On the back of the other thread about what ya get up to when the wife is out I was wondering do you pull your weight around the house?
For example:
Hoover the house
Make the dinner
Cut the grass
In charge of the bills
Ironing
DIY around the house
Cleaning the bathroom
Putting a wash on and hanging it out to dry
Making the lunches

Chores? Have you been watching Lassie?
I cook, do a bit of cleaning and tidying, manage the kids as necessary and mind the bills.
I don't generally iron and there is very little DIY .
Apparently Hardy does all his chores naked.
Well it's what I heard!
Only the most enjoyable ones.
Im in charge of delegating chores

QuotePutting a wash on and hanging it out to dry
about to this now, nice day for once.
I am the Chief Controller of the Remote Controls in our house 8)
The missus always gets me to put the sheet on the mattresses of the beds cos they are a bit on the heavy side for her, she used to help prior to babies but now she thinks its a better idea for me to bust myself doing it on my own taking twice the time :o
The Mrs washes the dishes, I dry them, when the dishwasher is full and hasnt been switched on :-\
Wife washes, I towel her down.... ;)
As a modern man.I do what i'm told. ;D
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.
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.
