DIvision of labor!!

Who's going to do what chores around the house??

Husband mows grass, empties trash, puts out the empty water bottles, and I do dishes, laundry.
I hate dusting!!! But the Swiffer Duster has made it more delightful!!! Mary MOB

Re: DIvision of labor!!

We share most of the cleaning. We have gotten into a pretty good routine.
However, he is the sole trash taker outer and since he decided to go out and buy the most expensive and HEAVIEST vacuum that money can buy..............his butt does ALL of the vacuuming. I have tried but the thing is SO heavy that I can only go in straight lines!!!! Forget turning corners

He also is good about dusting b/c I have sensitive skin which gets really itchy from dust

Re: DIvision of labor!!

We do pretty much 50/50 around the house. We did work out a deal concerning cooking early on. I am the 'cook' of the family so I do my thing while FH watches tv or whatever. After eating he does ALL the cleanup so I have a chance to relax. He's such a good guy

Re: DIvision of labor!!

we'll split everything. i prefer cleaning to cooking so i'll do more of that.

He does the garbage and the outside stuff. I do the laundry (he will help once in a while) and ALL of the folding (he stinks at it).

We share the cleaning and the dishes.
He is actually a huge help around the house.

Re: DIvision of labor!!

I do the everyday cleaning - sweeping, dusting, making the bed, changing the sheets, lysol the furniture and counter tops (i am a lysol freak) stuff like that.....i usually cook dinner and FH usually does the dishes after - he always does the pots for me and he does our laundry! major cleaning i usually do in the morning on sat or sun and he will help if he's around - usually i make him clean the bathroom i am a cleaning freak and FH used to get annoyed saying im a germ freak and i clean too much - but that has slowed down since LIW and wedding planning

We haven't even discussed that yet, but he'll have a lot more chores to do! I know I'll be cleaning the bathroom and cooking. He's good with the laundry and cleaning up the kitchen and dusting.

Re: DIvision of labor!!

i remembered that FH is also the garbage man which is great - but he never puts in a new bag

Re: DIvision of labor!!

We share. I cook and do laundry. BUt he straightens up and he'll pitch in with laundry, doing dishes when I ask. He says he's def buying me a dishwasher tho, bc we both HATE doing dishes. He vaccums, taks out the garbage.

Fh will vacuum, take out garbage, maintain cleanliness of vehicles and help clean up after dinner; as well as most outside duties.

I am stuck doing pretty much everything else

I am darn proud of myself for NEVER flipping out the he leaves his wet towel on the bathroom mat 75% of the time.
