[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP your problem isn’t egalitarianism.  It’s that you’re bad at communicating and delegating.[/quote]

This. We have an equal marriage and it works. We make about the same $ and have split most of the chores along strengths and preferences. I cook since i do it better and faster. Dh cleans up when i cook and he does all the laundry. Groceries are split but a common list. Yard stuff is split based on specific jobs, i like to garden so order plants and plant and he does clean up and lawn.  We split bedtimes for the kids and spend time with them together and 1-1. DH does most of the after school activities for oldest from research and sign up to taking her. And i do dr appts since my workday is more flexible. We talk a lot about plans and schedules but once someone owns a task they own it and the other one butts out. [/quote]

I doubt that it's that. Men half ass things or just don't do them. Her husband is a grown man. She's shouldn't have to nag him each week to do housework. [/quote]

Way to invent facts to fit your narrative! [/quote]

It’s actually a documented phenomenon, so you are the one inventing facts to fit our narrative. (This is coming from somebody whose husband does more than his fair share of housework. I’m far from bitter)[/quote]
