Carrie's mom is coming up to visit tomorrow, so I took over Shane-duty after eating a quick dinner of leftovers. Carrie proceeded to attack any areas of disorderly muck that she could find for the next couple of hours.
Okay, okay, so cleaning and caring about the presentation of a house is "stereo-typically" female. My wife will hand me the baby to tackle projects for work, conference calls, painting rooms, assembling furniture, disassembling a laptop, you name it! The one thing she won't touch are the cars and electrical problems, so those remain firmly my realm. Anything from IKEA becomes a race to see who gets to put it together (because it's fun like Legos!), but I normally draw the baby duty.
Of course, there are divisions with baby duty as well. Baby baths, for instance. I don't do them. I'm not really sure how that started, but Carrie is the baby-bather. Solid food has been my thing. I was the one pushing that earlier and am usually the one to feed Shane non-bottled foodstuffs now.
Just a little insight into the weirdness that is my family.
It's after 10:00 and I should be sleeping. I have another Back-To-School Night and tutoring tomorrow, so I won't be home until later.
Update from 2012: Guess who is the only baby-bather now, Past Mike? Hint: It's not Carrie! Just a random update as I go back and tag a couple of hundred posts.
