Chores DH handles (GTKY)

MrsTran021310 · January 2011

What chores does your DH do around the house?

And Go...

MrsTran021310 · January 2011

My husband mows, vacuums and does dishes (most of the time).

ETA: Taking out the trash & recycling. Thanks ladies I almost forgot.

Ladybug720 · January 2011

I am a SAHM so DH has minimal chores. His consist of 1) Taking out the trash 2) Fixing anything that needs to be fixed ect. and 3) Bathing the kids before bed.

btaylor19 · January 2011

Waaay more than I do. He has about a million times more energy so he does the dishes, mows the lawn or snowblows, gets the mail, takes out the trash, sweeps, mops, vacuums. Pretty much he does everything except the laundry and clean the bathrooms. I'm a lucky lucky woman. Big Smile

bump burp

btsrc5 · January 2011

none? just kidding

He does the yard work and takes the trash out. He also usually does the dishes after I cook every night.

I do all the laundry, cleaning, cooking, grocery shopping, finances/bills... yeah pretty much everything. HAHA

SkyBee · January 2011

Inside: sometimes vacuum and he takes out the garbage

Outside: pretty much everything except the vegetable garden! I am SO glad I don't have to haul hay!

skits_1 · January 2011

DH takes out the trash/recycling. He takes care of laundry and always helps with cooking/cleanup lunches. He also like to vacuum which I hate! Emptying the dishwasher us also something he likes. Ironing is also his! I take care if cleaning bathrooms, floors & dusting. I put away laundry and plan meals and do most of the shopping. Now that I write this out it dose t sound like I do a whole lot! Haha

dana1318a · January 2011

DH does most of the cooking and laundry, and most "outdoor" chores like shoveling, mowing grass, hanging christmas lights, etc.

Bubs101 · January 2011

I take care of most of the house chores. MH takes the trash out, mows the lawn, and does the handy-man stuff - anything that involves tools. lol.

ukcats27 · January 2011

He mows and fixes things. We share cooking, cleaning and laundry. He does more of it then I do though!

alison2379 · January 2011

My H is gone a lot for work and when he's here he works much longer hours than me, so I do most of the housework. But we do have cleaning ladies and a landscaper, so it's not that bad.

He does scoop up all the dog poop in the backyard twice a month (ugh), he does outdoor projects when they need to get done, and when the house needs a good cleaning in between cleaning lady visits, he's my man as I think he actually finds it relaxing!

Meanwhile, I cook, do the dishes, do the laundry, do most of the household errands, etc. But since he's not around to help a lot, I do have a handyman who helps me out with any repairs I need to get done without waiting until MH has time.

monkeypants23 · January 2011

I wish he did more! LOL

no he does all the outside stuff (mow lawn, take out garbage, snow, rake etc..)

inside he does the laundry and he'll clean up after dinner-clear table, put away leftovers and soak the dish- but i actually wash all the dishes. Man i need a DISHWASHER!!!!

cantalopes24 · January 2011

He cleans all the floors in the house, splits the laundry with me, carries the laundry up and down from the basement. He is responsible for carrying anything that weighs more than 15 or 20 pounds, getting out and putting away things in the basement, and carrying things in from the car. I pick him car up from work, run errands, then deliver his car back to him and when he gets home from work he carries the stuff in. We split the bedtime routine with E and he dusts, cleans our bathroom and the kitchen every other time. He is also responsible for any outdoor work on the house or yard except weeding.

GPhiBGirl · January 2011

DH does trash, mows, vaccums, and does the dishes if I cook. He'll also help me fold laundry on Sundays if I need it...

SParkman80 · January 2011

He does most of the cooking actually. He also does the dishes and takes out trash and changes light bulbs. I take care of mostly everything else which means calling my cleaning lady!

ccam · January 2011

DH takes care of most of the stuff outside and is pretty handy so he does any repairs or whatever. He also makes our lunches for work, washes the floors when needed and usually vacuums. Anytime I'm cleaning the entire house, he'll help me out. He occasionally helps cooking and doing the dishes, too.

tigerhearted · January 2011

Hubby mows the lawn, vacuums, loads the dishwasher (I empty it) and handwashes what doesn't go in the dishwasher, puts away his laundry, handles the 2 litter boxes, takes out the trash and recycling as well as drives them down to the street for trash pickup, and does most of the cooking and grocery shopping.

Then there's whatever happens to be on the honey-do list. And then there's the stuff we do together, like tidying up.

He used to be in charge of mopping too, but then I got my steam mop so I took over because I love to use it so much. XD

MrsTran021310 · January 2011

I'm actually surprised at how many husbands vacuum. I thought mine was the only one. And ya'lls husbands are making mine not seem so great. Sad I need to put him to work. LOL

(Just kidding BTW, he is wonderful.)

kujayhawkgirl · January 2011

Finances, yardwork, snow removal, fixing/renovating/upgrading the house (I help a little), taking out the trash, and we both cook. He ocassionally vacuums for me, too. I definitely do all the cleaning and laundry.

KaydensMommy42010 · January 2011

I'm home most of the day, I only work like two days a week at night but my fiance cleans the bathroom and takes out trash. He will vaccum sometimes also.

