Guess who's responsible for more of the daily grind?
“Being responsible for meeting the essential everyday needs of the household is not the same as mowing the lawn once a week or resetting the WiFi. If you get busy and forget to trim the grass — you can always get to it the following weekend. The same can’t be said about the dishes or dinners.”
“You may be an amazing chef who really loves cooking new recipes but when you have no other option but to cook three meals a day, seven days a week until the end of time, the repetition and monotony of the task can almost make it intolerable,” Danger said. “The daily tasks don’t come with a satisfying end-point or moment of crossing it off the list.”It’s also harder to get ahead at work or dive into your hobbies or passions when you’re so tied to a particular schedule.
“Whether couples are using that deck of cards approach or whether they have a different approach, just knowing who’s doing what and when is a big part of the conversation and recognising each other’s labour,” Saxbe said. “Jointly set a standard that works for you and then commit to having one person own that task for a month or two,” she suggested. “Give [your partner] time to learn lessons, build their own systems and get good at it. Hold boundaries and don’t swoop in to save the day!”
