Douglas is quick to see the error of his ways after being gently prompted by Kondo, who asks Katrina why she has to do everything. “Really everyone in the family should take some responsibility for the space,” Kondo says. Katrina realizes she isn’t failing, she’s just taking on (or being tasked with) too much, and Douglas and the kids also see how unfair that is. They decide to divvy up chores and pull their weight around the house. She’s not only less stressed, but also feels like she’s doing a better job at another key mom role: preparing her kids for adulthood.
