I disagree with any effort to track how many chores each spouse does. That is a road to disaster in my opinion.

Before I married, my wife and I took marriage classes and one of the best 'take aways' I learned was "Marriage is not 50/50. It's 70/30 and you're doing the 70". So true. Just accept that points of view are different.

My suggestion is to tell her if something needs done and it's bother her - she needs to do it herself. If it bothers you - then YOU do it. Don't expect your spouse to do it!
