I did laugh at this — it’s a helpful strategy for your career if you’d by default be doing more than half, and anti-helpful if not!
I could imagine benefits to overall productivity across the couple by allocating to whoever can most spare the time. When our childcare falls through, my husband and I work out who will handle what based on the timing of our meetings, who’s done more lately, etc, rather than it defaulting to the mother.
