Parallel play! LOL! My DH is a sports nut (tv and fantasy leagues) and a writer, so we both keep busy with our "own" things. He'll just hollar out and let me know that "dinner is in....minutes" while I'm sewing or quilting. He also does the grocery shopping, his laundry and floors--and toilets!---I pointed out when we first set up house together that I don't miss! I do my laundry, all dusting and "deep" cleaning (which I'm behind in both!) and we split outdoor chores. Really, we have both always shared responsibilities even with the kids. And he always likes to see the finished project and is complimentary, usually!
