Dads who get involved in domesticity have more sex (with their wives!) than men who don’t. Can’t remember where I read it, sure it was a bona fide psychology journal on parenting and what facilitates good fammilial relations but am convinced it’s true even if just from my own experiences. Can you imagine my delight when, with two children off with the fairies mid Sunday afternoon a couple of weeks ago, husband is to be found making the bed with fresh, crisp white bed line. WITHOUT BEING ASKED. I went gooey in the middle and almost melted. Am I wrong? Sad? Too easily pleased? Well, of course you know what happened next with all that good feeling oozing out of me.
How have you renegotiated domestic affirs since going back to work? Who does what and how does it work? Is your partner supportive on the domestic front?
