Who should take the kids according to this deal? (Lighthearted)

DP and I take turns in the school run.

Today was supposed to be my turn to take them but I was feeling a bit grotty last night.
I said to DP "You take them and I'll do the Kitchen (we had been baking and left it a mess) I'll do it Kim and Aggie standards" Grin

So the deal was struck.

Now it's supposed to be DPs turn again tomorrow for the school run and she said "you're taking them tomorrow"
I said "Its your turn?"

She said "I took them today?"

My argument is that today's trip was in exchange of a full kitchen deep clean and that's inconsequential to the normal arrangement meaning it is her turn tomorrow.

She says she went today so it's my turn tomorrow regardless of agreement.

Who is right? 😂😂

We take them alternate days.

Hahahaha I agree that the clean was in exchange for taking them, so it's her turn tomo

I agree with you. However, your deal was ambiguous - she may have thought the kitchen clean was in exchange for her doing you the favour of switching the usual pattern of days but overall your previous labour arrangement would stand.

My DH and I alternate morning wake ups (our kids get up early) so it's a bit like that. I would say it's your turn tomorrow, you got an extra day off (in exchange for cleaning, which to be fair is non related and needed to be done anyway) and now normal business resumes and so it's your turn as you're back to alternating and she went yesterday. Sorry 😁
