why you both feel that the distribution of household responsibilities is unfair at the moment - it actually looks quite reasonable to me from the outside.
For me, I think it's just existential guilt, the low-lying, low-flying kind.
For Rob, I think it's because he can't see the work that goes into organising, and he knows that he earns waaaay more than I do, even if his job is easier for him than my job is for me.

But then it comes down to how a person's contribution to a household is to be measured. Personally, I prefer to go by time and energy expended rather than cash brought in. Your job seems to be costing you plenty of both, as does the organisational stuff.
