[quote=Anonymous]I wonder whether there are some specific things OP could choose not to do to save time and to encourage her husband to pick up the slack. A couple examples from my home: (1) my wife refuses to put her dirty dishes in the dishwasher and deposits them in the sink instead to save time (it might save her a couple seconds, but it costs me a few minutes because I later have to scrape off the dry food). This weekend I made sure that all my dishes and the kids dishes were immediately put in the dishwasher after use, and then when my wife woke up after breakfast there were no clean bowls available to her. She ended up washing her bowl from the previous morning. Of course this means that I have to be completely on top of putting away the clean dishes, but that's not particularly difficult. (2) my wife basically never folds laundry. I fold and put away my laundry and the kids' laundry, and she has to go down to the basement to get her clothes out of a bin. This recently motivated her to propose that we fold clothes together, since she can't ever find what she's looking for. [/quote]
