I have suggested this a few times over the years. She has been opposed to the idea. I vaguely recall the vocalized reason being that I should just see what needs to be done and do it.


That's too nebulous a standard to attain. It's jello in action and makes it impossible to ever guage with accuracy who is doing what.

I suggest you do a list of all that is done regularly and see what if anything she'll sign up for. If she refuses or procrastinates, take the list, initial those items that you do and set up the ones the kids do AND POST IT ON THE FRIDGE.

I would even make it a calendar/check it off type list so that at the end of each day you have there in front of you in black and white what you have accomplished in the household that day.

Nail the jello. ;\)
