Running a household with kids (mine are the same age spread as yours) is a full time job in and of itself. There’s no way I could reasonably expect to come home to a perfectly clean house, clean kids, folded laundry, and a cooked meal, that’s like a 12 hour work day right there.

This is still a very very new idea. I'm glad to hear that you think this way! Men are still slowly getting towards this. Think of how much you help around the house compared to your dad?
