Just take the note. Don’t argue.
When he gives you a note, don’t get defensive. Don’t make excuses. Don’t remind him of everything he does wrong. Just smile and take it. If he asks if you could empty the dish drainer a bit more because he’s been doing it every day for weeks, don’t remind him that you do most of the laundry. That gets you nowhere. Just smile and say, “Sure thing.” Later, at a different time (so it doesn’t feel like you’re keeping score), you can bring up the laundry.
