He is great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-ratio-of-household-duties-between-you-and-your-so#post-743416 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 16:37:31 +0000 LuLu Mom 743416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me: 80%<br /> him: 20%</p> <p>I wish it would even out more, he will help when I ask, but overall the majority lands on me, he will entertain LO while I clean though, so at least I can go quicker than having to entertain her and clean at the same time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-ratio-of-household-duties-between-you-and-your-so#post-743359 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 16:25:53 +0000 lawbee11 743359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He does WAY more than me...especially now that I am pregnant! I would say 80% him / 20% me </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-ratio-of-household-duties-between-you-and-your-so#post-743355 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 16:25:28 +0000 Smurfette 743355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably 50/50. I do most on the inside but he does all the yard work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-ratio-of-household-duties-between-you-and-your-so#post-743306 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 16:14:24 +0000 citymouse 743306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think its pretty equal. 60-DH/40-Me. </p> <p>I make dinner, he does the dishes. I clean the whole house, he does all the laundry, does our bookkeeping and pays the bills. We both do yard work, although he does more. We talked about how we would split things before we got married and I think we have a good system. I am super thankful for him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-ratio-of-household-duties-between-you-and-your-so#post-743298 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 16:12:22 +0000 Boheme 743298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: hahaha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-ratio-of-household-duties-between-you-and-your-so#post-743296 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 16:11:33 +0000 oliviaoblivia 743296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>105%me<br /> 5% DH</p> <p>He is helpful in some areas, but is also responsible for far more of the mess. He often creates more work with his "helping".....so I get extra points. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-ratio-of-household-duties-between-you-and-your-so#post-743281 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 16:07:34 +0000 MrsBrewer 743281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ummm<br /> 90% me /10% him<br /> or<br /> 95% me/5% him<br /> Probably the last one </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-ratio-of-household-duties-between-you-and-your-so#post-743267 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 15:58:08 +0000 Cherrybee 743267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm, I kinda thought we were 50/50 but I've just asked him and he thinks he does more!!! He does a lot of the day to day stuff - he does more laundry than me and cooks more often but I do all the actual cleaning, the hoovering, cleaning the bathroom (things he thinks the fairies do, clearly!!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-ratio-of-household-duties-between-you-and-your-so#post-743230 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 15:52:21 +0000 lovehoneybee 743230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me: 90%<br /> Him 10%, and half of that is when I ask him to do something. </p> <p>He does always take out the trash/recycling and take care of the cat boxes. That's pretty much it, unless I ask him to do something else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-ratio-of-household-duties-between-you-and-your-so#post-743221 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 15:50:19 +0000 IRunForFun 743221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me: 50%<br /> SO: 50%</p> <p>It varies day to day and week to week, but overall, I think we both do pretty equal amounts of housework and cooking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-ratio-of-household-duties-between-you-and-your-so#post-743159 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 15:36:37 +0000 Boheme 743159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eh... It varies week to week! He is really good about noticing when I need a little extra help. I'd say we're about 50-50 but in the spring/summer he has a lot of hard outside chores like mowing our yard so then its like 60-him 40-me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-ratio-of-household-duties-between-you-and-your-so#post-743156 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 15:35:33 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 743156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>80% me, 20% him </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-ratio-of-household-duties-between-you-and-your-so#post-743155 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 15:35:24 +0000 loveisstrange 743155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me: 98%<br /> DH: 2% </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-ratio-of-household-duties-between-you-and-your-so#post-743151 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 15:34:57 +0000 MamaJ 743151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm 85% me and 15% DH.
