there should be a no one... and our house is a mess choice!!
eta: if we ever won the lottery... the first things i would do would be to hire a maid and someone to come and mow the lawn!!

We usually pick a day and do it together... I'll dust and vaccuum, he sweeps and mops... But he does 90% of the cooking

Re: Leese's NewlyWed Question of the Week
He cooks and does laundry and once in a while he'll clean the bathroom. I do the rest. And let me just say that since he cooks, I rarely enter the kitchen (its ugly and it needs to be renovated so I prefer to stay in the prettier rooms of our apt. ) but when I do go in there... He makes the BIGGEST messes..

I with bella! it is all me! I can tell you, our house is 100 times cleaner now that I am there full time! My hubby will help every once in a blue moon but chances are, he will be watching me run around the house like a maniac cleaning!!!

He helps out some, and there are things like garbage that I refuse to take care of, but for the most part it's me.

During the school year, i do everything. On breaks, we split 50/50.

Re: Leese's NewlyWed Question of the Week
We are really 50/50. We don't have lists or anything, but I hate doing laundry and cleaning, so I do the dishes and cook dinner on the weekends (and rarely during the week). He does the laundry and general cleaning. We have a cleaning lady every few weeks to do the heavy stuff.

Me....but only because I am totally undiagnosed OCD and I think I clean better than he does. LOL.

Re: Leese's NewlyWed Question of the Week
I would say he does a lot but I do a lot more if that makes any kind of sense

Re: Leese's NewlyWed Question of the Week
Ok, I didn't answer my own question. Right now, he is definiteyl doing much more. I have yet to cook a meal (it's only been a few weeks though). I did laundry for the first time two nights ago... but he is really picking up the slack.
I'm like opposite of all girls...I'm a big old mess!

Re: Leese's NewlyWed Question of the Week
still trying to figure this one out...
is there a choice of
'he points out the mess and expects it to miraculously be clean'
i've only lived with him 3 days LOL, so we'll see what happens...

Re: Leese's NewlyWed Question of the Week
Since I work 2 jobs and DH works 1, he does the majority.

I do most of it during the semester - during breaks and summer - he does it.

Re: Leese's NewlyWed Question of the Week
It's working out to be 50/50. He does most of the cooking so I will clean up when he cooks. On the weekends we'll both clean & do laundry. When he was off from school he cleaned while he was home.
