I cook, I clean, I bath the kids and do daycare runs, I’m the one that updates the family calendar so we’re all in the right spot…when do I get some help dethatching the lawn? Or renovating the bathroom to match some Pinterest post?
Fair is fair after all. Just doesn’t seem all that fair.
So communicate with your spouse. Absolutely no one’s saying you need to do everything yourself. Ideally it’s 50/50, even if the 50’s don’t look the same.
Also, not saying this is your case, but sometimes when I feel like I’m the person doing everything I’ll ask my spouse to remind me of their 50. It’s easy for me to see what I do and when I’m low it feels harder to see what they do. So I tell them I’m having a myopic moment and ask them to point out some of their 50 to knock me out of it.
