He is also in charge of oil changes/car maintenence and the banking! The banking is a HUGE one that I could never do! We split dishes and I do most of the rest.. cleaning, organizing, grocery trips. I also do the cooking but I enjoy that (for the most part) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-mommy-jobs-and-daddy-jobs-in-your-house#post-324473 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 13:13:55 +0000 heffalump 324473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and no. For the most part I do things like laundry, cooking, changing poopy diapers, etc. and he does yard work, takes out trash, car maintenance, etc. </p> <p>But if I need help with laundry he'll do it. We're not strict on our roles. , </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-mommy-jobs-and-daddy-jobs-in-your-house#post-324311 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 12:20:17 +0000 photojane 324311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>since i only work a few hours a week and he works full time, i do most everything around the house. he takes the trash out and takes the can to the curb, but i do just about everything else. he would cut the grass, but we pay someone to do it since we have a huge yard. i definitely don't mind since he's contributing so much more financially. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-mommy-jobs-and-daddy-jobs-in-your-house#post-324271 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 12:01:58 +0000 Honeybee 324271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Pretty much whomever is available has to do the work, and we end up switching off a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-mommy-jobs-and-daddy-jobs-in-your-house#post-324174 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 11:00:11 +0000 pinkcupcake 324174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! Didn't set out to do it but it just kinda happened. He deals with garbage, cars, yard work, maintainence, and usually vacuums. I clean, organize, laundry, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-mommy-jobs-and-daddy-jobs-in-your-house#post-324126 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 10:42:27 +0000 Running Elley 324126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yepp! He takes care of the yard, takes out the trash, washes the cars, does any maintenance that needs to be done, etc. I cook, clean the bathrooms, clean the floors/rest of the house, do the laundry. He'll usually clean up the dishes after dinner. Whoever is thinking about it takes care of the dishwasher.</p> <p>It's just the way things work best around here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-mommy-jobs-and-daddy-jobs-in-your-house#post-324123 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 10:41:38 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 324123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: seriously taking out the giant sausage of diapers is so hard! And heavy! I could never do it alone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-mommy-jobs-and-daddy-jobs-in-your-house#post-324090 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 10:30:41 +0000 yoursilverlining 324090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband does most of the cleaning and I managed to convince him that changing the diaper-genie is a "dad job"! Muawahahahaha!!!</p> <p>My only real "mom job" is making LO's bottles because Im the only one who gets all the formula clumps out (I am obsessive about those darn clumps!). I also vacuum usually because I like to vacuum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-mommy-jobs-and-daddy-jobs-in-your-house#post-324086 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 10:29:57 +0000 mrsjyw 324086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep! didn't do it on purpose, just kinda fell into place... i usually cook and do laundry, and usually the dishes too, he does outside labor/taking trash/vacuums. we split doing dog duty and getting things ready for work like setting the coffee, etc.</p> <p>we usually go grocery shopping together; he likes to take his time though and i'm an in&amp;out grocery shopper! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-mommy-jobs-and-daddy-jobs-in-your-house#post-324080 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 10:27:24 +0000 DillonLion 324080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: Ha I hate grocery shopping with DH. He always rushes me!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-mommy-jobs-and-daddy-jobs-in-your-house#post-324072 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 10:25:14 +0000 DillonLion 324072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! Pretty much the traditional split. DH does yard work/trash/pet care/maintenance/car and I do indoor stuff - dusting/mopping/bathrooms (ICK)/laundry</p> <p>Although DH has been picking up my slack as I get more and more pregnant - mainly with dishes and laundry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-mommy-jobs-and-daddy-jobs-in-your-house#post-324069 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 10:24:25 +0000 Mrs. Pen 324069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsdaredevil: we go grocery shopping together!</p> <p>I usually ask DH to do the dishes because I hate them.</p> <p>I don't think he's ever cleaned the bathroom since we've been married, so that's my job. Most everything else we take turns. I always have to ask him to do things though, he doesn't just do them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-mommy-jobs-and-daddy-jobs-in-your-house#post-324066 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 10:23:08 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 324066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, grocery shopping is also a mommy job. My husband would come home with all the wrong stuff if I sent him to the store by himself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-mommy-jobs-and-daddy-jobs-in-your-house#post-324061 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 10:21:39 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 324061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do! In our house, mowing the lawn, cleaning the gutters, taking out the diaper genie and refilling it, washing dishes and loading the dishwasher (he redoes it every time I try and load) are "daddy jobs."</p> <p>Cleaning the bathroom, folding laundry, dusting, organizing, and vacuuming are "mommy jobs."</p> <p>We didn't purposely create individual chores for ourselves, it just worked out that way! What about you? </p>
