During my period of unemployment, I was Mr. Mom. In between job interviews I took the kid to school and picked him up, Cleaned and straightened up the house, washed the dishes, did the laundry, pretty much everything. I didn't mind because. Now, it seems to be my turn to be working and hers to be unemployed. And on the those days when she's home all days, the place looks like a disaster. Like everyone else, I'm working harder for less than the job I had before, so I barely have the energy to help the kid with homework, much less all the chores I see not being done. I feel too timid to bring it up because A) I give her all the credit for working while I was unemployed and B) I don't want to sound sexist. But at the same time, I want to be abler to work at a desk that is not cluttered with food and coffee mugs. How would you handle this?
