Family Minute #37

What’s the division of labor like at your house?

If one person is saddled with the majority of the chores, something may be out of balance. So sit down with your spouse and come up with a plan, which includes your children. Assign tasks according to each person’s abilities, interests and preferences, rather than by so-called “men’s work” or “women’s work.” Then, let whoever does each task do it his or her way – without criticism. Switch jobs regularly... maybe each week or month.

Remember your family first.
