Is the list of chores you are responsible for a fair split?

Sometimes when H and I have days like that, it's because the list in one person's head is way longer than the other person's list. If you think it's a 10-item list and you are doing 5 items, but she thinks it's a 20-item list . . . all of a sudden your split doesn't seem so fair (assuming you are intending to go halfsies).

Or, sometimes I think we have to do a project, and that throws the balance out of whack, especially if I forget to explain the reason for the project to H or he is not in the mood to tackle a project that weekend.

And I've been known to be guilty of assuming a teen should know not to use clean/good towels to do X.

All of which is to say this could be normal frustrated woman stuff and not WAW stuff. But that doesn't make it more pleasant to live through.
