[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He seems to be doing 80% of a lot.  I’d be curious how much you’re actually doing. [/quote]

I can help you with the math, since you seem to be a DH who is struggling to get complete credit on this math problem.

Let x=a lot. If DH is doing 80% of a lot (assuming chores are split equally and not already in DH's favor, which is what time-use studies show), and DW does 100% of a lot plus DH's remaining share, then DH is doing .8x and DW is doing 1.2x.

So if x=20 hours/week, then DH is doing 16 hours worth of chores/week.

So to answer your question, DW is doing 24 hours worth of chores/week. Or 8 hours more than DH per week.

The poster was clearly wondering what specific tasks make up OP’s “a lot” and what tasks are included in her DH’s “a lot”.

Guarantee if she wrote it all out honestly she’s not doing nearly as much as she thinks she is.  (Unless spending mental energy and time complaining about and criticizing her partner to strangers is some sort of necessary task?)[/quote]
