a stay at home parent is by default going to be responsible for "most" of the childcare. However, I think it's only fair that when the other parent gets home from their job that they sort of take over and spend some time with their child who they've missed out on all day. Parenting is exhausting, and anyone would need a break after doing it alone all day. In my opinion, housework should always be split as close to 50/50 as possible for equality's sake; after all, you both live in the space, so you both need to be contributing to keeping it clean. That said, energy levels are always in a state of flux, and sometimes one partner might need to pick up thee slack if the other partner needs some extra rest. this is especially true in households where one or both partners have any sort of mental or physical illness. it's all about supporting one another.
