[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP will you post your chart?  I think it's a good idea.[/quote]

Thanks! I don't think I feel comfortable posting it as it is b/c it's fairly personal, and I doubt I will prioritize editing it to make it more generic for DCUM use. But feel free to steal the idea and publish a best-selling book about it. :) [/quote]

The only book a 150-item chore chart for your spouse will be appearing in is "My Wife: The Most Controlling Nag on Planet Earth" by Husband OP. [/quote]

It hurts to see it spelled out in objective terms what a failure you are as a partner, doesn't it?[/quote]

Not at all, because I'm not a failure. In my house we have a pretty equal division of labor but no one blows a gasket when we have to pick up the slack for the other. I appreciate the things my partner DOES do. I guess I just picked a better man than you. :D[/quote]

If you feel you have a fair division of labor who cares? Your defensiveness suggests that in fact you don't have a fair division but you don't feel empowered to demand it. [/quote]

+1. If something isn't done, we help each other or have a discussion like adults.  No blowing any gaskets.  Are you not able to stand up for yourself and hold your husband to an agreement that he voluntarily entered?  Maybe you should work on that, rather than denigrating those of us who have successful marriages in which the chores are handled fairly and in an organized way.[/quote]
