VDL: Dividing Household Labor

At our house, the division of labor is almost 50-50. Or at least, that’s what we aim for. I work part-time and go to night classes. My husband works full-time, but in the evenings and on weekends, he really makes an effort to play with the kids, cook nutritious meals for the family and do his share of the household duties. We try to reach a happy medium, but the midpoint is often elusive. There are moments when one of us gets resentful, but for the most part, we do our best to make it work/Virginia de Leon, Are We There Yet? More here.

Question: How do you and your significant other divide the labor in your household?
