This time, instead of asking, "Are you SERIOUS?", I will ask "Are you married?".
I hope not.  If you and your spouse could not settle something like a
misunderstanding about who would do the laundry, then you marriage is
utterly *doomed*.  Problems like this come up all the time, especially in
the first several years of marriage, until each one settles into what
he/she feels comfortable doing for the household, although some chores
are toss-ups forever.  If you think there is any reasonable chance you
can predict these things enough to put them in a contract, when you are
only engaged (unless you've been living together for 10 years), YOU'RE
NUTS.

This really burns me up!  Please, fellow married types: I never thought I
was such a great person becuase I could work out a solution to who does
the laundry when it comes up in daily life -- am I that unique?!?
