I'm new here and browsing around. Title caught my eye and I just had to laugh....
I don't clean up vomit or kill bugs, either. However, almost everything else falls on me! I handle our finances, pay the bills, hire contractors, clean the house, do the laundry, schedule the kids' activities, birthday parties, playdates, doctors and dentists appointments, orthodontist, specialists, etc. I buy gifts for birthdays (including his parents) and holidays. I grocery shop - actually, all the shopping (we have a Target 5 minutes from our house - DH has been there twice). I take all of the pictures and videos. I put together their halloween costumes, make sure they do their homework, feed them 3 meals a day, clean up after dinner, load and empty the dishwasher. I make sure they shower and brush their hair and teeth.
I buy their clothes, and do all of the shifting of the bins when the seasons change. DH does take out the garbage and recycling, as long as I remind him. If I'm out of commission for even a day, my house looks like a tornado hit.
I love my DH very much - we've been together for 20 years - but sometimes it's tough being the woman.
This is us, except for one thing. First off, I'm the husband/Dad. What is different is,
I am the one who doesn't do the vomit. I am the one that does the bug killing though. My wife would list everything in the quote. And Wifey would be sure to bring it to my attention quite often. What do I do? Hmm, let's see... Yeah, I take out the garbage. According to Wifey though, that would be it, along with the bug thing (and maybe the dog mess outside if she thinks of it.)
What do I get to do that's fun? According to Wifey, I get to leave every day!!!! Oh, what great fun!!!! It's so much fun to have to get up at 4:30 in the morning every morning after getting about 4 hours sleep, leaving your family until around 5-6 pm, but I use to come home to a fresh cooked meal. After rushing through that great meal, jump under the car to pull the AIC valve out, which needs me to break my arm in 4 places to thread it up through the 200,000 mile filthy grimey engine to reach the bolts, then reinsulate the house, reinsulate the attic. What? While I have all the siding off the house, you want me to strip all the paint off the cedar boards and stain them? Whoops, the car broke down again, gotta fix that. Did you play with the dog today honey? No, I've got to do that while I am working on the house (yellow Lab, needs to RUN for at least an hour or she annoys everyone pacing around the house.) While I'm under the car, I hear, "Oh, by the way, the mower broke too. Can you look at that?"
So, I'm outside
working in the yard/on the house/on the car until midnight, come inside and what is my wife doing? She's in bed sleeping! Been sleeping since about 10:00. It's now midnight. I go to bed and the alarm wakes me up at 4:30 again to start my "fun" day away from the house. I get up, turn the alarm off, mumble and grumble a little about only getting 4-4.5 hours of sleep again, look at the time and think, "Boy, she has it rough. She only has 5 more hours to sleep..."
The next day, after going to my "fun" work on my 4 hours of sleep, I come home to find that Wifey didn't do much. Why didn't she do much this day? Because she was tired!
"Oh, and could you look at the dryer dear? I put a load in yesterday and it wasn't working. I forgot to tell you about it yesterday. I'm so tired now, I'm heading to bed early...." Yup, I'll get to that dryer as soon as I take the dog out for a run, work on the house, finish working on the mower, get the oil changed in the car, and take the garbage out. Oh, and sure, I'll clean up the dishes because I understand how you can be so tired only getting 11 hours of sleep last night..... I only hope I can get this all done by midnight so I can get my 4 hours....
In reality, or current reality as the above use to be what it was, both kids are now in school and she got herself a job in the evenings (which is why I am now looking at a Disney vacation and signed up here yesterday
) Now she is truely tired as I remember what it was like working until late, 11 pm'ish. You can't come home and go directly to sleep because you are wired up from working, so she is up until 1-2 am and has to get up by 6:30 to get the kids ready for school. She still does all the cleaning and I do most of the laundry. Kids are split up daytime with her and evenings with me. Cooking is split up where she starts it and I finish, or if there's time, I plan something on the new grill (thanks to her working again.) Bad part is, we only see each other as well as my older daughter sees her about 15 minutes during our little family "shift relief" time. Little one is only in half-day kindergarten, so Wifey can't do the daylight job thing yet.
We'll see each other for 6 straight days in 2010 in Orlando. By the time we are done with that, we'll be glad to get back to our 15 minutes a day, hehehehe
Alright, that was just a joke....
And PS, this is all in fun. My wife is a wonderful woman and I couldn't ask for anyone better to be the mother of our children. The kids are #1 priority which is why we fell so far in debt because she stayed home and took care of the kids. Now that they are less dependent on Mom, she is working to catch us back up and BINGO! We are going to Disney for our first family vacation next year!!!!
there is a safe haven on this very board for someone like you.

I'm known as a smart butt by my wife, so she knows just what I mean when at the end of a long day dealing with kids and everyday life I say: If I didn't love you so much, I'd leave.
It pretty much somes up so many things.
He cleans up bugs, kills spiders for me, does yard work and yes, he even cleans up vomit....and my kids aren't his by blood, only by choice. 
..But seriously, we both do our share.It doesn't bother either of us.My dog once partially killed a baby rabbit and brought its still writhing body into the house...DJ was at work, and I had to clean that up ..i was a wreck for weeks after that one.
