communication.

So back to what I said earlier, if you have boundaries, if you have boundaries, if you can hold your boundaries, your partner says to you, Nicole, I may not be doing everything right, but I do see your time is equal to my time.

We both just get 24 hours in a day and I want you to have time choice over how you use that.

That's boundaries plus systems.

So fair play is a system.

Most people I would say who aren't even using Fair Play who say they have a system, it ends up looking like Fair Play because it's a system that most organizations use.

Like Steve Jobs came up with something called the DRI, the directly responsible individual, very similar to Fair Play.

A lot of companies use these racy frameworks where someone is responsible for the task.

Doesn't mean you can't include other people in the planning, but you hold the responsibility.

So it's not,

New or novel.

Fair play is not a new or novel system.

It's just bringing these amazing concepts into the home.

So that would be the systems.

And then communication.

So to me, that's the formula where I see, okay, this couple is going to make it.

I don't care about 50-50.

I want to know that you say my partner is open to me holding my boundaries, to implementing some sort of systems so we know what to do in advance and we're not waiting to take the dog out when it's about to take a pee on the rug.

And there is some communication practice in the home.

I just want to say something because you were asking earlier about coming into these conversations.
