      Me time has turned into me chore?

      When hubby gets his ME time, he only does one thing -100% attention on the ME time activity which could be watching F1, reading fiction novels or watching YouTube videos.

      Whereas I will be multi-tasking- ironing clothes/ folding clothes/ etc n watching KD drama at the same time.

      Life is not fair.

      I decided to make it less unfair- he will iron his clothes on Sunday from last week on.

          It's a man-woman thing? In general, my observation is that women just naturally and, out of necessity, multitask better than men. As long as my husband does his share of tasks (which in our partnership, are different from mine), I don't care whether he multitasks or does them sequentially, as long as they get done in the end.

                But not all women multitask well either - my older daughter can't! Asking her to do more than 1 thing at a time just stresses her and in the end nothing gets done properly. But I think it's generally true.

Who does not like this type of ME time? I also want to RR peacefully.
