Fairly light hearted, but this is a situation that has pissed me off.
We've had a lot of issues previously with DH not pulling his weight. He agrees that it's a shared responsibilty, but he was terrible at bothering to get anything done. He did get a lot better, and things have been good for some time. I'm now 8M pregnant with DD2, still working and doing at least half of the DIY/prep for baby's arrival. I work part time, 3 days, DH works out 4 days, 1 day from home. My 2 days home I have DD, DH's day at home, he's alone. (to avoid drip feeding! 
)
DH is rubbish at cleaning/tidying as he goes. Often leaves rubbish lying about, never thinks to put things away. So we'd settled on an even share with him doing one short job each day which I didn't have to think about, like emptying the bins, or changing the bed. We ended up having an arguement the other week as he'd slipped back into not doing anything again. He managed about 3 days before he slipped back into not bothering. It drives me fucking potty! I don't have the time, or inclination, to do it all for him, and he often has more free time than I do.
Last night he got in, I was cooking dinner, and I told him to keep his shoes on and go tidy up all the garden toys! He wasn't impressed.
So, AIBU to give him a task to do everyday as soon as he gets through the door?
