Our strict Covid lockdown when only 1 person was allowed to go grocery shopping and the past year of an endless temporary living situation made some pretty dramatic shifts to how tasks are divided up in our house. My husband is definitely doing more perpetual chores than before. Thank you for sharing the words to describe them!

My husband has taken some time off work and is at home while I am in the office. This has been the best thing for our relationship as he now sees how much invisible work I do AND how quickly a day not filled with structured work can fly by. Love this discussion even if it is a bit disheartening sometimes

I do the dishes, vacuuming, and take out the compost. My wife shops and does laundry, both of which I am eternally grateful for because I suck at folding clothes and hate shopping. He both take a hand in yard work and cooking. Our daughter is on her own so there is no more child care. Now it's fun. My daughter and I go out and close the karaoke bars.

My wife and I frequently thank each other for chores. We didn't always. In addition to being married we are BFsF.

I do the laundry, the vacuuming, the grocery shopping and all the trash. My wife does the bulk of the cooking, but I'm working to do more.
