My mother once told me a story about Labor Day. Seems her father, a farmer, and her uncle were talking about the day. Her father said, “Well, Charles, what are you going to do for Labor Day?” and Uncle Charles, being a farmer, too, said, “Well, I guess I’ll just do some more labor.”
I have reached the point in my life where I can afford to substitute capital for labor. No way am I going to climb up on a two-story roof to clean the roof and gutters!

Speaking as someone who does half of those chores herself, I don’t see why she can’t split the jobs with him.

My wife and I have this worked out, I’m Mr. Outside, and she is Ms. Inside, except for the things she doesn’t want to do. See, easy peasy.
