Juneau, Alaska

It's the mom of the family who plans the vacations and kids schedules more.
And yes, even in families where both parents work!
Even when I worked crazy hours at Goldman Sachs, I was still the one using my
spare time to research vacations etc. between the two of us.
My husband is a great dad - he would pick up and drop off at day care, get up
middle of the night, feed etc. But more specific dedicated tasks, not general
organizing. There have been many articles how even in both working parents,
where chores divided up equally, the mental load of organizing what needs to
be done still often lies on the mom.
That said, we live 6 hr flight away from my parents and 12 hrs flight away
from his. We try to visit both once a year (mine sometimes twice), but mine
also come to visit us more often. Only during childbirth - I only wanted my
mom and sister there (not even my dad, and definitely no in laws). But we
welcomed them couple of months later :-). Everyday adds up eg I make it a
point to call on Skype my family with my little sons every Saturday morning.
While my husband Skypes with kids and his family ~ once a month. They are more
structured - almost an appointment to call them. So maybe part of my close
relationship to mine vs slightly distant relationship of him to his parents is
the reason. It should be the son organizing his family, not the daughter in
law. No gatekeeping here, just sparsity of time: full time work, toddler and
infant in ""free time"" and occasionally sleep haha

Also, how many of the ""good"" values we live by, such as democracy,
pluralism, the rule of law, etc., have we successfully exported to other
countries, countries that we exploit, through the overwhelming use of military
force, for our own material comfort?
