Who Does The Most In Your Household?

Today my coworkers and I were talking about who does the majority of housechores in our households. Who does it in yours?

Me! Mom chief cook and bottle washer. Hubby does do dishes often which is a big help and helps with the cooking..

I do everything inside the house. The yard and pool are his responsibility. We both work full time and I also have 3 classes this semester.

I live alone but I am a neat freak and keep my place scrupulously clean. Therefore, I do it all!!

I do most of the work, but he does help out if I pout!

And he does all the outside stuff!

I do ALL of the work. I work 4 days, he works 5.

I also mow the lawn (about an acre, but I'll admit, that's because I'm a bit of a control freak when it comes to lawn mowing).

I will admit that he will help out a lot if we are having company, and he does his share of the cooking. He will help if I ask (or nag ) - but in general, I do it all.

i dont do much housework,i dont get a chance,the other half beats me to it

I suspect you'd get a different answer depending on who you talked to. We both do stuff around the house...I personally feel that I do the lion's share, but I think he'd disagree with that.

We both work full time jobs. We have a cleaning service that comes every other week to do the bulk of the heavy cleaning.

He takes out the garbage, does the grocery shopping, cleans the kitty boxes (only because he criticized how I was doing it...so now it's his job) and the laundry (until he gets tired of doing it...then I end up finishing it up). If it snows, he cleans the driveway and sidewalks. In the summer, he mows the lawn.

I do the cooking, dishes, finish the laundry, do any other shopping that can't be bought at the grocery store, vacuum between cleanings, do any other stuff that needs to be done between cleaning service visits, and pick up the house before the service comes. In the summer, I clean the pool.

Hubby is enjoying his second spell of early retirement at the moment, so he is home and I work. Hubby does all the housework and cooks the meals. We both enjoy working in the garden, although hubby does the lawns and takes care of the car.

When we were both working, we shared the cleaning, although hubby did the cooking then too.

That's why I do all the inside work. To give him a bit of credit, he used to try to help me. But I never felt like it was done well enough and would go right behind him and do it all over again.

Him and his friends pick on me and tell me I am OCD about it, and maybe I am, but I like having a clean, organized house. It is also important to me that it smells good.

Um excuse me i live with my mum and dad

My mother does not clean my room, its my responsability, but if i dont keep it tidy they will soo complain and wont leave me alone!
I do help out with the dishes and bathroom

John & I are really good @ sharing the chores around the house. I love when I come home from work and the apartment is all clean, he knows the way to my heart!

We split the chores up pretty evenly. I do all the cleaning (floors, bathroom, washing dishes, clothes) that kind of thing...where Jeff does the cooking and shovelling and garbage.

I have a husband who doesn't recognize dirt until it can support major agricultural life. When I ask him to do something he does, but after all these years of marriage, I'm tired of having to ask the same thing over and over. So I do virtually all of the indoor work and he more often than not takes out the garbage and mows the lawn. Time factor is about my 16 hours to his 3 each week.

I have 3 jobs, a two year old, and my boyfriend. I clean everything, all the time. I have to. That's all I can really say about that.

since i dont live with my boyfriend i am still kinda interested in how that will go. i think we work together well when it comes to cleaning up his apartment. he loves for me to help him, but when we're at my apt its hard to get him to be as willing to help as he wants me to be. i dont really mind cleaning up after him, but after 4 years, that can only last so much longer, right?

Since my job ended in Sept I have done (hmmm like when I was working) the majority of the work. Except I don't mow the lawn as we have a commercial mower and it scares me. He does the snow removal stuff too but we haven't had much of that this winter either. HOWEVER now that I am actively working on my business and trying to find clients I told him things are going to have to change!!

I do most of the housework
