A dual career family has their work lives, and their home lives.

Home life has it's own set of duties and responsibilities that is shared as well.

As long as the chores are done at home, she can't complain. If she has to go home and do everything cause he has been drinking all afternoon, that is another story.

Haven't read the rest of the thread but I generally agree with this.

Not on the person with free time to spend it all on chores, but a bit of a douche move to leave all the household duties to the other person/later when you could knock a few out and still have plenty of time for whatever you want.

Basically, if you actually like your spouse or SO, it's not that crazy of an ask to get a little head start on household duties when you get some extra free time. That means you and you're SO (who you supposedly enjoy spending time with) can fill the limited free time together on things other than household chores.

Again, not saying the free time person should sacrifice all or even a substantial amount of their free time.

It would annoy me if I worked 8+ hours and then come home to an SO who sat on their arse all day with none of the daily household tasks completed. A little effort goes a long way.

Now if the free time SO is going out with coworkers/clients/whoever for a post deal celebration or something that's completely different.
