The Chores List

Okay, I'm going through a little learning curve right now. Without the boring details, it boils down to me feeling like I do everything at home, and that is probably a result of me trying to be in charge of everything here at home.

So, I say to my handsomer half, "Hun, do you think we could officially designate some household jobs, so I know what I actually need to do and what you'll be planning on doing? Because, Honey, I feel like I'm doing everything."

Now, I want EVERYONE of YOU to send me details on how you've managed this aspect of your healthy, vibrant marriages. How do you "share" the household work between the homemaker and the breadwinner? (royal.spamcan@gmail.com, and he forwards it to me.)

Here's what we've got so far, which list was intended as the minimum jobs possible to run our house on:
