I do most of the cleaning, but he does help out a lot with getting things done.

Nope, we both work long hours in the city -- in fact, I work longer hours... So we divide chores and stuff equally -- or as equally as possible.

We're both neat and clean, so it's not a bid deal... but when it comes to cooking / cleaning / etc., we divide the labor.

Certainly if I were working less, I'd pick up the slack. But I work sooooooo much....

FH works really long hours in the city so I'm pretty much on my own during the week with cooking and cleaning. On weekends we do the laundry together, he will cook sometimes, and does the dishes. The bathroom is completely up to me though or it would never get cleaned.

Apparently I'm the only one here - but I think that FH will be MY housewife!! I HATE cleaning - he's so good - Everyone always calls him Poppa Mike cuz he's always doing housely things!!

He will help at some point..when that is a question for him He is usually pretty good though if I ask but thats a rarity b/c I like things done a certain way! So I guess Housewife, but I wont be staying home I will be working and being housewife

We do all of the cleaning in the house together.

I'd have to say its almost equal. But FH doesn't do laundry (well). He's unemployed now so he can wear a french maid costume and clean panty-less

BOTH.

i acutally like to clean.... but I know that FH ALWAYS helps with the dishes! and he's a very neat person in general....

also maybe the occasional cleaning lady to really keep the place spotless!

Re: after marriage will you and fh....

I'll do the cleaning... I actually kind of like it...

BUT he is amazing cook, so that will be his job.

Re: after marriage will you and fh....

We try to do it together now, but its not working so well. I'll probably be doing most of the cleaning. Plus he usually does such a crappy job, I have to do it over.

Re: after marriage will you and fh....

Half and half....we live together now, so I clean the bathroom, he cleans the rest. I LOVE that!!! He hates the bathroom that much so he thinks it's a fair trade-off. Fine by me!

He's better at cleaning AND cooking! I kinda like it that way ha ha ha. Although lately, we eat dinner at different times- and he's on that stupid Attkins diet so I want nothing to do with cooking for him or him cooking for me.. Um...is he gonna catch up with the rest of the world in realizing it is not good for long term? DUH!
