When at home, take care of the baby as much as possible.
My friend, who recently had a baby daughter, Hide-kun,
told us about the division of roles with his wife.

On weekends, we go to the supermarket together as a family. We buy a week's worth of groceries and things like that have run out.
The supermarket should be crowded (because it's a weekend)…
I also go to the supermarket and buy everything on weekends!
Shopping as a happy family! Nice!
My wife makes us food. On this day, she's making a root vegetable hamburg steak, with fish teriyaki and a salad. She thinks of a healthy, nutritiously balanced meal for us every day.
I love hamburg steak!
Please teach me an easy recipe that has a good nutritional balance!
If it was me, it would be either the root vegetable hamburg steak or the fish teriyaki! Extravagant!

Since my daughter became 5 months old, we read picture books to her every day. The time I can spend with my daughter every day is limited, so it's very important to me.
Recently, we went on a shrine visit near my wife's parent's house. We wished for our daughter to be raised happily and healthily.
I went on a shrine visit when my daughter was born too. Nostalgic～!
We spent August 26th, 2013 like this!

I live with my wife and daughter of 5 months. My wife doesn't have a job, so she does the cooking, cleaning, washing, and other things around the house for us. When we got married, my wife was working and was very busy, so I also did some of the cooking, cleaning, and even the ironing. My wife likes cooking and cleaning, so even if I did things, they're different than the way she does things, and so she always bothered by it. Now, the household chores are my wife's role.
When I'm at work, my wife does all the housework and watches our child, so when I'm at home, I try to take care of the baby as much as possible. Changing diapers, changing clothes, playing...
When my daughter gets a little bigger and no longer needs to be breast-fed, I want to make some time for my wife to relax on her own. It's because every day, she's doing the housework and taking care of our daughter. I'm excited just thinking about a date with just me and my daughter.

There are still many women who think that housework is their job…

For me, if he is willing to do it for me, I'll ask him to…

My husband does the cooking and laundry, and sometimes the cleaning too. He is better at making pasta than I am!

No matter the result, don't complain about it!!
