How Did you Divide Up the Jobs at your Home with Your Spouse?

Who does what in Your House?


I know many say whatever Needs done gets Done by Either but What Jobs do Only you Do in your House and What Jobs does your Spouse Only Do.How Did you Divide Up the Jobs at your Home with Your Spouse?
We do the ones we like to do and they all manage to get done.





Things I like to do - take out the trash, mow grass, shovel snow, load the dishwasher, cook, clean the bathrooms, and fix stuff





Things my wife likes to do - laundry, make kids lunches, shop for their stuff, organize their clothes, manage the calendar, manage the checkbook and write all the bills, vacuum, decorate for holidays, buy and wrap presents, and mend clothes.





Note, my wife doesn't work so she has more free time. She also plays tennis three times a week and runs three days a week.How Did you Divide Up the Jobs at your Home with Your Spouse?
Only I do: cooking, grocery shopping, laundry, dishes, taking care of the pets and the fish tank, changing linens and towels, keeping track of our social schedule, sending out holiday/b-day cards.





Only he does: bills, keeping track of our finances, long-term financial planning, handyman jobs around the house, electrical, plumbing, home theater, computers, keeping the garage / work bench in order, fixing anything that needs fixing.





Both of us do: light cleanup as necessary, teaming up on various work projects.





Hired help: maid service, a gardener, a pool guy.





I dunno, we seem to make a pretty good team.
Let's see I am divorced now. However when I was married I did all the cooking, grocery shoppping, cleaning and taking care of the house. She helped with the bills. Now, I have the house, do all the cooking, cleaning , grocery shopping, bills and maintaing the house and taking care of my daughter. So nothing has changed for me. Maybe next time I get married I can find someone that wants to help out. Not all men lazy. I can keep with any women in taking care of things at home.
not really...MARRIAGE IS 100% BY 100%





my husband does all the banking/finances ( he is a professional)


and I am the home maker with a fulltime job/kids. We discuss what needs to be done and we decide daily who can do what ..if they have time, this includes Ortho appointments,shopping,cleaning,car issues..etc... Its who has the time. We dont keep score of who took out the trash last...trash is trash it has to go out.





My spouse does mainly the finances - and I do mainly Laundry - though to be fair He helps and the kids have to help with laundry too as well as other chores ( teens), I do help my husband with bill/financial planning when I have time/he asks for my assistance.





we are very busy professionals and we work together 100%
My husband guilt trips me into doing everything. Laundry dishes cooking cleaning up and he is home all day while I am at work during the day so I pay all the basic bills and he only works at night 3 to 4 nights a week and babysits the kids and by that I mean feed the kids lunch monday tuesday and thursday while I do everything else.
We don't have any kids, and i know kids change things but...





He is a chemical engineer and has a great job. He works ten hour shifts and makes most of the income. I work as a Realtor and love it! make my own schedule. But I absolutely love doing the chores and laundry, cleaning! Since I am at home a lot and get to work from home, i love getting things done and letting him relax when he gets off. It lets us spend time together and makes our mood much more laid back.
I believe that the husband should do just as much as the wife. My wife cleans up after I cook and prepare the dinner table. However its a little different. I work shift work (4 days on, 4 days off - Im a firefighter) and she is a grade 2 teacher) So we arent home all that often at the same time. But the days we are together, we'll throw on some good music and clean together...which often leads to great..well you know ;) But my case in point...its 50/50 and you keep up your share..life is wonderful. Been married for 7 years now
I do the laundry. My husband does dishes. He usually cleans kitchen/bathroom and I'll clean living room/bedrooms. He cooks a lot, so sometimes I'll clean up when cooks. He'll load the dishwasher and I'll put it away. We like different chores; thank goodness I don't do dishes that often. I guess it relaxes my husband; he will come home from work and immediately just do dishes...a kind of zen thing for him.
I'm not even sure how these things got divided up to begin with but . . . he makes the bed which I can't stand doing, he cleans the fish %26amp; turtle tanks, and washes dishes as he uses them. I cook, feed the cats, and do all the deep cleaning like floors, bathroom, refrigerator, etc. So mostly he picks up around here but I deep clean.
I pretty much do it all. The only way I can get my husband to help is if I nag and b***h at him, which I don't want to do.





So the compromise is I only work part-time now and take care of the house! Works for both of us!
The kids unload the dishwasher and take the trash out.





My husband takes inventory of the beer in the fridge, chain smokes, and washes his own clothes.





I do everything else.





:(





AND I work a LOT of hours (can't you tell?)
Lets see, he takes out the garbage, and mows the lawn.





I do the rest, until i loose my mind, then he generously takes over.





:)
we just pitch in and share it. i usually cook, she does laundry, i mow the yard and take out the trash. whoever has time just does what is needed.
I do the inside work and he does the outside work- simple! He also entertains the kids while I do the inside work which is great!
I do everything at the house. I can ask, beg, nag... but I don't think that will ever change! He may remember to take out the garbage!
I do practically everything in our house. My husband works alot of hours at our business and I handle the rest.





Oh yeah, he does take out the trash and runs the snow blower when it snows!
