Actually, this is a reincarnation of the chores schedule. The original version had more free nights, but that was before Pumpkin decided that only Mommy could get her to sleep. The chores schedule went on hiatus when I was pregnant and too sick and then too tired to do much of anything.
So right now, Hubby is just happy to have me back in the rotation for dishes and/or bath!
There is some hope for changing a non-list person into a list person. When I met Hubby, he wasn't a list person. Now, he writes our weekend to do list more often than I do.
It does help, though, that Hubby tends to think weekends are for chores. In fact, the chores schedule originally came into being because I wanted some non-chores time on the weekends. Hubby went along with the idea at first just to humor me- this was during my extreme sleep deprivation stage, and he had enough sense not to irritate me if he could avoid it. But then he was won over, because it really did decrease the friction over chores and give us at least the illusion of having more free time.
Good luck finding a system that works for you and your husband.
