How do you & your SO balance work and your household?

Question

We’ve been struggling with balancing work and our household “chores” and what is fair.. we both work the same days and around the same time.. I start work at 12:30pm and get home around 10pm.. he starts work at 2-4pm and gets home around 11pm.. When we both get off work we are tired and just wanna relax but one of us has to make dinner.. idk it seems tough. How do you balance the house work with your SO?

Answer

He works I cook and clean and he does a deep clean as I can’t do that because of my
Hip. I’m a sahm due to medical problems though.

Answer

Well, you just have to talk it out and split the chores fairly. My husband and I both work full time, but he also goes to school, so for now, I take care of all the chores; laundry, dishes, sweeping, mopping, cleaning windows. He cooks and takes the trash out. Which I don’t mind since he’s busy with school

Answer

Crock pot and Door dash...and one day at a time ✌🏼

Answer

Plan out meals and decide whose cooking what each day before hand. We plan for a week at a time and usually one cooks and one does dishes

Answer

Well, we're both aware of that we are tired and don't wanna do anything. We try to plan as much as possible both dinner, laundry, cleaning, shopping and so on.
I hate being in a kitchen, so he does that. I take the biggest load of all practical things with our daughter.
And then we remember that it's not a competition. It's team work. We don't do chores. We help each other woth the household. And we try to balance it as well as we can.

Answer

I agree with the crock pot comment. I also frequently will cook two meals in one evening and then we have leftovers for lunches and suppers for a couple of days. In a pinch, we have eggs.
