so one person works more to pay for half the chores and still should do half the remaining chores?
My wife and I do not make equal salaries, our chores are not proportional to the economic value that we bring to the relationship. Not sure why it matters if there is a second job. This thread seems to be like asking if economic value should be in proportion to chores around the house. IMO, if both parties are working the answer is no.

it is, but this tradeoff isn't exactly incredible
we pay for our food, clothing, and all sorts of other stuff. we exchange economic value for an easier life all the time
it's not like chores are magical. yard workers, maids, etc are common.

In addition, we've never once sat down and charted who does what to really have any idea if it's 50-50!
I do some things most of the time, she does some things most of the time and there are things we each do as need be without charting it out. Never once have we consciously decided if the system was fair and balanced. We simply slid into a system that works for us.
Why am I picturing SFP and his girl hashing this all out over an Excel sheet?
