Dividing household chores fairly and efficiently is essential for maintaining a clean and harmonious living space π‘
We firmly believe that everyone in a household is responsible for putting in their part of the work to maintain the household β this is one of the issues we talked about even before moving in together, as we donβt want it to become a source of tension in our relationship and it makes no sense to proceed further if weβre not aligned in our views (glad we agreed haha!) π€
This is definitely not an easy topic to broach to your significant other or household members, and here are some essential tips which we found useful in helping us to divide the choresππ»
βοΈ πΆπππ πͺππππππππππππ
Start by having an open and honest discussion with your partner and/or household members (yes, this includes your parents or in-laws if youβre staying with them) π¬Understand each person's preferences, strengths, and schedules, as this will help in coming up with a chores schedule that takes into account everyoneβs abilities and preferences π
For instance, I enjoy cooking and meal prepping, but really hate washing and cleaning up. Iβm mostly responsible for cooking the meals, while ππ»ββοΈ helps with cleaning and washing.

This one might be tough for some of us, but itβs crucial to have regular check-ins with your partner and/or household members to see how everyone is doing, obtain feedback on the distribution of chores, and make the adjustments where necessary. It is important that everyone can voice their concerns or suggest changes to this π£οΈ
For instance, we would sometimes discuss household issues over the weekend, when both of us are less stressed from work and in a better headspace to listen to each other. There was a particular week where ππ»ββοΈ was very swamped with work, so I volunteered to also take on some washing duties so ππ»ββοΈ can focus.

If your budget allows, you can consider hiring external help, such as part-time cleaning services, to reduce the burden of household chores. This can be effective and relieve some of the workload ππ»ββοΈππ»ββοΈ
While we doing simple tasks like vacuuming on a daily basis, we do hire part-time helpers from time to time to help with deep cleaning our place. This definitely frees up valuable time for rest and other tasks.
Overall, while household chores can be a potential source of tension, it is not an insurmountable challenge that canβt be tackled β°οΈ Remain open to discussion and be willing to adapt as circumstances change! Last but not least, remember to express appreciation for each otherβs efforts! π₯°
