It is my responsibility to pick up dh's popsicle sticks....I have come around. I am also offering free seat wiping after he pees as well as cleaning his chin when he spills food on it.
Seriously,

Man...I just need to keep away from all food and beverage when reading posts here.
I think that in general a SAHP is responsible for the day-to-day upkeep of the home as well as caring for the kids who are home with him/her. This of course varies from family to family, but I doubt there are many SAHPs that say "I think it's fine and dandy to be a slave to my spouse." I don't think a SAHP has to walk behind the WOHP with a trash bag picking up wrappers and popsicle sticks and flushing toilets.
Caring for the children and running the household. But running the household can involve a myriad of things and division of labor should be an agreement between the spouses. No one should get out of doing household tasks simply because they woh.

LMAO!
"My dh works overtime every now and then, usually on last minute notice. His flexibility has led to job promotions. He can only do that because I stay home. When he gets comp time he goes on all the the school field trips and other school functions with the kids, sometimes with me somtimes alone, but he *always* goes. People marvel at his ability to take off and be with the kids at school."
Why would he not have flexibility if you worked?
Why would people marvel at that? I take off from work to be with the kids at school and I work fulltime. That just goes with the territory of being at a job longer, you have more time to do things outside of work.
This was a question deliberately discussed between my husband and myself.
So, what is his role in the family if you have 100% responsibility for everything else?
