Sharing household chores

Everyone's working, caring for the children, running around trying to get things done, and you're noticing that there maybe some uneven distribution of household chores and other tasks. How can you ensure that everything is fair, so that you both have time to recuperate?

My kids help out some as they are older but getting them at home to help out is sometimes a problem.
Tough one!!

What I am having a hard time with ,is that my husband expects my dd to pick up her stuff, but he doesen't pick up his stuff. He's not terribly messy, but, he takes his clothes off after work and piles them by his chair. Or he eats snacks and sets the stuff on his table, next to his chair and doesen't take it back to the kitchen. I am a SAHM, so I don't mind doing the majority of household chores, but I am not a maid. Plus, it's hard to tell a 7 yo, you have to pick up your clothes and put them in the laundry, or take your dishes back to the kitchen
We had that situation once....my hubby would pick up his dishes and put them on the counter above the dishwasher while requiring our son to put his IN the dishwasher.
