AITA Chores Division
My partner and I share chores. There are 4 chores.
Cooking, laundry, dishes and cleaning the kitchen after cooking, and house cleaning.
I do the last 2. We have a dishwasher.
Instead of cleaning, I hired a cleaner. I pay for it 100%.
This man refused to help his partner with folding the laundry.
The issue is that my partner says I should fold the laundry.
They claim it is only fair since they washed it and hanged it.
I replied that laundry is their chore.
They argue that I am not cleaning, so I should help more.
He told them he would split the chores if they would pay half of the cleaner.
To this, I said that I would be willing to take on more chores or split them.
That would only happen if they pay half of the cleaner.
They say they will not.
Am I the jerk?
