The Housework Problem SOLVED.

Just Your Typical, Garden Variety Problem

You're not alone. So many couples struggle with the saga of housework. In our experience, most couples would tick the box saying domestic chores are a point of frustration for them. Most couples wade through an infuriating mix of nagging, rolling eyes, just doing it themselves or simply throwing up their arms in a desperate bid to get their spouses to notice and contribute a little bit more.

Sound familiar? Maybe you're making it work. Sure, you're still doing the lion's share but it's far more peaceful than rocking the boat again and, at least your spouse contributes something. Perhaps you're reading this wondering what all the fuss is about. Don't clothes get magically cleaned, dried, ironed and returned to the wardrobe? Read on friend. Your spouse probably sent you this.

Truth: There's almost always an imbalance when it comes to housework.

Even when it's finally working it's only a matter of time before it's not again. Why? Because life isn't stagnant. Things change in life and we are often slow to adjust. Sometimes we lovingly cover our spouse's responsibilities for a while because they're super busy or stressed. That's definitely impressive and generous but what if it becomes the new norm?

My Lightweight Breaking Point

I went to fill up my water bottle at our superpowered water filter a couple of years ago. It was empty. I nearly lost it. The accumulation of crazy and annoying across my day had built up to this moment and I yelled out,

"FAR OUT people. Fill up the water filter when it gets low!!"

It was in my best angry dad voice. Surely I was the ONLY one who ever filled up the reservoir! About that time Beck and I were butting heads on housework and she came up with a brilliant idea.
