Hi Shelli, My husband never does a THING around the house. I too work a full day, but unlike him, I get home and cook supper, bath and feed the children, make sure homework is done, and then settle down in front of my laptop to carry on working.

Hi Shelli, I read your article a few weeks ago on coping with your wife’s pregnancy – thanks for that – nice to know I am not the only whose wife has turned into a complete and utter stranger since falling pregnant (and I mean that in the nicest possible way).
