[QUOTEI only wish most couples (ie, my own parents) were that responsible and efficient. How were you able to get a job where you can rotate positions between housemaker and provider like that? Most jobs require people to be there every day in several-hour blocks.][/QUOTE]
My husband and I both work full time. I get home around 5:30 and he gets home around 6:30. We literally live for our quiet evenings together at home. We enjoy cooking together, folding laundry, whatever. Most of the housework we do on the weekends - together, unless he has to work and then I clean the house while he's away.
We stay up pretty late - in part because we want to spend a lot of time together at home. That's five or six hours a night - plenty of time for some light housekeeping, some cooking - and errrrrrr, "other" stuff!
