December 3, 2012 Question for married people or couples who live together. Who does what? Are there chore roles? We’ve been married for over 12 years and together for 14.

November 29, 2012 We're grilling today? At around 10:30 am every morning my wife and I discuss what we're having for lunch or dinner, if you want to call it that. Usually it's my big meal of the day because soon after I'm off to work, until at least 8 pm. Also, cooking a bigger midday meal leaves leftovers and makes it really easy to reheat later and feed the kids for supper.
