My husband would flip out if I "made him a list". I made lists for my children, not my husband. Our trash gets carried out by whoever gets to it first. Our bed gets made by whoever gets ready for work first. Our dogs get carried out by whoever gets to the door first. I mow the yard if he's feeling bad or working late. He mops the floor if I'm feeling bad or sidetracked. We pickup after each other and our children and their children and our parents and our friends. We talk and make lists TOGETHER for extra (out of the norm) things that need to be done. WE DON'T KEEP SCORE!
PS: WE raised four children, while working outside the home! Only our first baby slept with us (for almost four years) until the second one was born.
