Becoming a parent is overwhelming in many ways. But, one of the glaringly obvious ones is the heightened responsibility.
New parents often quarrel over who will feed the baby at four o'clock in the morning or change the next diaper. But, there's a simple solution to resolve these tiffs — the Wheel of Responsibility.
Pin this piece of cardboard up in your house and the next time junior has a soiled nappy, let the wheel decide who is going to change it! Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

That just kinda makes me sad. You both do what needs to be done, you don't bicker over details.
Although feeding is never an argument here since he can't produce milk. *lol*
1yeah right, not my house. You do your part or else. We made the babies together, we do the work together.
2In 10 months, we've never had any sort of spat over who will do what and when. In the first months, we'd just take turns getting up to feed him at night, and now the diaper duties belong to the person closest when we start to smell it. He'll give him dinner, and I'll do the bath, or vice versa, etc., etc., etc. It's all very equal and easy. Really, it's never been even the remotest issue - we're just two parents raising our kid together. I understand that having a new one around is totally exhausting and can be stressful, but I'd hope no one would need such a wheel for anything other than a few good laughs.
3its really simple take turns if he doesnt want to help he can hit the curb
4It's sad but sometime..you do just have to take turns...one can get overwhelmed after so long.
5Who said it was sad to take turns? It's imperative to take turns. That's why I think a chart is sad - if I had to argue with my husband or use a wheel to determine duties, I'd kick him out and raise my kid alone.
