Maybe it's 85/15? Even when he grills I end up making side dishes. psw27 on "How are the cooking duties distributed in your household?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-the-cooking-duties-distributed-in-your-household/page/2#post-2163640 Fri, 01 May 2015 09:27:50 +0000 psw27 2163640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 95% me, 5% DH.

I rarely cook his food, but I'm usuallyr putting together my own breakfast and sometimes lunch, and I usually am in charge of lo's meals (if it's leftovers or something like a pouch or yogurt, then it's not really "cooking ") looch on "How are the cooking duties distributed in your household?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-the-cooking-duties-distributed-in-your-household/page/2#post-2163356 Fri, 01 May 2015 06:16:45 +0000 looch 2163356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I think we're about 50-50.

There have been stretches of time where the roles are reversed. It'll probably become more 50/50 after he finishes grad school in a few weeks! sandy on "How are the cooking duties distributed in your household?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-the-cooking-duties-distributed-in-your-household/page/2#post-2163045 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 20:35:51 +0000 sandy 2163045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 99% me and 1% DH (mostly grilling). To be fair I enjoy making the food I want to eat (the way I like it) and he's not particular about it at all. Also, I like being in the kitchen reyorra on "How are the cooking duties distributed in your household?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-the-cooking-duties-distributed-in-your-household/page/2#post-2163003 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 20:11:50 +0000 reyorra 2163003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 93% me, 7% him Most nights (especially in the summer), I'm home by myself with the kids. Even when he's home, I do most of the cooking, but if he's home, he'll help with the dishes. Lately, he's taken to cooking breakfast and will sometimes make grilled cheese for lunch for us.

He will occasionally make eggs on the weekends but it's almost always me. I do all the grocery shopping since I sah (though I did when I worked too). I wish he would be more proactive with the dishes though. regberadaisy on "How are the cooking duties distributed in your household?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-the-cooking-duties-distributed-in-your-household#post-2162813 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 18:31:26 +0000 regberadaisy 2162813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Right now it's 85% me and 15% him because of his work schedule and I'm home. But he loves to cook and is an amazing cook. If he had it his way it would be more 60/40 him!

It usually ends up this way bc he prefers to cook (and is probably the better cook) while I entertain the kids. DS still has a big mommy preference haha. Then, I do the dishes/cleanup and DH plays with the kids when they're happy with full bellies :P WinterBee on "How are the cooking duties distributed in your household?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-the-cooking-duties-distributed-in-your-household#post-2162646 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 15:36:31 +0000 WinterBee 2162646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DH cooks about 95% of the time, but I do 95% of the cleaning.

Right now I have steak tips marinating which he will grill tonight, so I guess that's him. If he's home early afternoon he will watch the kids while I cook - which makes it a much nicer experience. @BananaPancakes: I totally agree with you! The meal planning is the biggest pain. youboots on "How are the cooking duties distributed in your household?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-the-cooking-duties-distributed-in-your-household#post-2162632 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 15:28:32 +0000 youboots 2162632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 60/40.

He's great :heart: . mrs.shinerbock on "How are the cooking duties distributed in your household?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-the-cooking-duties-distributed-in-your-household#post-2162553 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 14:44:53 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2162553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 70% me, 30% DH. He does all breakfasts because he wants to eat eggs every morning and 1. I don't like them that much and 2. I leave the house before he is even up on work days. I do all dinners, lunches and any extras.

But that might be generous. Interestingly, when we were dating, I almost never cooked for him. He was only working part-time (waiting to start grad school) and I was super busy, so he often brought me dinner. Now I prefer he spends that time with DS (who I see most of the day), while I cook.

But I wouldn't mind it in the least if he would ever give me an opinion about what to make. Making the decision is the worst part of it!
