We’re certainly not perfect, at it as my fiancée is more a planner and I’m more knock down obstacles as I get to 'em. Which shakes out as if we want things done well they’re assigned to my fiancée, and if we want things done at all they’re assigned to me. So even though we try, my better half is house manager and I’m house minion.
I can see this being a useful strategy. A lot often falls on my wife. But it’s like fighting an uphill battle to help. She asks for it, but if I take the initiative, often she just gets annoyed with how I did it. If I ask her she gives me a list of way too detailed processes for menial tasks. It just makes me feel like an employee. Like, girl, I love you, but I know how to mop my house. What is this transforming cleaning tool you’re using and why are you handing me a page with 12 steps of instructions? Just let me mop the damn floor how I know to do it.
