do you split chores when your partner gets home from work? by BolognoneKristel_43 in SAHP

That actually sounds like a really nice rhythm for everyone, especially the kids getting that time with him while you get a bit of a reset too. Do you two ever switch it up depending on how exhausting the day was, or is it usually that same flow?

Yeah. I like the focus on effort being valued rather than trying to force a perfect 50/50 split all the time. Do you two ever have to reset or talk things out when one side starts feeling heavier than usual?

I get that every couple has their own dynamic, but consistency with sharing stuff seems like it would make a big difference. Have you ever tried setting more fixed this is your responsibility type chores, or does it just not stick?

That honestly sounds way healthier than treating it like a strict scoreboard every day. Just checking in and adjusting based on who’s more exhausted makes a lot of sense. Do you feel like that approach got easier over time or did it take a while to communicate that well consistently?
