so on Saturday when you get down to doing chores, you don't split them up?

Not really in the way you seem to be describing. Both my wife and I are huge list makers, so we both tend to do that with chores. There are things which I do most of the time and things she does most of the time...but none are assigned per se. It would be rare that we'd wright the same things down, but if we did and she got to a thing before me I'd just move on down my list...and vice versa.

So, if tomorrow I decided to tell her I'd be outsourcing MY chores, her response would be, "Exactly what do you think are MY chores?"

Most yard work would not really follow this rule though,. since I'm 100% responsible for that...so if I decided to hire some yard company it would not change any other duty. I'd still be doing whatever it is I do around the house and so would she.
