honey-do list

Partner's task queue

A honey-do list is a set of household chores or repair tasks that one spouse assigns to the other—typically a wife to a husband.

The name comes from requests beginning "Honey, do this..." The term carries a mildly humorous or resigned tone: I spent Saturday working through my honey-do list.
