so it makes sense.

But don't sell yourselves short - it's really about a mind-set, not about how you're actually wired.
