Hellobee Boards

I do everything except take out the trash. He'll do anything if I ask for help though. Since I'm pregnant he's been vacuuming for me. I mostly feel like I should do it all because I stay home.

Honestly? DH does most of the cleaning. This is what I usually do: All laundry, vaccuming, car maintenance (meaning, I'm the one responsible for taking it in for OTHER people to maintain...lol) DH does everything else, which he is fine with since he actually likes to clean! Weeeeirdo!! lol. I really appreciate it, though.

We rent, so there's no yardwork.

Edit - I should mention that I do all meal-planning and cooking, too. So I guess that counts for something

DH kills bugs, hangs things/does any repair work that needs doing and that we're capable of, takes out the trash when I ask, and vacuums when I ask. Everything else I do. I'm a SAHW so I feel it's a fair trade.

I do the general cleaning (straightening up, dusting, floors); laundry, deep cleaning (wiping down the walls, windows in & out, cleaning the fridge, etc.) and i usually end up weeding too. Plus meal planning, all of the grocery shopping and I pay all of our bills.

We *do* have a cleaning lady coming every other week now, starting this week, so I am hoping that will help!

He mows the yard, washes the dog & clips her toenails, and takes care of the pool and changes the oil in our cars. Sometimes he runs the sweeper.

We try to swap cooking & cleaning up after dinner.

He takes out the trash, and I do everything else. I'm not working right now, though, so doing all of the housework is how I contribute. When we both work, we share more chores.

@mrbee: it is seriously the single most important thing he does in our home (IMO)--I am petrified of bugs!

@hilsy85: we were at the zoo last week, and whiel in the butterfly room thingy with the free flying butterflies, I was interested, but when the started to land on people, I was OUT of there!! I don't care if they are pretty, they are still bugs and I don't want them to touch me!

For chores, since I SAH for now, I do most of the household chores. DH does yardwork (lawns, weeding gardens, pooper scooping) and handy work around the house. He also cooks breakfast on weekends and cleans up after dinner every night.

I do laundry, floors, dusting, vacuuming, bathrooms and stuff like that. He will help out when he's home or if we're having company over and we need to make the house company ready.

We split... I may be a SAHM but I feel like it's a full time job too and I really appreciate the help and effort from DH.

We take turns doing kitchen/dishes/sweeping.

I usually clean the bathrooms, but he would if I asked him to. We share laundry - I usually do mine and he does his. Now that we're in an apartment I may end up doing most of it. Today was laundry day and while DS napped we folded laundry and watched TV haha fun

We also share cooking responsibilities.

DH mows the yard and does general upkeep outside. I help weed sometimes. He also does the dishes and vacuums when the dog hair bothers him.

I cook and do laundry.

We both take care of the dogs and cat.

We have a cleaning person who come every other week for the rest.

Well... hmm.... Let's see:

We both work full time. I take care of most of the finances, DH pays a couple of the bills direct from his account. I do most of the dog care including poop scooping the yard. I do all cleaning - with the exception about about two loads of washing up per week and the odd spurt of laundry (if I've slacked a bit and he's run out of socks). We share the cooking and do the grocery shopping together. I do all the gardening (and I can't keep up). We look after our own cars. DH does a lot of DIY - I help where I can (but I'm awful at it).

I do moan about it, really. I feel like I'd like him to do more around the house. I mean, DH would do anything I asked of him (except the gardening or poop scooping, they're a no-no) but he does have to be asked, usually, and I tend to work myself into a strop before asking (which results in an argument).
