I do all the laundry, clean the kitchen and empty/fill the dishwasher. I've got a bit of a routine and it works. She cooks and does the bathrooms. Division of labour is the key. Took us a few years and many arguments to settle into our lanes and now it's fine.

We both do everything. I just do extra unfucking the dishwasher, I swear when she loads it, it's as if someone broke into our home and just put shit wherever. Other than that, allllll goooooood.
the battle lines were drawn with soap
Today, my partner, who took a week off work to play video games, asked me if I was going to do the grocery shopping.

Wow. I'm sure plenty of folk here are high-fiving this guy for what they strangely perceive as just a dude living his best life, but personally I think that's selfish AF.
Hey, they took that week off to play video games, not to go grocery shopping.
If you said no, do you think they would have done the groceries?
Have they done the same amount of chores at home during their vacation, than they would do when they are working? I dont think one person being on the vacation should mean they need to do every chore at home.
If they have done less than normally then i fully understand the frustration, but if they have done their part, or more than that i think its selfish to think that they should be doing everything.

My blood boils for you
So, did you?
Yes, I had to run an errand anyway, but I was still annoyed by the question because he didn’t know that.
Solution, get you a girl that's messier than you. My house is a shit hole, but we are still in love.
That worked fine until kids, now it's like trying to manage a barn
Que sera! My house is a disaster, and we pick it up once a week only to have it disasterize itself again in a couple days anyway. And we harp on the kids, but in the same way my folks harped on me, so obviously it's just in my genes and so fuck it.
My house is also spotless if we have people by, but during the week, things just pile up, and we just keep our heads above water.
I haven't gone that far yet, I always imagined a cordoned-off area of safety. I'm just now realising how stupid I was. I hope you all make it. 🫶
There aren't many dragons around here. We're too quiet to attract the attention of bad guys. However, I both do laundry and load the dishwasher. I'm also the cook. Been doing this since well before I retired. One of my sociology students actually told me it was "gay."
I enjoy the cleaning. It gives me purpose and makes me feel useful.
You could ask far, far worse of me.
sexism intensifies
Fuck washing dishes. That is why we invented dishwashers
Loading the dishwasher is its own battle.
