[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We did this once - it was a good exercise because [b]it showed (to both of us) the little areas that take up lots of time that are taken for granted [/b]by the other party - like reviewing and sorting the mail, feeding and doing the cat litter, grocery shopping, clothes shopping, filling out childrens' forms of all sorts, filling and emptying diswasher, making the food list and thinking about what breakfast/lunch/dinner will be, home maintenance, changing light bulbs, making drs appts, keeping the family calendar, doing bills, etc.  Also if there were chores that the other person was doing that they really hated but their counterpart didn't mind - trading tasks didn't seem so burdensome.[/quote]

Really agree with this.  When DH and I went through a similar exercise, DH realized I was doing more than he realized so he picked up some slack but I also realized he was doing more than I originally thought so I needed to give him more credit.  Sometimes, when things get overwhelming, it can be hard to believe that the other person is really pulling their weight because there is just so much to do.  [/quote]
