Oh - I know you weren't telling me to literally say fcuk off - it was just funny to me that not only do I not say it in behaviors but I don't say it in words either. Yes - I DO see the Ying/Yang imbalance that you are speaking of. My participation in my household has become not unlike the traditional guy - assist with the childcare, assist with the household upkeep and the meals. I, of course, do most of the cleaning, almost all the grocery shopping, all the cooking for family occasions and such but an awful lot of the day to day falls to him. I DO see that restoring the balance might help. I would say that further developing my masculine isn't gonna happen - I do so much of that at work that I can't see doing it at home too. The funny part is that I was a SAHM for YEARS and I'm good at all that Mom stuff, wife stuff, girly stuff and I can do it without feeling minimized by it.
