Really excellent. And it's not really submissive. It's just realizing that you don't need to be the boss of him.
That's where the real breakthrough was if you really look at it is she realized she didn't need to be the boss of him and she could actually let him do things on his own time and they would be done in a time. That was acceptable even if it wasn't exactly when she would do it.
Personally if somebody tells me to do something I'm a lot less likely to like doing it than if they don't.
I think that's fair. I'm up at 5:30 every weekday morning in order to be at work at 7. My wife is usually still asleep with the baby by the time I leave. I do sleep in on weekends, but that usually means like 8 am.

I'm really just trying to understand what was said that is offensive.
Greeted at the door is nonsense. Figure out how to offload shit tasks from each other doesn't seem awful. Let her do her thing, and I do my thing when it comes to packing for travel is something we already do. She knows I pack the vehicle, she says which bag needs to be easily accessable or not.
nothing offensive was said and your explanation is normal. the wife notices and she does whatever it takes to make the load easier. What you are saying is not submissive behavior. submissive is drop everything at once only him obsess about him only for him get everything done around him without him being bothered. Him him him him him. It doesn't work in the real world which is why every lady I know to do it or do the 50/50 angle end up getting divorced.
I only know 3 women who have been married to their spouses forever. they literally do their own thing and don't do a thing mentioned in these articles.
What do you find confusing? That women might object to being forced to submit to someone else’s will as much as you? Or that I object to an article that tries to pretend submission is something other than it is?
She doesn't need to be submissive, she just needs to agree that I'm always right most of the time.
* well, except for floor tile choices, paint, curtains, carpet vs. hardwood, the color of shirt I wear, how I address her sister and not call her a fucking bitchfaced cunt to her face, healthy vs. good food(they aren't the same, who knew?) and maybe one or two other things but that's definitely it.

Life is better when someone gets Saturday to sleep in, then the other gets Sunday to sleep in.
Doesn't matter if it's the weekend, young kids will always be up. Middle likes to be up by 5:30.

Whoever is up is the designated caretaker. Breakfast, play, generally easy mornings happen when only one parent is present.

Kids are loud, obnoxious and can't follow instructions well until they're 7-9. If they aren't, something is wrong.

You have a big project - would "how could I help?" not be useful?
My wife and I have our days on the weekend where one sleeps in and the other deals with the feral progeny however early they wake up.

Funny, since getting married, we've lived in six states. Had I stayed single, I would have stayed in my home state.
