How do you divide household chores with your partner/spouse?

Depends if it is during the semester at school or not really.

I was working full time and going to school full time so hubby picked up almost all of the chores. Now that I have been off of school for a few weeks and even on partial maternity leave from work now it has been split more fairly.

I go back to classes this coming Tuesday so I know hubby will be picking up a little bit more again but hopefully I can relieve some of that pressure by keeping up after/before school each day...

Been nesting but waiting on that "Burst of Energy" to get everything in order at once!!!

With all due admire, in case you're keeping score, you would be depressing; guess on it. We divide in accordance to strengths and alternatives, and that i do no longer degree who does how plenty. We agree on what's a 'finished activity' on each and every chore, and whomever does it, has to do it that way. often times we swap off; if he chefs, I freshen up. No he's not ideal on that activity, yet i'd extremely spot examine in the back of him than do all of it. Dishes and loos are no longer the commencing place of your existence, paintings around it, in case you combat approximately this little stuff, while some thing substantial comes alongside, you will no longer have the endurance to get with the aid of it the type you're able to. If he feels nagged approximately no longer wiping the counter, he would be protecting while he forgot to do some thing like renew the automobile coverage. comprehend? it somewhat is not a picnic, yet love does not save score. in case you're able to be real for all time, you isn't happy. while some thing of effect is going incorrect, he's going to have not got any endurance for the nattering. If he's undesirable in the kitchen, you do it. If he's cleansing the bathing room, that contains the rest room. Be humorous and non- confrontational. don't be a whiny witch, and he won't the two. Love one yet another, and that's no longer constantly elementary. although that's exciting.

I'm a stay at home mum so I do all the typical wife/mother stuff. He works and brings home the bacon.

Every now and then if I'm sick or if I've had a rough day with our son I'll ask him to help out and he will, but 99% of the time I do all the household chores.

Suggest making a calendar of what needs to be done on what days. Or decide what needs to be done by the end of the week.....and who does what. If you don't want to do the same chores each week, alternate. Or do them together as a "team work" task.

I do all the indoor chores and he does all the outdoor chores.

I do laundry, vacuuming, cleaning, grocery shopping, cooking.

He shovels the driveway, mows the lawn, rakes leaves, trims hedges, takes out the trash and keeps up with the bills.

We don't. My wife does a lot more around the house, but I help. I do a lot more outside, but she helps. If we see something that needs to be done, we do it. Sometimes it works out that I do dishes and she mows grass.

i guess this doesnt normaly work but it did for me. we just each cleaned when we wanted to. if i wanted her to clean something i would ask and she would do it. if she wanted me to clean something she would ask and i would do it but we both for the most part just cleaned up after ourselves. we both got lucky and married someone with the same cleaning standards.

It does not have to be equal, just do what you do best and let them do the same.

my husband works over the road .. so he works, i do EVERYTHING else.. oh he does fix the occassional things that break in the house lol..

He makes the mess. I clean it up.
