Every couple divides chores as make most sense for them. Wonder Boy and I have a straightforward division of labor.
Me: laundry and straightening up
Him: grocery shopping and floors
We both share gardening / wedding duties and I’ve been trying to help more with the cats (litter, water, etc.). The floors is a cruddy job for Wonder Boy to get the reality is I just don’t care about dirty floors. I could notice the floors were dirty, though I probably wouldn’t, and just move on. Clean them? That’s about as likely to happen as me dusting.
The main trade-off that makes our chore divisions so perfect is laundry and grocery shopping divide. Wonder Boy is fine at doing laundry but he stretches it out over forever whereas I get it done in one day. I hate* grocery shopping – hate, hate, hate it – and Wonder Boy isn’t too bothered by it. Perfect.
Today I stumbled across this video that made me think that someday grocery shopping could be in my realm of possibilities.
