TEXT TOPIC: Do you and your spouse argue over chores?

me and my hubby use to fight over the house. We have now figured it out for the most part. He felt he couldn't do it as I'm ocd with how I do things. So I've adjusted my thinking and he has too. He now helps more and we both make sure to appreciate what each of us does. I also have a checklist for what needs to be done so he doesn't have to ask me haha but it took 6 years

The book "The 80/80 Marriage" is a great book for couples to read if they are struggling with chores and fairness

My husband does no housework, unless we have people coming over, he'll help me. He has my son, that lives with us, take care of all of the yardwork. Or I do the yard work, because he works nights in the summer.

I work full-time and also do 100% of the chores around the house because my wife is 34 weeks pregnant and is a high-risk pregnancy. I’m not complaining but just needed someone to vent to

my husband works from home and I go into work every day. We definitely disagree on chores! I feel that he should be able to do a few things while he is working from home like put dishes in the dishwasher while he has his lunch hour or switch load of laundry. He feels that he is at work just like I am. The result is when I walk through the door I start my second shift of doing all the chores

My wife does very little in terms of chores. I have done the majority of the dishes taking care of the cats sweeping and cleaning the apartment and she stays home while I work during the week. I'm pretty close to calling it quits.

I do all the inside of the house (3 floors) he does all the outside I think it's unfair and we have fought about it, but never changes

I do all the cleaning. The only chore he has is dishes (not the kitchen just the dishes) and that still doesn't get done

definitely lopsided chores. We've fought many times. I don't even know what to do about it because we both work time. It's exhausting.

I (wife) does the majority, he does help with dinner and dishes but if things aren't done to his standard he'll have a freak out and organize/throw away everything so I just sit back and let him figure his shit out

definitely lopsided chores. We've fought many times. I don't even know what to do about it because we both work time. It's exhausting.

I have started saying I am just the cook and the maid. I work full time, pay all the bills do all the cooking and cleaning. I am sick of the fight. He has been a stay at home dad and it is killing me.
