I don't know. I think I'd rather try and be a slob and get away with it first...heh
Now seriously, it seems fair that both are contributing in the house. Though sometimes it's not easy to keep to "the rules". I mean, tell me, when you're at work, is every day as productive as the next? Are you always doing what you're supposed to do?
What if the girl hates housework? And she has no-one over her shoulder telling her to get on with it (this in comparison to a job where you work for someone else)? What would you do if you, the guy, came home, and she was still in her pajamas and had decided to do nothing for the day? Hmmm?
I agree that flexibility would be important here. Life is not black and white...

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
