Who does what

Boards are a lil slow... so who does what? Who cooks? Who cleans? Who pays the bills?

Lol I would say I do the majority of it too. DH pays his cell, his cc and his car payment. Right now there is no home so we don't do that just yet. But he gives me money for our life and car insurance.
Cooking I do majority but I love to cook. He can cook things like spagetti and meatballs and chicken corden blue. When he is alone in the kitchen he's a master lol. And cleaning I do most, but he makes bed every day and if dishwasher or laundry needs to be put away, he will do it before I even get home. He sets the table and cleans up the table... Guess it's kind of split lol...

Up until recently, I did all the cooking. But lately DH has been surprising me A LOT and cooking. Last week he cooked 3 days. This week he's cooked 2 days (or 3?, I forgot). So I'd say that now we both do the cooking.

I clean for the most part, but DH cleans the kitchen every day and he does the laundry the majority of the time. I do all the other cleaning and house stuff, but if I ever ask him to vacuum or change the sheets on the bed, or whatever, he will do it no problem.

I've set up most of our bills to pay automatically online. DH pays the bills that vary each month (our cable bill, keyspan (aka national grid), etc). I do the budgeting and try to keep us on track.

Re: Who does what

We both clean.

I cook.

He pays the bills, creates excel spread sheets, does our accounting, and tracks all of our credit card and bank statements online.

Re: Who does what

I do most of the cooking but DH will make hot dogs or mac & cheese when ever I ask.
I do the cleaning, I like vacuuming and polishing furniture.
I also do the laundry, I love the smell of clothes when they come out of the dryer. DH does help bring me the laundry to the laundry room and then bring it back to our place.
DH will take out the garbage when I ask.
We both do the grocery shopping and we both put away the groceries. We also both pay the bills.

Re: Who does what

Btw---the title of this post---made me giggle.

'Who does WHAT'

and i thought

'duh---i'm pretty sure that Caroline's husband Eric does her.'

Re: Who does what

we share the responsibilities of bills
He does dishes, I pick up the home and we have a cleaning girl.
The cooking is me or take out.

Re: Who does what

DH does the food shopping... I *usually* cook...
we both clean... but he straightens up.. I mop floors, clean toilets, bathtub, sinks etc
I do the laundrey..

we both pay the bills... we were both in our 30s when we met and were WELL set in our ways so we kept separate accts.. we just split up the bills as EASILY as possible...

(I pay the car insurance, cable/phone/net... he pays the cell phone, all food bills... etc etc)

Re: Who does what

i do most of the cooking, DH will occassionally cook a turkey burger or hot dogs. DH does all the bills and all financial stuff. he's just way more organized about it than i am. we both clean, and it works out great because i actually like cleaning the bathrooms, and hate vaccuming, which is what he likes to do.

Re: Who does what

i'm lucky that DH loves to cook so when he moved in he officially became the house chef! he does about 99.9% of the cooking and he does the laundry since it has to be carried down the street. i do ALL the budgeting, payment of bills and anything related to money. we say that he is the 'domestic manager' and i am the 'business manager' of our family! it's sorta backwards from 'traditional' roles (whatever that means) but it works for us!
