[quote=Anonymous]As another perspective, I am the maid. I do 100% of the cleaning and laundry. I also make 48% of the income. But I'm okay with it and have accepted it. Whereas OP isn't happy, that's the difference.

DH is exceptionally busy and is the busiest person I've ever met. There's always been a reason he can't do his part of chores. When we first got married, he worked 60 hours a week and went to night school to get his masters, then his PhD. Then we bought a fixer upper and he gutted and renovated it completely ourselves (he has more skill than me at that, so I'm stuck scrubbing bathrooms while he muds drywall). Now he works long hours at work and travels Monday -Thurs. So when he's home I want to enjoy our time together with our kids. We're both grateful for my easy job and 5 minute commute that pays as well as his job. He's really grateful and thankful every time I do laundry, dishes, mop floors, scrub bathrooms, etc. We have a happy marriage. Also, my DH isn't lazy.

My point is- it's about being happy and thinking you're an equal partner in a marriage, not so much doing exactly 50% of chores. Mindset. [/quote]
