Excellent decision OLenna, you can't do a worse job than the present incumbent.
I have decided not to tell my Newly gay husband. I've just started doing manly things and hope he'll work it out himself
So I'm not doing any housework because I don't know what needs done and he hasn't told me. And anyway I won't do it to his standard.
I've not done any food shopping this week ( usually have to top up on milk, fruit, salad, fish during the week) because I'm going away on A work trip leaving on Saturday morning.
Of course when I was a woman I would have left at the crack of dawn on Monday morning and come back on Friday night, missing the dinner / drinks with everyone else. But now I'm a man I'm taking the first flight on Saturday morning so I'm not too tired for Monday and I can do some networking on Saturday and Sunday.
Of course I will put on my DM sad face when asked about it and say what a struggle it is for me to be away from the kids for so long. And people will admire my bravery and dedication to supporting my husband and children. And I'll send the kids photos of me dining in the hotel restaurant and of my 5* hotel room so they know how tough it is.
I've also not done any laundry this week because I've not run out of clothes yet and I haven't spotted the two overflowing laundry baskets. As you know, we men are not detail minded. It won't be my problem when DC discover at 8am that they have no clean school uniform.
My plan for when I return home after this trip is to take a logical masculine approach to housework . So I'll stop all food shopping, cooking, cleaning , childcare, taxi driving, child and house organising . Instead I will take the car for its MOT once a year and out the bins out ( if DH tells me which one ).
Then I will really be a man.
