My husband does about 90% of the cleaning. And even though I know he's not taking the couch apart to vacuum under the cushions, and he's not dusting, it is a big help and a load off my mind. An added benefit is that since he cleans the toilets, he realized the benefits of sitting to pee. He also makes our daughter's breakfast and sack-lunch every day. I've been asked why I don't let him cook dinner since he generally has more time on his hands. Frankly, cooking is my relaxation technique. Stirring pots on the stove calms me. It takes a lot to stress me out or raise my blood pressure. My health risk is really my high cholesterol, which I am getting tested this week (it's been a few years because I refuse to get back on medication). Here's hoping your health issues are quickly and effectively remedied! Just the fact that you do get out and run is admirable - and you're right - our loved ones need us! Now let's get our husbands back into the full-time workforce so we can relax a bit. My list of responsibilities reads much like yours, with the exception of “clean the house”.

I went to Mom's mornings the other day and we were talking about how important it is to let our spouses carry some of the childcare/chores load and to LET THEM DO IT THEIR WAY. If dinner gets on the table, who cares how it got there, right? Your health is too important to think otherwise. Yes, yes, you do too much.
