Is this the difference between mom's and dads and I have to accept it?

Hi all

So, I'm a first time mom of a little boy who is 5.5 months and I'm back to work quite soon. I look after the cleaning, ironing, cooking (for us and DS who is weaning) and I find I'm constantly stressed and juggling. My husband on the other hand, doesn't even bring my plate to the dishwasher after we've eaten despite the fact I handed him his plate of dinner! Generally he doesn't even wash up after I've cooked even though we have a 'you cook, I'll clean policy'. He'll look after bins and floors etc but I find I've always more to do, including getting DS ready if we're going somewhere. I hate always feeling like I'm nagging! Is this the reality of the mom and dad world or is he just taking advantage a bit?
