Chores, domestic service

Non-sexual work done for someone: a meal, a bath, nails, a chore.

Why people do it

Chores done as submission take the dynamic out of the bedroom and put it into the ordinary week, which for many couples is where they wanted it all along.

Smallest way in

One task, tonight, with a standard stated in advance and an inspection at the end. Vague service does nothing.

What to watch

Do not turn resentment into protocol. If a chore was already a source of friction, it makes a bad piece of play.

In the planner

14 different things carry this tag, and switching it off removes every one of them. The mildest of them sits at easy.
