Hiya I have been reading Mumsnet for a while but havent dared to post as yet.... so here I go.
I have recently read a fair few posts where people are talking about who should do what jobs in the home and complaining that one person does too little or whatever.
I don't get it. I have never sat down with my husband and planned jobs. When he was working full time and I was at home with our brood of children I did the majority of stuff around the house and he did less.
When I went into work he then started doing more around the house and now that we both work full time hours we naturally have adjusted again without discussion and do the same amount around the house.
There are things that will always be my jobs and jobs that are always his. But we are a partnership. We are a team. If something doesnt work then we talk about it and sort it.
I wonder if our background helps.. growing up in farming is after all different to many other ways of life. You have to be part of a team from day one. I wonder whether so many marriages are failing because people are putting their own interests above the interests of the 'team'.
Am I wrong to want to tell people to get a grip?!

AIBU to think that some people have forgotten how to work as a team?
