Intra-household bargaining

Intra-household bargaining is when two people living in the same house (like a mum and dad or two siblings) talk to each other about what they should do. For example, a mum and dad might talk about who will cook dinner for the night or when one parent should take the kids to the park. It's like we're bargaining with each other to make sure everyone is happy and get the things done that need to be done. It's important to figure out a way that works for everyone in the house.
