[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Spouse B OP here.  I appreciate many of the comments here.  I'll take some suggestions to heart. I'll also accept that the division of labor is fairly equal.

To address a couple of things though: one,  I'm not the only one complaining. Spouse A thinks they're contributions are significantly outsized.

Also, ironically, Spouse A didn't do all of the laundry last time so one kid doesn't have clean underwear today. Is it the end of the world? No. But it's frustrating if that's one of their big responsibilities and it didn't get done.

Anyway,  even with that,  I'm in a better place on this [/quote]

I have had housekeepers in charge of laundry for many years, and stuff like this still happens.  The most annoying is when they wash the sheets and don’t put them back on the beds and I don’t realize it until I go to put the kids to bed.

I can’t get too annoyed with my housekeeper because that would make me a huge jerk.  But I can definitely imagine getting annoyed with my husband.  
Typing this out, though, it should probably be the opposite, shouldn’t it? [b]We should probably try to treat our spouses at least as well as we would treat an employee or a stranger.[/b]  [/quote]

It was genuinely nice to see this realization at the end.[/quote]
