[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I’m happy. We’ve divided up “zones.”

His zones:
Food (meal planning, grocery ordering, cooking)
School (communication, putting events on the shared calendar, volunteering)
Finances
Church (registering for Sunday school, volunteering)
Potty training
Extracurriculars
Trash
Date night planning/babysitters

My zones:
Laundry
Kids clothes (buying, tracking what’s outgrown, organizing hand me downs)
Buying stuff we need and keeping the house stocked (water bottles, school supplies, baby gear, toys, furniture, garbage bags, paper towels, etc)
Household maintenance and repairmen
School lottery and research
Nanny
Summer camps
Kids chores (management, assignment, teaching)
Parenting research/problem solving

Shared:
Childcare 
Cleaning

I’m sure there are some zones I’m forgetting, but that’s the jist. We trust each other to handle our stuff. [b]We also both work similar hours, with similar stress and similar incomes.[/b] We’re very happy together and very happy with our chore balance. [/quote]

You sound lot like me, PP, and I swear I think it's one of the reasons our marriages are so happy. I find that the bigger the disparity in all things (income, hours, chores, etc.), the bigger the problems. [/quote]
