[quote=Anonymous]DH and I do not have the same "urgency meter" when it comes to household projects. When we were engaged we negotiated routine household chores and wrote them into our bar napkin prenup (which we consider binding :) ). He cooks, I do laundry, he does taxes, I do all vet appointments, we each take care of our own cars and we both clean, etc. We added kid related things later. For other things like planning vacations, home repairs, etc., I make a list of all of them (not his or mine, just a list) and then I put it in front of him so he can pick his. I pick mine and for any left over, we hire someone to do (usually repairs). Then I say, okay, you have 4 weeks to complete your list and anything undone at that point gets done by a contractor. Saving money for things he knows he can do is his motivation, not my nagging. Works well for us.[/quote]
