  Fair Play Explained: How Couples Can Divide Household Responsibilities More Fairly

  Aug 18, 202638 minS1

  Welcome to the Modern Husbands podcast, where any combination of Dr. Bruce Ross, Christian Sherrill, and Brian Page host national experts who share winning ideas to manage money and the home as a team. This is part two of a real world facilitation of the Fair Play system. In our first episode, we learned about Brian and Lucy McAffee’s home dynamics. You likely found that, when it came to the division of labor and obstacles couples face, that some of their challenges are challenges you face in your family. We then discussed the guiding principles of the Fair Play system and started working through it. This is part two of the two part series. Today’s episode, from start to finish, is a real world facilitation of the Fair Play system. Lucy McAfee is the host of The ManFlu podcast and founder of Boys Who Care. Her husband, Brian McAfee, is a professional sports gambler. They live in Lake Tahoe with their two sons. You can find more from Lucy and The ManFlu podcast on Instagram @lucypmcafee. As a reminder from our first episode, we left off at the point where Lucy had selected five Fair Play cards, household tasks if you will, based on the following criteria: They were low stakes tasks, allowing Lucy to be more comfortable handing them off. They were tasks she did not enjoy. They were regular tasks, not one-offs like cleaning the gutters. Brian is now beginning to select the three tasks he will own from Lucy’s selections. #fairplay #chores #divisionoflabor #mentalload Subscribe or follow Modern Husbands on social media!
