I've removed myself from other threads where the other side was doing something of the kind. Voting with your feet is always an option.

Probably happened in one of those threads I left, not sure. IAC, I don't remember that one.

I agree with what it says. There was a time when I was a nasty workaholic, and my being away from home so much wasn't appreciated. Ever since I've cured myself it's all much better. And telecommuting makes it almost perfect - I'm at hand at all times, be it to help with homework, or just to take the garbage out, or to find that one more cable that's needed for something.

Actually, I have an opposite problem - she won't let me iron the clothes because I'm pobably getting too involved :). As for the dishes, I pretty much stopped doing that when I developed a rash on my fingers, which lasted for years. Now that it's gone, I sneak in sometimes and fight the few nasty pans she doesn't have patience for. But, unfortunately, she has more time than I do.

When our kids were of that age, I've done my share of diapers - and we weren't using the discardables, we washed them cotton thingies. My wife is also a doctor (an MD) - are we colleagues-in-law? :)
