夫妻之争 Couple Fighting 2018-12-06

实用句子：

A: What is with the mess? I thought you said you were going to clean.

B: Cut me some slack. I had a tough day at work. 

A: So tough that you cannot hang up your jacket? Please. Spare me the excuses. And it looks like you did not make dinner, either. Do I have to do everything around here? 

B: Here we go again. 

A: Are you trying to pick a fight?

B: Look. I know you are tired with the kids and work, but I have got a lot on my plate as well. So I think you should just calm down and have a cup of hot chocolate. 

A: I am clam. Do not tell me to calm down. And do not brush off what I say.  

A: I want you to be more considerate and do your share around the house. We both work, so it is only right and fair that we split the chores. 

B: Yeah. I will work on that, but in return, I want you to ease up on me sometimes.
