Is that list just your jobs, or does that list both your and your husband's jobs together? I want to see your husband's list Tongue Out

cooking dinner
cooking for shabbos
washing dishes
clearing and washing down table and counters
washing down bathroom counter and mirror
washing laundry, and all that it entails from hamper to closet
ordering groceries and putting them away
organizing cleaners and pharmacy pick ups and deliveries

There's lots more I'm sure.

my list I basically do e/t around the house except for taking out the garbage and friday afternoon sponga.
once in a while my husband will wash the breakfast dishes. about once a month- if even that he might put up some pasta for the kids.
if I ask him to help he'll put some of the laundry away (his) he may also put the kids away but put it in the wrong places. (also maybe 2-3x a year)
I cook, clean, do laundry, ironing, mop the floors during the week, dishes, sweep, clean the bathroom, dust, food shop (okay last week my husband went), make the beds, change the linen, organize the kids, etc etc etc

My job-everything

Dh job- um....... he is out all day and evenings so what job could he possibly have? He comes home a half hour to the zman on fridays so I don't rely on him for anything.

I thought I would just get ideas of what else to add to my list! Also I think that it will be a lot easier to avoid "are u doing this? " ect if we have set chores that's why I liked the idea! Bc I just know are lists are about to double with the baby imh-which I am excited about!
