Question

Help answer this question below.

I am an IT Manager and I work from home. My wife is a stay at home mom and we have 3 kids ages 2, 4, and 7. We are really struggling with keeping a balance of who does what even though I help with every chore. What should be expected of me?

    Take the number of hours you work each day and set that aside as "no chore" time. She has her "work" to do then, too. But once you have met your work hours, then it should be shared evenly between the two of you.

    Designate certain times as work only and certain times as chore time.

    Make a list dividing duties, but realize that sometimes one of you may need more help than the other and be respectful of that.

    You and your wife (and the children) should sit down and write out a chore list for all of you. You can't read her mind and she can't expect you to. I know when I give my husband a job to do, I have to write out the steps I expect or he doesn't do it my way.

    Sit down and write the chores out and give some to the kids, too. Communication is the only way to not annoy each other. :)
