[quote=Anonymous]I've seen people suggesting this on here. Did this actually help you guys?

I feel like we would be good candidates for this because this issue - who does what around the house and especially with the kids - is the one issue we fight about. We never fight about money, sex, family, parenting styles, etc. If we both had a list of chores we had to do with no overlap - so no cause for the other person to be like "I think you should be doing that" because we already agreed the other person would be taking care of it - it would cut down on a lot of fighting.

Anyway I brought this up to him today and he didn't think it was a good idea. He wants there to be more flexibility but I think the overlap is what is causing the fighting. For instance, today we fought about who should walk our son to the bus. We were both trying to get out the door for work. DH has been doing it all year but apparently thought he was doing it as a favor to ME (WTF it's his kid too) and I thought he knew it was a chore on his "list." If we clarify who does what, I think it will cut down on this type of fighting.[/quote]
