Sandi - She doesn't go to the basement until the kids are in bed. But yes, there is usually some housework still to be done when she heads down there, normally not much.
Yes you are correct, we don't see each other much during the day. We work in adjacent buildings and have meetings we both have to attend, on average one per day. Lately, we have added the gym two or three times per week at lunch. I don't disagree at all with the spoiled brat comment. It was never like this before...this is all since the WAW and EA hit.
Cooking/cleaning has become a shared responsibility once again. For the longest time it wasn't. But I have stopped that with putting my foot down. I'd say it is pretty close to 50/50. Sometimes she cooks, sometimes I do, and sometimes like on Friday last week, we did it together...