RNsteph09 · January 2011

He.. sweeps, mows and brings out the trash. Oh, and he does his own laundry.

Ricola · January 2011

MH cleans both bathrooms every week, while I do the rest of the house. He fixes everything that breaks in the house and he takes care of the yard (mowing and edging). Every once in a while he cooks and we share the trash duties. He also helps with folding the laundry.

sweet*pockets · January 2011

my husband does dishes, vacuuming, trash. bath time

I do laundry, kitchen (minus dishes) and general picking up. On major cleaning days, I do upstairs, and he does downstairs. Since we both work, its pretty 50/50.

LittleMissTink · January 2011

We have a rule in our house that the last one up has to make the bed. Sometimes it takes longer for DH to do this but he gets it done.

He is also way better at vacuuming than me he makes it look like a professional cleaning job I love it!

oliviosis · January 2011

We share almost everything but he does all the outside work and most of the vacuuming and I always clean the bathrooms (he doesn't do it right!!).

JSRICH · January 2011

MH takes out the trash, does the laundry, cooks, and does everything outside. I clean and feed the cats.

mdiblasi10 · January 2011

We actually share everything because at some point I help with his chores and he helps with mine. But mainly, he does dishes, mows the grass, cleans the kitty litter box and takes the trash cans out (I bring them in). I think we have a good balance.

gembley · January 2011

My dh does the dishwasher, bins, recycling, vacuuming and cleans the bathrooms so I think I am very lucky really

Babybear70 · January 2011

My DH works a lot so he doesn't have a whole lot of time to do a set of chores per se. But he does help me with whatever I put on his To Do list. One thing I can say is that whenever we eat dinner together at home, he always scrubs the dishes clean before I load them into the dishwasher. And he keeps our trucks running. I love my DH to death, but he isn't the most motivated person when it comes to stuff around the house. I'm slowly working on him, but I think he knows that it will change after we have a LO.

CLeigh03 · January 2011

He is entirely responsible for outside, which is a lot as we have a big yard, and garage type stuff. He also changes light bulbs and stuff like that. Oh, and takes the trash out! He is very helpful.

liz_t · January 2011

50/50 on cleaning

We each do our own laundry

He pays the household bills & I pay the mortgage

He feeds the cats, does the litter & does all the outside stuff

.....reading this makes me realize that he probably does more than me Embarrassed I need to step it up!

StephRuns · January 2011

Trash and dishes sometimes. He also takes the dogs out more than I do.

tblauvelt · January 2011

Mows the lawn, shovels snow, takes out the trash, cleans the toilets (for this I call him my toilet fairy), fixes broken things, walks the dogs when it's cold out, and cleans dishes after dinner when I cook (it's an agreement we have, whoever cooks the other person cleans). I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting, though.

izzyj04 · January 2011

DH does all the outside work (mow, rake. shovel, etc.) but he doesn't do much inside.

Inside - he takes the garbage out, loads the dishwasher sometimes, he may put a load in the washer, clean the bathrooms once every couple of months, and he knows how to press start on the roomba.

I'm starting to think he needs to do more.

partymama · January 2011

Mine works anywhere between 96-120 hours/week, so he is not home much. He does however, help out quite a bit where he can: maintenance, dishes, finances, and will help clean if I leave him something to do during the day. I take care of all the deep cleaning, most cooking, grocery shopping and laundry. I hate folding clothes, so if he is home, he will help me with that.

bfernz · January 2011

Since we got married in August, my DH feels obligated to handle the killing of any bug, insects. LOL

jkitty520 · January 2011

My husband mows, and handles *almost* all the outside yard work, he's been going room by room and remodeling/upgrading/fixing our house since we've lived there, (and for that I am eternally grateful), he handles any car maintenance/problems, and...that's about it?

I cook, do the dishes (he will surprise me about 2-3 times a month and do the dishes when they get so bad and I let them sit for several days, but i am the daily dish-doer) laundry (laundry I have claimed as my own - I don't like how he does it. LOL!), clean all the bathrooms, kitchen, and really any room, I take out the trash and recycling and usually I am the litter box cleaner, (but OH BOY will I be cashing in on that one when I get KU). So, really, I handle most of the house chores and he handles the outside chores.

KatieBride06 · January 2011

i have no complaints in the yard work and handy man department. he's great around the house. but he loathes cleaning. we're trying to work on that

he's good with dishes.

psychgirl33 · January 2011

Inside: Vacuums and takes out the trash and helps sometimes with other little things.

Outside: Everything except the flower beds.

I do most of the rest of it. We split the "handyman" duties. I'm fairly handy myself and only ask for help if it's something I can't do or I'm tired or low on time to get stuff done.

ETA: He also does all of the working on the cars other than oil and tires (he's a mechanic). That can be a pretty big chore, but saves us a lot of money over the course of each year!

ClaraEarlene · January 2011

I don't know how I got so lucky, but my DH cooks every night (healthy stuff; he even calculates the Weight Watchers points for me), washes the dishes every night, takes out the garbage, hauls the garbage to the curb, does all the grocery shopping (a chore I hate), and does his own laundry. In turn, I do my own laundry, do all of the weekend cleaning (bathroom, vaccuming, dusting, scrubbing floors, etc), and let him control the remote (most of the time).
