But I have NEVER mowed the lawn! DH always does it. Muahaha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-shovels#post-1284159 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 12:18:07 +0000 artsyfartsy 1284159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We get plenty of snow but we don't have to shovel! We have a gravel driveway, so we would probably just shovel the whole driveway away. It's not hard to drive over if we need to get out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-shovels#post-1284051 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 11:52:05 +0000 wonderstruck 1284051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raspberries: That was another reason I started taking over the lawn mowing this summer...figured it was a convenient way to work off some baby weight while getting something done! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-shovels#post-1284036 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 11:48:52 +0000 raspberries 1284036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Holy cow, am I the only one who does it all the time?! I LOVE snow shoveling - it's such a great work out. Then again, I insist on mowing the lawn with our push mower too - any kind of workout that doesn't involve the monotony of gym equipment is fine by me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-shovels#post-1284035 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 11:48:36 +0000 LuLu Mom 1284035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It used to be both of us, but now with LO he does it all while we watch from the window and LO knocks on it to say hi :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-shovels#post-1284005 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 11:40:36 +0000 NurseMommy 1284005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crisark: I have also never mowed the lawn. Wouldn't even know where to start! </p> <p>In previous years my DH has done the vast majority of the shovelling, but since I'm at home with our LO this year, I've been doing 90% of it. It's silly, but it makes me proud to see a nice clean sidewalk amidst two feet of snow. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-shovels#post-1283995 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 11:37:55 +0000 wonderstruck 1283995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crisark: I had never mowed the lawn until this past summer! I was so anxious to have some alone time after being alone with baby for 11 hours a day that when DH came home from work and wanted to go right back out to mow the lawn, I would volunteer to do it instead! Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-shovels#post-1283924 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 11:15:03 +0000 Crisark 1283924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: @Sammyfab: Woohoo I'm not a freak! Score :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-shovels#post-1283918 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 11:13:44 +0000 Sammyfab 1283918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted DH, but I shovel our back deck and walkway from the garage often since that's how we get into our house and I'm usually home first. My husband does everything else (front of the house, driveway, etc.).</p> <p>@Crisark: I've NEVER mowed the lawn...ever! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-shovels#post-1283898 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 11:09:54 +0000 .twist. 1283898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crisark: lol! I don't think I've ever mowed a lawn! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-shovels#post-1283857 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 11:03:00 +0000 MrsTal 1283857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually DH will do it but I will help out occasionally if there is a lot of snow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-shovels#post-1283848 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 11:01:39 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1283848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neither of us have to! If it did snow here it would probably be DH since he does all the other outdoor chores. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-shovels#post-1283728 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 10:38:33 +0000 MrsBrewer 1283728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both do it. If he's home we will normally both go out and shovel to get it done faster! If I'm gone, he'll take care of it and same if hes working and I'm home, I will just do it!</p> <p>It's a REALLY good workout! I'm still sore from Saturday actually! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-shovels#post-1283710 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 10:32:20 +0000 mrsjyw 1283710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH runs the snow blower and plows usually. </p> <p>I have done it in the past on my wfh days and such, just with a shovel-- it's my cardio ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-shovels#post-1283703 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 10:30:23 +0000 rachiecakes 1283703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually do the stairs and DH does digs out the cars and shovels out our spots.<br /> We live in a rental and they take care of it, but usually we need to leave the house before they get to us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-shovels#post-1283700 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 10:29:34 +0000 wonderstruck 1283700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It used to just totally depend on when it started snowing, who was home from work first, etc. Now that we have LO and I'm a SAHM I usually end up doing it because I feel guilty if DH comes home from a 10 hour shift at his always on his feet physical job and then has to shovel snow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-shovels#post-1283687 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 10:24:34 +0000 .twist. 1283687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband shovels snow for a living lol. So he does it most of the time, but I will do it if he's super busy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-shovels#post-1283665 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 10:20:03 +0000 lemondrop 1283665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't get snow here, but when we lived in Colorado, it all depended who was working and when. Whoever worked first would clear just enough to get their car out and warn the other about shoveling. Then the person who works later finished the job. If we were both off, we both shoveled together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-shovels#post-1283559 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 09:46:44 +0000 yoursilverlining 1283559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a snow-blower which takes care of most of the snow. We both use it; although I like to do it because 1) I feel like it’s a good workout and makes me feel all “rawr, girl power, I did it!” and 2) I’m anal about clearing our driveway and my husband is….not. </p> <p>We both shovel/sweep the snow from the front porch; I don’t mind doing that either because we get a lot of packages delivered and again, I’m anal about clearing enough space and clearly really well for the delivery man while my husband is not (we’ve gotten nasty-grams from the USPS about clearing our porch when only my husband does it! Lol) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-shovels#post-1283531 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 09:32:59 +0000 LovelyPlum 1283531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both do it, usually, or whoever gets home first in time to deal with it. Since I've been pregnant, though, DH has insisted that he do it. He's a keeper :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-shovels#post-1283528 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 09:31:54 +0000 Charm54 1283528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is out with the snow blower as we speak :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-shovels#post-1283511 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 09:24:57 +0000 Crisark 1283511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never done it lol I also have only mowed the grass once in my 31yrs lol<br /> I guess I'm spoiled :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-shovels#post-1283482 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 09:11:41 +0000 yerpie110 1283482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH does, and on rare occasions, I'll help. I don't mind, but he insists on shoveling and well, I let him :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-shovels#post-1283476 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 09:08:59 +0000 blackbird 1283476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used to do it together....then I didn't touch it while pregnant and I haven't since having the baby since someone has to watch her. I think he considers it his exercise lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-shovels#post-1283468 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 09:05:36 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1283468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH usually does (we have a snow blower he uses if there is a lot). I would shovel sometimes, but now that I'm pregnant he will NOT let me. He's so afraid I'm going to slip! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-shovels#post-1283467 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 09:03:30 +0000 bpcmarj 1283467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH does most of it, but our complex plows and shovels the walkways. The only thing we have to do is play tetris with the cars so that our spot gets plowed. But, we only get a couple of good snows a year, really. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-shovels#post-1283439 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 08:45:23 +0000 Reese 1283439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow. You ladies are making me feel bad! - I have never done it. In all fairness, I think DH would take it as an insult if I did it. He really enjoys doing the "around the house" stuff </p>
