[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, early on in our marriage (well before we had a kid), DH treated cleaning and other household tasks as "favors" to me that he would do semi-regularly but he kind of wanted a pat on the head every time.  I was getting frustrated with all the extra work I was doing in comparison to him so we came up with a schedule and decided who would do what.  It really helped and, while we don't have a formal list of who does what now, we've kept up the pattern of each having tasks that are our individual responsibility.

When things get out of whack or a major additional responsibility arrives (like having DD), we revisit and divvy up responsibilities again.  However, I think this worked so well for us because, while a bit oblivious at first, DH did want to pull his weight and we both really want to be fair with each other so no one ends up overwhelmed.  We do kind of the same thing of making sure each parent gets down time sans baby on a regular basis.[/quote]

My experience was similar. Worked well, but probably because DH was open to it.[/quote]
