A household responsibilities test to help you understand which of you is more invested in your family

Have you recently had the feeling that all the household duties that are assigned to the shoulders of the spouses when creating a family have completely fallen on your shoulders and the other half has completely ceased to take part in the improvement of life together?

We offer to check how true your suspicions are with a simple and quick test!

The results of the test Each tick is 2 points. Count the number of ticks and multiply the resulting amount by 2. If you scored only 10 points (or less), consider rethinking the division of household responsibilities.

The result of 12-16 points indicates that household responsibilities in the family are distributed correctly and each spouse performs approximately the same number of important household chores.

But a number of 26 to 30 points indicates that it is time to start allowing yourself more rest.

Ask your spouse to take the test and compare the results. And also do not hesitate to share the impressions of passing the test in the comments!

Have a good day and see you again!
