Do you wish that your husband would help out more around the house, and with raising the kids? It may be that your husband is more than willing to share in the chores, but doesn’t because of the fact that when it comes to the home, you are in complete control.

There is an interesting article in the USA Today about the need for women to let go of controlling the house work.

” Equality is gaining ground at homes across the USA, but the move toward parity leaves some mothers in a quandary; they’re ready to share the workload with their partners, but to do that, they’ll also have to come to terms with the loss of hierarchy at home.

“Women who want to create this sometimes don’t appreciate the level at which they must let go,” says Amy Vachon of Watertown, Mass. She and her husband, Marc, have become the standard-bearers for a philosophy called “equally shared parenting.”

Don’t feel guilty if you are at the park and your child falls, that you let your husband pick him/her up. This probably wont happen overnight, but if you are gradually able to let go and release control, you will see that your husband will pick up the slack and you will feel a lot less stressed.
