We both buy and change diapers. But mom buys the clothes and shoes, oh the shoes.

Same situation as you, only I'm the primary wage earner wife. My husband has the habit of letting me know that we're out of something right before he needs said something.

When my husband went to Sam's with my MIL, I asked him to pick up diapers. He had no idea what kind we used - I had to tell him what color box and what size to get.

But, I really don't mind too much. I do nearly all of the household shopping anyway. (And we generally order diapers online.)

im at home all day with the kids and when we run out of diapers, i AIM my husband to buy some on his way home. It seems a lot easier for him to do it on his way home alone than me with three kids. We usually plan ahead though when we're at the grocery store so it's usually covered.

My husband and I both know the right size diaper for our kids, and we both buy them. He also knows their clothing and shoe sizes, how to bathe them, etc. I am the one who is home with them, and he goes to work. Still, he is very much interested in all of these details about his kids. The only thing he doesn't do is cook, so I do have to leave food and instructions for him if I'm going to be away.

What I don't get: if the baby was there, why not just look at the back of the diaper? The size typically is printed on the back in a large font. :)

Same here. My husband has no idea about the following: diaper size, clothing size, shoe size, weight. He also needs my help to pack my son's overnight bag. He doesn't know where things are or exactly what my son needs. It's just something most guys are not very interested in, but women are very aware of and concerned about. Call it sexism, call it nature, but that's how it is.

That would be me, the mom.
