    I have a friend who’s wife refuses to let anyone in the house do chores because “Nobody does it the right way”. Then gets completely overwhelmed with the amount of chores she has to do, and takes it out on my friend.

    She seems to completely miss the point of teaching people “the right way” or “practice”.

    My kids are expected to do a chore a day, I have a list of available options with the only rule that most things can only be done once a week. I don’t need the windows wiped down every single day, but Dishes and Laundry are always available. Even if they do something poorly, it is less than it was before and eventually they will get it done correctly.
