Trade off chores

Running a household is almost like running a business, with a surprisingly wide variety of tasks to be performed. Theres vacuuming, cooking, laundry, bill paying, grocery shopping, doing dishes, car maintenance, home repair, yard work, cleaning bathrooms, taking out garbage, filing taxes and managing gadgets, for starters. Make a list of those chores, plus any others that come to mind. Circle the ones you like to do, and X the ones you prefer not to. Have your partner do the same. Compare lists. Negotiate.
