001 50/50 Sharing the Load

Big Chat Small Talk Podcast with Louise Anderson and Vernie Bennett

What does 50/50 mean in terms of sharing the load in the household?

For many it’s equal distribution and responsibility between the partners when it comes to finance, child-rearing, housekeeping, bills, cooking and cleaning. But as you’ll hear in this episode, 50/50 means different things to us!

We discuss our experiences and views on sharing the household load, the pros and cons of 50/50, the different ways to see 50/50, as well as what 50/50 means in dating. As we challenge each other on this topic, you may find your perspective challenged as well!
