I work outside the home and my wife takes care of everything inside the home. We have two boys. Now, at work, I'll admit to having off days. Days where I give maybe 70%. But I make that up with days where I go above and beyond. I think this is normal for everyone. It balances out. And I think this goes for women in the home as well. You get out of bed and just don't quite feel like picking up the legos for the 100th time that day. Or laundry, or whatever. Normal.

I like letting my wife know if I'm heading home early one day. Just in case she's have one of those "off" days. This gives her time to "kick it in gear" so to speak.

My question is this: Does your husband give you a heads up so that you can have time to perform . Or do you think this is a waste of time or offensive outlook at the situation.
