She told me that I am "lucky to have a husband like DH"; i.e. one who pulls his weight wrt to childcare and housework (I work FT; he works PT and looks after the kids - his choice). It's not the sentiment that I take issue with, it's the notion that it's only down to something as arbitrary as luck that a man might do 50% of the 'work'.
It's a trivial point made by someone of a different generation and I'm being pedantic about the choice of words but it did make me wonder whether I take DH for granted.
