This gets something on paper, but it still leaves too much room for assumption or ambiguity.
Child care during agreed hours, child-related cleanup, and outing prep are included.
Non-child household tasks require separate discussion, not silent assumption.
Daily urgent updates by text; weekly summary on Friday.
This version makes the issue clearer, more usable, and easier to act on.
Primary responsibility is child care, transitions, school prep, outings, and child-related cleanup. Any broader household support is discussed separately and not implied by default.
Shared-space behavior, fridge use, schedule changes, privacy expectations, and what counts as an actual emergency are all named ahead of time.
Same-day updates for meaningful incidents or schedule changes, plus one structured weekly summary to reduce missing context.
Clarify the standards, expectations, and decisions a strong caregiver-family agreement should make visible early.
