Bills - me because I stress about money so I would always be asking questions and would drive my spouse crazy

Housework - housekeeper that my spouse arranges for and pays (out of joint account). For in between messes, whoever sees something that needs to be done does it.

Appointments - we each take care of our own health and personal appointments. I take care of vet appointments. That started because I took care of the kids doctors and I just naturally did it. Also I get more leave. I took care of kids’ appointments because I wanted control over decision making and always had more questions so it made sense for me to do it.

Buying gifts - we both take care of this

Holidays - we both take care of this

Food shopping and prep - we both take care of this

Social life - we both take care of this

Trips - mostly me because I always have somewhere I want to go

Laundry - we both do it

Yard work if appropriate - spouse because I never live up to their standards

Car repair - oldest kid who’s a mechanic

Maintaining relationships within family, friends - for family mostly spouse because my parents are dead and we have very regimented gatherings in my family so no planning necessary. For friends we both take care of this[/quote]
