should do it all? I hear this and think why should a woman at home do every thing? Shouldn't it be whatever works? Shouldn't it be whatever floats the boat of the married couple? Confused on this thinking.

If you are home do you do it all? How does your DH or SO feel?

WOH do you do it all or do you split it? Do you do more or less since you WOH?

Who says it has to? WHY does it have to be "Equal".....why do you care? Some people in strong marriages don't have to keep score. It's not always tit for tat. It must be interesting in your marriage, because I don't know how you can get enjoy each other with so much time spent on worrying about "division of labor".

Well see, in life according to CLW they have color coordinated plates,glasses, towels ect. Each party knows exactly which they've used and they only wash their said color....

Agree w/ya but she & trip can't seem to handle others think & live differently & their husbands are happy. Did you see now where it was said the husband's "buy in", "do it not to listen to whining"? Oh yes, these 2 have all marriage relationships across the universe summed up. They can say it is unfair all they want but unless the husband or husband and wife say it is unfair in their marriage then it is fair whether these 2 can accept the reality or not. They just don't want to accept it.

and they have tape running down the middle of the house...each sticks to his/her own side and each is responsible for his/her own side. Everything is equal and fair in life according to CLW.

Most HOA's (homeowners associations) disallow clotheslines. My hubby & I really shopped around to try & find a new home that was not part of a HOA.

A 4000 sf home is pretty normal around here.

It's really not hard to find. I have even been to Westport and driven by it (although it had to be pointed out to me, LOL!). There's not much to see because of the huge stone wall. i imagine that everyone in the area knows she lives there.
