How do you participate in household chores. As a husband I do all the minor repairs on the house. I do the dishes, help in laundry and cut the grass. My wife does the cooking, ironing of our clothes and house cleaning. How about you what do you do to help at your home?

I am a plain housewife and a mother of 3 kids. I do all the work here.I clean the house, cook, help my kids with their assignment. I do the laundry and ironing before but now it was my sister who's been doing that for me. I got allergic to laundry soaps. When my husband was still here, he was assigned to clean the house and backyard on weekends. But of the time, I let him rest.

Here things are done by whomever gets to them and wants to do them. Usually in the house, women are more likely to do some cleaning work but that's not always the case. The only male we have in the house will do house chores. He does do most of the outside stuff and I do help on some occasions but he does most of the outside stuff.

Hi Muelitz, [i]I am also doing the laundry and ironing then arranging the clothes in the closet...Cleaning the house, sometimes mowing the lawn since this is the only way I can exercise aside of following the videos I got..LOL! Cooking can be both of us, most of the time my husband! He does all the repairs in the house with my assistance![/i]

basically,my share of chore at home is just clean the house on weekends and cook dinner whenever i came home earlier than usual.my sisters and cousins were the ones who were sharing all the tasks since they have more time to do so.actually,the unspoken rule iswhoever have the chance/time and is around that time wherein she's aware that there was something to be done,she should do it without waiting to be told.it's been like that since my sisters and my cousin lived with me and we have no problem regarding household chores so far...heaps dear! ="^_^"=

we are only three members in our house. me, mt wife and my son mt son is only two yers old and sometimes he helps putting back his toys. me i share on the chores like bring out the trash and setting the table when it is lunch and dinner. and we make sure we clean as we go so my wife wont have the hard time on cleaning the house.

Hi my friend, As far as our household, my hubby does the outdoor things in regards to maintenance on the house. He also does his own laundry. I do the cooking and and dishes (thank goodness for my dishwasher!!)and most of the house cleaning, that is when I'm not sitting her on the computer. [i]Happy MyLotting, Char[/i]
