Does your other-half do the housework, or do you?

Me and my boyfriend divide the household chores up pretty well. He does washing up and wiping down surfaces and cleaning up his stuff; I clean and tidy the bathroom, make the bed and clean up my own stuff. We do grocery shopping together and we never dust as we both hate it. What happens in your house? Who does the housework? x

We divide it quite well. We take turns cooking and doing the dishes, always do the grocery shopping together. I usually take care of cleaning up when there's stuff lying about, while he cleans the bathroom. We also wash our clothes together.

No, the only thing my husband does, is dirty up the house. Once in a while, he'll mow some grass or something, but housework? No, only in my dreams.

Well my hubby does try to help when he can. I do the dusting, cleaning the windows & mirrors, clean the bathroom, the kitchen, straighten up, etc. He will sweep, vacuum & mop when he is here when I clean. For the laundry, I sort it out, he takes it down and puts it in the washer/dryer, I then fold it and put it away. I do the dishes always. I cook most of the time, sometimes when he has a day off he will cook too. I walk the dog unless he is off. That is how we basically do things.

My fiance has been very helpful with a lot of the household chores lately, as I was working and he was staying at home. Now that he has started school this week, we're splitting the chores more evenly. Neither of us have much free time, but there's still plenty to do!

I usually am the one to clean the house as well as pay the bills. Haaa. Well its like once i clean the whole apartment. I am so furious about what is he gonna clean, that when he does come home, seeing me laid out on the couch calling me lazy. I get so angry i start to dig into him about his cleaning habits that he gets a broom out and sweeps only his side of the bedroom. He cleans the areas that he uses. But its so funny because i never see him clean the bathroom. Well once but it was a half a$$ job. So i have to yell and threaten to go on strike before he will clean.

When my ex and I were together, he never did anything. Now that he is gone, the kids and I share the housework. I do the majority of the cooking and the dishes, although I do get some help with these from time to time. The kids have their chores that they do, and we all do the majority of the grocery shopping together. Everyone pretty much chips in on much of what is left.
