We tried it for a while.

I was working fulltime outside the home at the time, and he had several weeks off in between contracts. I didn't like it one bit. Control issues, I guess. He does things differently than I do. He's more lenient with the kids, too. He doesn't know my reasons for certain things, like I don't let my youngest kid play over at his friend's house because of certain things that kid's older siblings do to them there. I just like to be the Mom and homemaker. DH gets bored easily, so I came home to the carpets ripped out, the furniture rearranged, and other drastic things done around the house. I'm a planner and need to adjust to "change". He's impulsive, so BAM! He just does things. He moves things in a big way, while I get rid of clutter and organize. We try to balance each other out. His cooking and cleaning skills improved. He also appreciated what I had been doing around the house and with the kids for 12+ years while he worked. Give it a try. You two might like it. Me, not so much.
