[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Basing family/household tasks on income in crazy.
My spouse makes double what I make and while I do more house stuff/kid stuff it’s because I have more free time. I am also more OCD about stuff so honestly it’s actually better for both of us if I do it. 
OP your dinner situation sounds like you need to plan more ahead or just set lower expectations for yourself for now. There are lots of healthy nutritious options out there that might not be a traditional dinner but still work.

Serious question:  have you or anyone else who asserts this kind of naive "equal time for chores" doctrine ever actually prepared objective time and motion type studies of who does what; how long it takes and how much time is spent; and efficiency in completion of tasks/ how long should these tasks be taking ?  And logged this data over say 90 days to get an good sense of the averages over the course of multiple household chores cycles?

The answer is obviously "No." It's b.s.  when you say you're OCD it really means you're very inefficient and waste a lot of time.  You think you should get extra credit because you are an inefficient worker?  Please.[/quote]
