Summary

It's a bit unfair. I'm juggling the kids, doing laundry, cooking, cleaning, bills, and still managing to find time for you. You are even upset that I don’t sit down and watch the football games with you!

Comments:

Couples must participate equally. Otherwise, hostility builds up between the spouse who does nothing and the one who bears all the responsibilities.

Her responsibilities:

Work in a professional career

Kids

Deliver and pick up kids to school

Do the laundry

Cook meals for the family, clean up

Do the dishes

Put them away

Clean the house

Pay bills

Personal time with kids

Personal time with husband

His responsibilities:

Work in a professional career

Come home and sit in front of the TV.

Complain that the wife does not spend more time with him.

It's all in good humor, but it does make you wonder. Is this a fair division of labor?
