Drowning after 23 years!

[CBK]

We both clean up the house, vacuum, pick up, clean dishes, cook about evenly. We have a housekeeper that comes in every-other-week to really clean the house. We both do garbage and I try and help with laundry but really only do the whites and she does the rest (upon request). She does the plants and flowers, I am in charge of the grass and "heavy" chores. I am very handy coming from a contractor's son... She pays all the bills, I do balance the checkbook. I tried to do the bills, but she is home more and is much better at it. What she complained about was raising the kids, she was there much more than I because of my job. She did say she was getting all the sh!t jobs, that had to do with calling insurance, doctors, etc. So I took that on as needed and made a lot of calls from work. Kept even asking if there were calls I could make as my schedule was much more flexible than hers.
