Chore sharing fairness

Hi

Interested in your thoughts...

If you have very different salaries to your partners do you still share chores etc 50:50? Or does the higher income mean you get fewer chores?
If the higher income person pays for a cleaner or takeaway (hopefully we’ve not forgotten what these things are) say does that excuse them from other chores? Or is income and what you financially bring to a relationship irrelevant to manual home labour?

Thanks Smile

I estimate

Income is totally irrelevant. For me, it’s more about the time at home.
If someone works part time and earns double what their partner works full time, I’d expect the part time person to do more chores.
If both are at home then both should split the work till it’s fine then both can have free time.
I think it’s awful if someone is sitting on their arse while seeing their partner is run off their feet doing chores.
