    Your Answer:

    I would sit down and talk to her, but be sure you are not attacking or being confrontational. Maybe both of you could come up with a list of chores that need to be done then divide them out to where you feel that you are both doing your part. Dont accuse or say something like "you never do anything around here". Trust me that will not get a good response and probably just make her mad. I would love for my husband to sit down and make a list with me of our household chores (including the outside) and talk about a fair division. We both work full time and go to school so I think it is only fair to divide up household stuff equally. However I still do most of it. If one spouse works less, then maybe that spouse could pick up more of the responsibilities. Just try to come up with a plan where both people feel that its fair.
