[quote=Anonymous]DH and I manage this well by having each be fully responsible for different activities. He is responsible for all laundry, dishes, setting up and taking DD to medical appointments, taking care of the car, and doing the grocery shopping. I take care of the dog, manage the grocery/shopping list, do the cooking, vacuuming, and mopping. He does daycare pick up, I do drop off. He does the morning and evening walks for the dog, I do the midday walk. We both thrive on routine so this works for us and by having one person assigned as being responsible for a given duty, the other never has to think about it. I don't have to say "honey can you do the dishes" because we both know (and both decided) that he would be responsible for them. When a new set of tasks is introduced (i.e. when we became parents), we sit down and figure out who will be responsible for what. That way no one person is left as being the Executive Director of Household. [/quote]
