Modern Morals: My wife wants to split the housework 50/50 but I work harder and earn more so I don't think it's fair
Question: My wife and I both work full-time but I earn almost twice as much as her. The work I do is more mentally taxing and often involves me working later into the evening. It took me eight years of study to get into this line of work. My wife didn’t go to university. We’re now parents to young children and housework has become a big bone of contention. My wife wants to draw up a spreadsheet to split chores, general tasks and childcare 50/50.
