@jesking I understand that in theory, but in practice I would rather come to a consensus / agreement than for either of us to make a unilateral decision.

@abra That’s amazing! Is that a housekeeper? Or how do you find someone like that? I put off putting away laundry (clean it but don’t put it away) for like 2 weeks. I’m not proud of that. It took 40 MINUTES to put it all away today. Just for me and my husband - baby’s I just toss in a basket...
