I hope you ladies are half joking about the 24/7 WAHM thing. Shared responsibility doesn't "just happen" - kids (and spouses) need to be trained to help out and understand that you can't do it all, all the time. TOo often womenplace this burden all on themselves and part of it is that no one else can do their job right (after all - it's job security) and the others in the household feel that and don't even try. Set some jobs out for others to do - and accept how they do them. I speak from 23 years of marriage experience whre I was a WAHM mother fo the first 20 years - until I had to go to work full time for a variety of reasons. I was glad to have the help, but things still started to slip and I was expected to pick up the slack. After a bit of self browbeating, I realized I needed to ask for help and then expect it as well.
