As a single woman, I can't really weigh in on the division of labor side of this - I'm responsible for all of it, all the time, and I genuinely can't decide if that's better or worse. Pros and cons for sure.
Meanwhile, sharing another fun resource: fellow Richmonder Miranda Anderson has some interesting takes on both meal planning and division of labor on her podcast. Her meal planning strategy to is to quarterly themes days of the week to reduce decision fatigue. For example, she always serves tacos on Tuesdays but varies what kind. https://open.spotify.com/episode/0kSX6thXoBo4ythtJE0PAk?si=3cc31227e9bf4ba7
I can't find her division of labor episode, but basically she and her husband split large chores and own them for the year. He does laundry, she's responsible for dinner. I'm over simplifying it but I found it interesting. I wish you could tag people in this so she could chime in!!
