What chores does your husband do?

DH and I treat most things as a team... whether we tag team... we work together. I might have to ask him a couple times to do something or get something... but it doesn't get to nagging...

He does the boys/school routine in the morning. I do after school/homework. We both cook, and usually cook together. Sometimes the kids join in. We also have a cleaning service every 2 weeks. We came to the conclusion that our time is better doing other things... and not getting stressed about cleaning. We both keep things pretty neat between visits - or at least we clean a little before she comes, lol!

Things that we each kind of stick to... he does lawn/maintenance... while I do bills. Other than that, we are pretty down the middle with everything. We also get our boys involved with a bunch of things. We are pretty transparent - so my oldest has helped me with the bills before. They empty the dishwasher, help cook, dust, and we've started laundry with them. It's a team effort... and I want them to learn that way too!
 
My husband does the laundry, always has. We divide dishes. He typically takes out the garbage. We split the floors. I do bathrooms and all grocery shopping and meals. We actually argue over who gets to mow the grass. I like to do it, he thinks I shouldn't. Same with shoveling the driveway in the winter . . . I think he is actually embarrassed when the neighbors see me doing this. He's old fashioned that way (chuckle). I take care of all mail and bill paying too . . . that's a BIG chore right? He cleans up dog poop, I get the cat box. I think that I do a little bit more, but I know that if I asked him to do something, he would in a heartbeat.
 
my hubby do chores ROFLMAO ... yeah right!

Since I'm a SAHM right now I do most of the chores at home, but he does help when there's a more thorough cleaning needed in the house. He will take out the garbage and mow the lawn/ do yard work. My daughter is in charge of her own laundry and her rooms upstairs.
 
i'm a SAHM and my husband works a lot of hours, so he doesn't really do any household chores at all. he will of course help me when i have stuff i need carried down to the basement or something like that - but he doesn't really clean/laundry/cook/etc. he does love to take the kids to the park and stuff though - so on weekends if i need time alone to get something done he is happy to help keep the kids occupied and having fun :)
 
I am pretty lucky in this regard! My husband does all the laundry - but we split the other inside stuff pretty evenly. We get the kids to do a fair amount also (clean bathroom counters, vacuum, etc) - he does all the outside work & I pay the bills. Truth be told, I think I have the better end of the deal - but don't tell him I said that please!
 
I don't have a husband now, but for all 12 years I was together with Sarita's dad, he did pretty much everything needed, he was an excellent cook, we worked together for a long time, we would do the stuff in the house together- There were times when I started working for the Government here and had shifts that could go on for 16 hours (but the money was great) he would do everything in the house and look after Sarita, change nappies...everything needed... He taught me how to cook the best English meals and well, he was a diamond until he was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and decided to drink himself to oblivion-
We had a carer paiud by the goverment until recently, not at the moment-
Sarita does quiet a lot, but at times it takes me getting to the verge of the nervous break down and threaten to trake all devices for her to do stuff...she always leaves stuff to very last minute...oh well teenagers...right?:giggle
 
My guy is pretty helpful... sometimes... and a complete lazy bum other times.

I know he'll do laundry. And yard work. And maintenance stuff around the house.

I do bills, grocery, and 90% of the cleaning, and the rest of the laundry that he doesn't get to.
 
My husband always did the yard work, washing clothes, vacuuming, and cooking. I did dishes, folding/putting away laundry, dusting, paying bills, groceries, bathrooms.


Unfortunately, he has had three back surgeries in a year and now has a heart condition... so.... he does a fantastic job watching me do all of the above. LOL!
