[quote=Anonymous]Groceries was the easiest for me to give to Dh. I easily make a grocery list on Wunderlist and he buys it. Bonus in that he takes the 1 and 3 year old shopping. I get that making a list is also work but you’d have to make a list for yourself anyways. Dh has gotten so good at it over the years too.

I probably do everything else on your list though. I get a half hour for lunch and I spend it on the internet. I bill pay, shop amazon for needed items, do our taxes, vacation plan, buy all gifts, make all appointments, etc. I enjoy it though and don’t consider it work. Dh does a ton of handyman stuff at home. He’s actually really great at being present and working hard when he’s with us but he can’t do any of the emotional labor type stuff.

My only advise is to learn to enjoy it. My parents made me do dishes nonstop. I hated it. Took an hour every night. I held it against them and was bitter about it. But... when I moved out I realized I loved it. Dishes and laundry are my favorites. I listen to books on tape while I do dishes. Kinda crazy but I think some of the labor of life is a mindset.
