Managing Household Chores by Using the Internet

The viewers on live.pirillo.com witnessed a bit of a disagreement between Ponzi and I, regarding division of household chores. For the most part, we agree on who should do what… but there are always going to be contention points. Ponzi has come up with a solution.

Our biggest contention point is the laundry. Who should do it, sort it, fold it, put it away? Neither of us really enjoys laundry, and sometimes we leave it to Wicket and Pixie to do. However, that tends to create an even bigger mess. Lucky for me, Ponzi subscribed us to Chorebuster.net. Well, maybe lucky isn’t the right word to use.

Chorebuster is a free service which allows you to manage the household chore division fairly. Simply input the chores (daily and/or weekly), weight them by the amount of time it takes to do each one, and let the site randomly assign the person with the chore. It’s very simple to do, and can potentially save you a lot of headaches.

However, I don’t much care for it. It’s not the site itself I have a problem with. It’s just too much organization for me. I know what chores need to be done, and I prefer to just do them. Ponzi, however, is more of the organized type, so this works perfectly for her.

Of course, since I’m married, I of course agree with Ponzi that this is going to be excellent for us. It’s great and wonderful! Yes, dear.
