[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think in a couple with a car, the non-driver (outside of disability) actually is weaponizing incompetence.  Imagine some dude saying "oh I can't cook dinner I might burn the house down" and the wife saying "ah he's got cooking anxiety so it's ok if I have to do all the cooking."

I drive, but that analogy doesn't work for me.  For instance, my husband doesn't cook because he's terrible at it, I'm very good and enjoy cooking, and we are all happier if I am the family chef.  He does other things.

It would be a problem if I minded it or wanted to share the load, but I don't.

Couples get to balance things according to their own preferences, it doesn't make it a weapon not to split every chore 50/50.[/quote]

Driving is not a chore.  It's a necessity (not including in cities). [/quote]

Umm most chores are necessities.

NBD to divide things up based on who prefers doing what. My DH does almost all our driving and I keep our family of 5 afloat with clean laundry. He feels comfortable driving us everywhere and I WAH so I can keep laundry going during the week. Works just fine for us, no “weaponizing.” [/quote]

But you can drive. You are making a choice not to and you both have determined to divide household labor. That’s great.

So if god forbid one of you got sick, broke an arm, had to leave town the other would be able to do the chore and not have to be dependent on hired help or just suffer[/quote]
