Well, in some cases, you can take out the trash, do the dishes every night after she cooks, handle every bath night (and associated pick-up of bath toys and exchange of wet mats for dry ones), vacuum, feed the toddler at dinner before eating yourself, put the folded laundry away, stay up later to handle the toddler if he wakes up/cries out so she can sleep, make/pour coffee every morning, pick up the living room toys/clutter every night, clean the toilet, and do some occasional laundry and its still not good enough to merit the "cookie" because you haven't dusted the shutters, wiped down the kitchen counters, cooked any meals, made the kindergartner's lunch, engaged in meal planning, switched out the kitchen and bathroom towels for fresh ones or something else.
