You do everything at home – laundry, cooking, planning, prepare everything for the kids. On top of doing your full-time job. And in the rare occasion when you go out to catch up with a friend you come back home to a full sink, mess and toys everywhere, food on the floor. And when you moan all he has to say is ‘You should’ve told me to tidy up’. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unbelievable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now imagine if he shared an equal part of the chores and you don’t even need to ask him to do his tasks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, that’s possible and I’m on a mission to show you how to get your partner to help with chores. Cause in our household we used to be scenario #1. That was before we had a baby and I felt an inner pride to care for the house. But when Dominic (our son) arrived this was no longer an option. So using the steps I describe below we got to scenario #2. It took a few months of adjustment (of both sides) and conversations but we’re proudly here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For context, 57% of working mothers<\/a> say that they tend to take on more of the day to day child-caring responsibilities. 51% say they tend to do more of the housework than their partners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only 23% share it equally! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So hands up if you ever felt like this:<\/p>\n\n\n
