Is is wrong of me to think of my relationship as a business partnership?

As much as I love being in the relationship that I am in, I can't help but wonder if I think of it too much as a job/business that I run. More often than not I feel as though I am more like an operations manager than a mother/wife. I have started up and ran two small businesses in my life time. And the similarities between running a small business and running a household are cunning. My hours are always the longest of all the employees (first in,last out), if there is a problem with even the smallest thing I am the first one to call. When dealing with the children, I look at them lovingly as my part time employees. My oldest son is very close to be putting in "full-time" hours. Only because as he gets older he will have more responsibilities. Right now he is in charge of garbage duty and cleaning the bathroom as well as his bedroom. But as he gets older more chores will be added depending on his school and after school activities. My infants is extreme part time, his only job is to eat, sleep and poop. And fit in as much smiling, cooing, chuckling and rolling on the floor as possible while keeping crying to a minimum. To which I attest he is excellent at all of the above only crying when hungry. Now my hubby his job is to work outside as an independant contractor. He is in charge of working outside of the home/business to ensure proper care is given to us inhouse employees. While I wear the hats of the accountant, the major cleaning crew, the laundress, the chef, personal nutritionist, personal shopper, and general maintanence crew. Our family life/business life is run smoothly. As long as everyone remembers what their jobs are and works for the love of it not for the need of it. Do you feel the same?
