What chores do you do around the house?...
 
... do you share them with your hubby/partner, or do you do them all?

I do EVERYTHING and always have. To be fair, the hubster has done his 5 year college/uni stint, then always worked full time, so I stayed at home with the kids and done all the housework/cooking etc - which I think is fair enough and I have no problems with that. :)

I do think it is unfair if both are working but only one pulls their weight around the house :sneaky:

p.s - I work part time and still find myself doing all the house work, but I am here the most so seems the best way.

:rofl: Is this on from the ironing thread?!

I do minimal chores, very minimal. My hubby works full time, cooks, cleans and does all the DIY/odd jobs etc. I look after a 7 month old girl and just turned 2 year old boy. I do some bits, I tidy, make beds, dishwasher etc but no where near as much as he does.

But as has been said I am bad wife when it comes to household chores, but supposedly I can suck the white off rice so it's all ok! :D

Aren't you a lucky girl then. My hubby works full time, but doesn't do any house work/cleaning/cooking/ tidying up. He does make breakfast every weekend though, which I love :thumbsup:

We share.

Apart from the hoovering which I detest so hubby does that (not that we have many carpets so not much hoovering needs doing). Whereas he hates cleaning the bathroom so I always do that.

For cleaning, ironing, washing, emptying disher, hanging out clothes, cooking etc either of us will do it or we'll do it together. Works for us.

I do none if I can help it as life is too short for housework but sometimes I crack when some one runs a finger through the dust.

I am totally spoilt at home, I don't work and I'm a part time single parent with 3 kids. Hubby is away for over 4 weeks then home for just over 3 normally. When he's away I do it all, not very well but it gets done and aslong as the kids are clean, dressed, fed and in school I think I'm doing well! then he comes home and totally takes over, I don't get a look in, it used to annoy me cos it offended me that he didn't think I did things right or well enough but I've come to realise he just can't help himself and needs to keep busy. :blink:

He's home next week after being away for the last 7 weeks :blink: and I can't wait cos he's a diamond! ;)

Mr PP does all the cooking and I do the housework. I dont like him doing housework as he doesnt do it as I like it.

He comes home from work and cooks a meal, every weekend I do the housework and if he is at home I send him out so I can get on with it.

Works well for us.
