[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You split it so everyone is working roughly the same, irrespective of earnings. I say that as the person who’s earned between 90 and 100 percent of the household income for many years. When I’m earning 100 percent of the income, as I am now, I don’t think I should get a pass in any household chores. [/quote]

I am woman who has earned 100% most of the years since having kids. You better believe working all those hours gets me out of many household chores. My DH and children agree.[/quote]

You earning 100% means your husband is a stay at home parent.  Obviously he does the chores in that case, because that’s his job.  This post is talking about two people who BOTH work outside the home for income.  So your situation is completely irrelevant.[/quote]

Read what I responded to before you criticize. I was responding to a poster who said that she earned  100% and she thought she should still do chores.[/quote]

You are responding to me, and I am a "he." I am not saying we split chores equally. I'm saying that we roughly split work so that one of us is not overloaded. That means that even though I do 100% of the work outside of the house, I also pick up whatever work needs to be done at home that gives us roughly even amounts of work (time-wise).[/quote]
