Are you telling me that nothing has moved on in the last 50 years - that a man still expects the washing, ironing, vacuuming done all by the woman and a 'meal on the table when he comes in'?

Absolutely not. In today's society where two people work I think this would be unfair and as you say, rather outdated.

However, the simple fact remains that after childcare, OP's only bringing in an additional £1.97 a day.

Lets turn the table around for a second and play devil's advocate. If OP's partner started doing overtime which meant that he would not be around as much to see the kids and only got £1.97 in the process I think OP would be quite rightly pointing out that its not really worth it.

I understand both points of view and to be fair both are valid.
