No real set rule on who does what in our house. We both do whatever needs done.
I enjoy working outside more and working in the garden and I do all the DIY and touch ups about the house because I enjoy that kind of thing.
My wife is a stay at home mother and takes care two kids, all the washing, cleaning and cooking during the week. I pitch in with the cleaning at the weekend.

From talking to some friends there would seem to be a growing trend in people these days to not do a whole pile of housework. A lot of women don't want to clean and either the men do everything or they hire a cleaner to come in regularly.

More importantly there is a growing trend of women who can't/won't cook. Thankfully I take care of most of the cooking, a fair bit of cleaning and laundry. Herself takes care of the dishes and general tidying. She reminds me to pay the bills too.

I do the chopping up and dicing in the basement. She looks out for the cops and deals with the punters.
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

She does the woman's work and I do the man's work. Suits everyone, except that there is ten times more woman work.

Spare a thought for us that need to do both!

I got a cleaner, regular window cleaner, and paved the back garden over though so I guess all I do really is take out the bins, do my own laundry and do general tidying in between cleaner visits.  Gonna try to get the cleaner to do some ironing too. 
I often work long hours and am away a lot during the week (writing this from a hotel room in Chicago) so the last thing I want to do when I get home is deep-clean the house.
