Taking Turns

My wife and I seem to take turns being exhausted, and in managing the home front at night. Although I want to “shoulder the burden” of making sure the kitchen is cleaned, the living room is picked up and our children get to bed at a reasonable hour, there are many nights when I seem to be out of gas, and Dena has to continue the hard work in which she’s been engaged all day. Still, when we’re getting enough sleep and have the emotional reserves, I think we are pretty good at taking on the evening responsibilities.

Here’s an article that made me think some couples struggle with this much more than we do. What about your home – who does what during the evening routines?
