In an attempt to keep myself accountable and hopefully BE BETTER, I am going to keep an ongoing list of all of the things I fail at as a husband. Keep in mind that my wife also works and that i call myself an advocate for equity at work and at home. this is how i FAIL:
"doing the laundry" does not mean just putting clothes in the washer, it means turning a heap of dirty clothes into clean, dry, folded clothes. FAIL
I don& #39;t know where anything is in our home. anything. forget the kids things - i lose all of my things, all the time, and my wife always knows where they are. it isn& #39;t because she has a fantastic memory: it is because I expect her to know those things so I don& #39;t need to. FAIL
doing the dishes& #39; doesn& #39;t mean i can wait until the end of the night and do everything in an epic sudsy kitchen battle with a podcast for 3h.
it means there are no dishes left in the sink during the day, ever, period. If i don& #39;t get to them first, she does them. MEGA FAIL

& #39;cooking dinner& #39; does not mean i get to neglect child care for 2 hours, prepare an elaborate feast of things I love, then leave all of the dishes in my wake. EPIC FAIL
& #39;letting you sleep in& #39; does not count if I spent the entire time & #39;surviving& #39; and none of the kids are fed, clothed, or any of the other 100 things you do by the time you wake up and i immediately retreat for "a break" TREMENDOUS FAIL
ordering out& #39; does not mean i take 2x longer than needed to get the food so i can tweet in the car and then order almost entirely food I like more FAIL
Always opting to take dumb chores over those that require thoughtful decision making (ex: i& #39;ll take out the trash, can you look into life insurance?) is a GIGANTOR FAIL
