Who does what in your home?

Original post by Future Mrs.

I have posted this before, but I think its a timeless issue.
Who does what in your home? When we first moved in together, DH and I quickly learned that being totally laid back about chores and not having roles just DOESN'T WORK FOR US. I'd be the one to do everything! We are both very busy with our jobs, so, we each have our own duties.

laundry, cooking, cleaning (we also have a cleaning person every 2 weeks), paying all of the bills/mortgage; dishes; make the bed and vacuum.

folds the laundry, picks up/drops off stuff from dry cleaners, takes out the garbage; change the cat litter; and cleans the bathroom as needed

DH is pretty good most of the time:

ALL cooking(unless it involves microwaving.. DH would be lucky if he knows how to turn on the oven! lol but i do love to cook so i'm not complaining ), Majority of cleaning

always cleans up after meals(doesn't let me ), bills bills bills, vaccuums & takes out the trash.

we both do laundry and both walk the doggies :)

so i guess we have a pretty even split...cant really complain.

You guys are spoiled rotten! I too am getting the SHAFT!

Daily duties:


Work 9 to 5. Do all the cooking, mild cleaning, food shopping, laundry, bring baby to daycare, pick up baby from daycare, change, feed, bathe, read to baby and put her to sleep. Oh and don't forget night feedings & getting up to soothe her back to sleep.


Work from home a lot, sit on couch, scratch b@lls, fart, make me smell the fart, laugh at fart, call friends & tell them about the fart. Play with baby. Laugh at baby's farts. Ask for sex.

BUT he does pay for a cleaning lady once a week & pays all the bills except for my cell & credit card. And he bought me a REALLY nice new car recently. I guess its all about bartering....



I am sorry, but the way you wrote this, is too funny You poor thing.



Its funny because its TRUE! The farting fascination is out of control. If we are on the couch & he farts, he takes a couch cushion & FANS the fart at me.
