Making lists is something I find very satisfying, though I don't tend to be an overly organized person. But maybe that's why this article made some sense to me. I really like the idea of itemizing every single thing that I do as a stay-at-home mom. I get a lot of help and the roles in this family are definitely not typical (my husband does what a LOT of husbands don't), but a lot of what she said still rings true. I don't think a list, or agreement, as she mentions, would really solve a lot of problems, but I think for me it might just help to clarify what I'm dealing with and help me to make sense of the life I now have and will have for the foreseeable future (with baby 3 on the way). It's not what I expected, and I think that's a big part of what makes it hard. Perhaps understanding just exactly what it is that I do all day would help me (and maybe my husband) understand how I feel about it...
