So I cringe when I hear “You are lucky he is so hand’s on”, no the expectation is that we are both hand’s on. These aren’t my children, or his children, they are OUR children. My husband is not some fabled mythical creature who is rare to non-existent. He is my PARTNER. We are partners. Everything he does, I’ll do. Everything I do, he’ll do. We have a few things that filter more one-sided based on talent or preference, but there is no “women’s work” or “men’s work” in our household. To those who say, “I’m lucky he’s hand’s on”, I say “There’s no luck involved. I chose him and he chose me and we choose this every day.” There’s give and take in every relationship and Hubby and I decided at the beginning of this thing: that we are partners. So until the partnership is ended, there is no luck, only try.
