We grew up with different role models, different expectations.
- Maybe in one household the beds are always made, and in the other... not.
- Maybe one person's parents required the kids to work and save.
The decisions that we're going to discuss here are not life long (Penny and I have both done the budget at one time or another) but it's good to talk through these items.
So... in no particular order, here are a few:
- Who cleans the toilet/bathroom?
- Who does the dishes?
- Who does laundry?
- Who vacuums?
- Who cooks?
- Who shops?
- Yardwork?
- Who does the budgeting/finances?
- How much can one partner spend without notifying the other?
- Who will be working (and what hours?)
- How do we feel about pets?
- How do we feel about children?
- How do we feel about God?
- How do we feel about politics?
There's no right or wrong answer... we're just looking to have a discussion, shed some light on how we feel.
