Who does what chores in your house?

Just curious.

DH takes out the trash. He does other stuff too, but usually only when I ask!

I do the majority of the cooking (although DH enjoys this too), the floors, the baby care, and the laundry.

I'm glad that I have a DH that is willing, I just wish I had one that noticed things that needed to be done!

    Mine will do things when asked as well... and he'll do EVERYTHING.  But I wish he just noticed things needed to be done as well..

    Well, I take that back, he's started to clean all the bottles, nipples and pump parts every morning when he takes Cami and lets me sleep!  That's been REALLY nice!

    I clean and cook, strip the beds, sort the laundry

    He vacuums and does the trash and dishes and switches the laundry and folds it, I put it away.

    I do bed duty, he does morning duty

    We split the errands.

    If we work together the more time we have together as a family.

    Everything else is whoever sees it to be done.

    He takes out the trash, feeds and walks Major (it's too hot for family walks). I cook, which I don't mind, I enjoy it. We share laundry and cleaning.

    It is a PITA that I have to ask him to do things though, I wish he magically did it, you know, like I do.

    Everything inside: me (cooking, cleaning, laundry, baby, shopping, etc.)

    Everything outside: DH (vehichles/boats, yard, house repairs, etc.)

    DH takes out trash & recycling. I work part-time so he takes care of DS while I'm at work. He also cooks & does laundry occasionally. Oh, and the yard work.

    My marriage is far from perfect, but this is one area we've got totally under control!  DH cleans the downstairs (living room and office) and I clean the upstairs (kitchen, dining room, bathroom and bedrooms).  This works because I'm anal about disinfecting and DH is not!  DH also takes care of the landscaping while I do most of the baby care.  We do our own laundry and we split the cooking and dishes.  We also do chores as a family, such as going to the dump and grocery shopping.  Works for us!

    Great - typing this really made me realize I need to do more!

    DH: most cooking, cleans kitchen, yard work, midnight feedings, all laundry (I only have to put my own away),

    Me: occasional cooking, cleans bathrooms and bedrooms, strips the bed

    Both: clean baby bottles, prep formula, vacuuming.

    We are both at home right now; so we take turns taking care of DS and the other goes out for some 'me-time'.

    Dh does all of the yard stuff, all of the floors, about half of the cooking and his fair share of the baby chores.  Oh, and he's in charge of the diaper champ getting emptied.  I do the rest, but it doesn't seem like that much to me . . . except the laundry that is.  Oh, how I hate the laundry

    DH:  Feeds the birds and cleans the bird cage.  Mows the lawn, although it hasn't rained in weeks, so I think he did that a grand total of one time this summer.  He also does stuff if I ask him to.

    Me:  Everything else, inside and out.  But I'm a SAHM, so I consider all that to be my "job" anyway.
