Who does what chores?

Well, i'm not sure if i'm the best person to give you advice, i'm a sahm, so most of the chores i do. i think it depends on the time schedules you both have. if you both work and whatnot. You can alternate days or weeks on certain things like laundry, trash, dishes and cooking. Bathroom duty once a week or you both can set aside a day where both of you will just clean the whole house. For dinner I feel if one person cooks, the other person cleans. You can also have fun with it if you guys just don't like doing chores. it can be romantic and sensual if you want it to be. that will defiantly help the relationship...

Well to me it depends on if you both work,or not if so than things should be equal, but not all men will agree to do dishes or laundry so if you do those two chores what two will he do? make a list of what he is willing to help with. It has always been like common that women do the household chore while the man dose the outside and fixing things, but also if you have children than he should help with all the chores, you just have to decide who wants to do what.

I think the housework should be responsible for both parts. The man can do something like fixing, cleaning the floor etc. The woman can do cooking, washing and arranging things in good order. It can be totally fair, but at least both of you have to do something. It's not possible to let one person to finish all the housework.

I stay at home with my son so I pretty much do all the household chores except the trash. I know a lot of sahm still divide chores with their partner but I don't think it's fair to do that. While it is a full time job to take care of my son, I do have a little down time when is taking a nap or eating. This gives me time to get other much needed stuff to do around the house. My husband is gone 12 hours a day at his job so he doesn't have time to do much at home. Plus it wouldn't be right for me to tell him to sweep and mop the floor when he gets home after a long day at work regardless of how my day went. He helps me out to do something nice for me too sometimes. :)

If both of you work, then the fair thing to do is establish a list of all the chores and first try to distribute them by what you and your lovey likes to do. In my case, I hate washing the toilet but I don't mind changing the litter. So the deal is that my lovey does the toilet with the bath and the sink and the floor and I change the litter. I don't mind doing the dishes but I can't stand ironing. So he does the ironing and I take care of the dishes. Even if we have a dishwasher, you know how it is, not all of the dishes fit in the dishwasher and there is always left over. I take care of that. We take turn preparing the meals and we do the grocery shopping together. The best answer is communication. If you We have set up a half an hour rule. Meaning that each day, right after supper, we clean for half an hour. We have a 3 year old and there is always something that is where it should't be ( toys, books, clothes). We found that by cleaning up each day for 30 minutes, there is less to do on the week-end. And when we are doing chores together, nobody can feel cheated when one is working and the other one is on the sofa just watching tv. :)

Me and my boyfriend have this things sorted out... they sorted out naturally guess i am just lucky... so here goes... 1stly he works and study, i study but have a lot more classes... This is the system: when we eat together, the one that is home first makes the meal and the other then does the dishes. if i or he eat alone we do our own dishes. we have a different clothing style---he likes bright i like dark clothes so we each wash our own clothes... when it comes to joint material (sheets, towels...) we have a special basket for them and when the basket is full one of us empties it... we divided some chores for example he vacuums (i hate that) and i clean all ceramic sections (he hates that), a also keep the kitchen clean (bread crumbs, trash... ) while he is in charge of the living room. things such as bathroom and toilet (we hate them both) are done by the one that looses in a game of poker or any other game that we play... We never argue about chores... we think we divided them fairly.
