I do most of the cleaning, but only b/c I am really anal about things and I want them done right. DH washes the dishes with basically cold water and thinks thats okay. I don't want clumps of food on my spoon when I am going to eat something with it lol I make sure he does things to keep him feeling like I am not the only one who should be doing it, but for the most part I do it .:)

Re: Spin off: Who does the cleaning?
I do but when we go to PA DH does all the cleaning, we bring laundry, he cooks, washes dishes and even makes the bed!

If it weren't for me, DH would live in a pile of poop.

Re: Spin off: Who does the cleaning?
We both do. DH works 2 days and 3 nights a week, so when hes home during the day he does some cleaning.
As for laundry thats all me. He's ruined tons of my clothes and is no longer allowed! lol

Re: Spin off: Who does the cleaning?
I do most of the cleaning. It's definately not shared equally. DH will load and unload the dishwasher and washes 'his own' dress shirts. Everything else, dusting, vacuuming, the bathroom (I really hate this one), the litter box, kitchen etc. is all me.
I feel as though the thinking is that since I work three nights a week I am 1. home during the day 2. I only work three times a week - and I don't get tired.

Re: Spin off: Who does the cleaning?
I do most if not all of the cleaning.
DH does all of the cooking though.
In all fairness since we've been together he's become less messy than he used to be but we're still working on it..

Re: Spin off: Who does the cleaning?
we share equally. DH is way more of a neat freak than i am, and actually likes to clean. but we're each good at different things. i actually enjoy cleaning the bathrooms and kitchen, so that's always my job. he does all the vacuuming and mopping. i'm afraid to use the vacuum, so i'm glad he does it. he always asks me to do it, but then i tell him he'd have to clean the bathrooms, so he's happy with his vacuum. dusting we share.

Re: Spin off: Who does the cleaning?
We split it up. I have to dust because DH has horrible allergies so I do all the dusting and glass cleaning and all that fun stuff. Dh's job is the bathroom and vacuuming. He usually does the dishes because I do the cooking and he always makes the bed. I'm really bad at remembering to do that. In general Dh is a neater person than I am.

Re: Spin off: Who does the cleaning?
We both do. I do the dusting and vacuuming but he'll do the scrubbing and laundry (we split this too) and he'll get on his hands and knees and clean the floors.

Re: Spin off: Who does the cleaning?
I do most of the cleaning because I need it done more often than DH does. I do my cleaning routine on Fridays after work and DH doesn't get home until 10/10:30pm. If I go out on Friday after work, he will help the next day. He does do the laundry and uses the swivel sweeper and will vaccuum if I haven't done it yet.

Re: Spin off: Who does the cleaning?
I do almost everything. DH is away most of the week and then on the weekends we want to spend time together, so I just do it during the week.

Re: Spin off: Who does the cleaning?
I'm actually surprised the DH doesn't help as much since he always said cleaning relaxes him.
This passed weekend I was going to work on friday and asked him to vacuum... which he didn't.
We both work full time, there's no need for this.

Re: Spin off: Who does the cleaning?
I do. He will help if I ask, but ONLY if I ask. The only time he does something on his own is if he's home from work and I'm not, he'll do the laundry for me. Which I obviously love! But other than that... it's all me! I blame his mother.

Re: Spin off: Who does the cleaning?
DH does more than me, but he works from home a few days a week. He takes care of laundry and changing the sheets and occasional spot cleaning. He is way more motivated then me!
When we clean on weekends, we share and split duties.

I do the majority, but DH helps out a lot.

Re: Spin off: Who does the cleaning?
Usually if we can manage to do it on a day we have off together we split the cleaning, but DH does the majority of cleaning and I do the cooking!

Re: Spin off: Who does the cleaning?
I do most of it. DH works a second job right now.. and I don't. So that is my contribution.
