That's wonderful. My husband, like your Georges, shares the responsibilities of keeping a home. I hope I've raised my son to be the same way. I know what a gift it is to have someone who understands this.

I grew up with parents who expected us kids to wait hand and foot on them, to do all the work as children that they as adults refused to do. My mother actually told one of her friends – in front of me – that she had daughters so she wouldn't have to do housework.
