We do our best to fairly split the domestic workload at home. These are the daily tasks that keep a family home running. I thought it might be helpful to show exactly how we split the workload of family travel. The way I have it split in the video is the way we often split the work, but it doesn't always look exactly like this. Sometimes we will trade tasks (ex. He packs the kids' clothes and I pack the car ) or split tasks (ex. We both work on the daily itinerary/ booking flights) And sometimes one of us will end up doing more work than the other just because of the way the schedules lay out or our kids' needs. But what does "fair" look like? For us, it's not about having equal amounts of things on our lists. Because not all tasks have the same weight. Loading the car with bags, doesn't take nearly as long as it takes to sort out and pack all the kids' clothing. Booking a rental car takes 5 minutes, but finding an Airbnb can take hours. Booking and paying the dog sitter takes a couple minutes, but cleaning the dog sitter's room and bathroom takes much longer. And sometimes one of us will take the kids out of the house and leave one partner to do most of these tasks with the kids out of the way. No matter how we split it, our goal is that each of us is capable of fully taking on ownership of every task and that at the end of the day, we both have put in the work, and carried the burden so we can each have rest time. We find that this is a key to having a more restful family trip! Working towards a 50/50 split and maintaining this balance in our home is a continuous effort on both of our parts.
