I’m Done With the Household Duty Disparity

My husband went away and left me a list of jobs

My husband has gone away for four nights with some friends. He’s packed a heck of a lot of beer and some fishing rods, so, I think he’ll be extremely drunk and starving as I’ve never, ever seen him catch a fish before. He’s spending his time on a houseboat in a stunning location off the east coast of Australia. I’m only slightly (a lot) jealous.

Anyways, he left the house before 6am this morning and when I got out of bed, I saw that he had written me a note outlining the jobs I needed to do whilst he was away. What a thoughtful soul.

It wasn’t a long list; however, it was fairly detailed. I am to feed the fish twice a day, one of these feedings should be at precisely 5pm and I also need to give our budgies some fresh water and seed. See below instructions.

I’m feeling a little under pressure with these responsibilities. They are significant and time-consuming tasks and I’m not quite sure that I’m up to the challenge. Can I keep these animals alive for four whole days without his help?
