That's great that she can do that Diana, but my question is...should she HAVE to? I mean, isn't it fair if she's working for the husband to pitch in in other areas instead of her having to work and still do so much at home? (Not to say anything bad about your daughter-in-law or son, but just thinking about society in general.)

I guess that I worded it wrong when I said "when needed". My son and his wife started out with twin girls for their first children and my son has been very helpful all the way with the kids (they now have a son too). My husband's family has a father that has been VERY involved with the kids and you can see it now in all of the kids and grandkids. They are people who are VERY involved in raising their children. My son is also very considerate of his wife and helps her out a lot and even the kids are trained to pitch in and help. Before they could come over for gingerbread the other day they had to do some chores before they could come.

I think that my son is an example of his father and that children learn from their parents. If a husband treats his wife well, helps out, and respects his wife, then his sons will learn from his example on how to treat a wife.
