I expect adults to be able to care of themselves. I was raised and then lived single doing the food shopping, cooking, dishes, laundry, etc. I thought that is what adults do.

Married now and my wife works corporate and is usually home later than me. I make dinner. My son does lots of chores while home on summer vacation. It is team work. When there are the home repairs to do, I do them, but there is no ‘slack’ I have to pick up later. Normal ‘man’ work around the house counts as chores too.

Every couple does have to work it out.
