I am literally writing this while my husband is cleaning the house and caring for our toddler during his working hours (he has flexible working so will make them up) so that I can persue a writing career. It's early days but his support is the only reason I can do this (and the only reason I chose to have kids with him). I can't imagine how awful it would be to have a husband who didn't pull his own weight and it makes me furious that so many women still feel they have to put up with it.
