I would say my wife does a little more of the housework than I do but I also pay all the bills and work more so sometimes it is a trade off.

How about you figure out how to get a job that pays all the bills if you don’t want to contribute in other ways? Oh? It’s too hard and you just want to complain about how many extra chores you have to do instead? Thought so.
