I like the spirit of this, but I fucking hate the execution. Yes, you need to share chores. Yes, you need to appreciate housework - particularly shopping and cooking! But making missions statements and weekly status meetings (that IS what you're discribing) is fucking stupid. It turns a personal partnership into a transactional business relationship.

Next thing you know we'll have a Silicon Valley startup with a "Home Joy" app that tracks KPIs and ranks picking up dirty socks and wiping up kid's vomit vs. mowing the lawn to make sure that you have an equitable marriage.

My wife would rip me a new asshole if I proposed something like this, and she does most of the home activities while I make most of the money.
