I need that magnet!! I do feel like we lose ourselves as well. I cook and do laundry, but I am not a homemaker by any means. I finally hired some cleaning people this year because I got tired of my H complaining about the mess in the house. But he also complains that I don't take interest in his activities. Hard to see you can't do both. And he wasn't helping. Maybe it depends on the age of the man and what his mother did?

It's hard to be "us" when we are trying to do all of this other stuff around the house. Not enough time in the day.
