Nope. When I worked I made way less money and we were pretty equal with chores. Now I make no money and do a lot more chores, but that's because I'm a SAHM and here more often to do them.
-
I don't make more, but if I did, I would still expect to do my fair share. Though, if I was working crazy hours or something, then maybe not.

No i dont think the amount of chores should be in ratio to the amount earned

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I love the thought of "desire, ability and convenience." really think that who ever has the time should be the one doing the chores. Both people generally have some amount of time so both should be doing some amount of the chores. But if one person "desires" to have one particular chore done, then he/she should do it! I like to pick up around the house all day, every day. I don't nag DH to pick up his stuff. I just do it!
-
No way! I think whoever has the time and energy should do the chores. DH and I are pretty good at giving each other a break when we need it.

I started to think that maybe if you make significantly more than your spouse, maybe that would give you more say over whether or not you hire a cleaning service. But then I realized, no! That too is ridiculous.
No matter how much or little Wagon Sr. or I make in comparison to each other, we will always work together for household tasks. And if we decide to hire a cleaning service (which we have done in the past... boy, do I miss that) it's also a joint decision.

No! I don't think it should matter how much each person makes. I think it comes down to who has more time. My DH leaves for work later and gets home earlier than me so he's always done more chores than me on weekdays.

Well for us, it works out that way. He works all day doing really stressful stuff and I'm supposed to do most of the chores. I ask him to take out the garbage and he always does the BBQ tho. If I need help, he'll always help.
