If i have enough time, i listen to music while doing the houseworks. If i don't have time or i am tired form work, i usually hire a cleaner to do it for me. btw,thanks for adding me as friend

My husband and I share the housework too and not only to finish the work in half the time but also to be able to spend time together while doing housework. We don't need to talk about assignments at home because we know each of our strengths and weaknesses and the roles we are supposed to play. Even though I do most of the cooking, he is always beside me to help in whatever way. We clean house together, do yard work together, do the laundry together, etc. The important thing is that we are able to enjoy doing things together.

In our house, I clean/look after the inside and my fiance looks after the outside. It works well, sometimes he helps inside if I get behind (I work part-time and we have a nearly 3 yr old daughter) I think there always needs to be negotiation and help from both parties when it comes to cleaning and such

Hi its really good to share work in my case me and my husband will not exactly divide work for the both but instead we start doing house work whenever we are free because both of us are working. like we do start cooking one who reaches the home first and the other will join later.

Personally i don't assign my hubby of what to do at home, but we do share household chores even if i am not telling him of what to do. If he sees something is to be done, then he works at it. Example, we have fishes as pets. He is the one who is cleaning the aquarium every other day. Even if i don't tell him to clean the toilet, if he sees it needs cleaning , he just works on it without telling him to. Sometimes, when i do wash clothes and iron and cook, i do skip some cleaning and that's the area he is working at, like cleaning the toilet or so. I am happy for that since he does help me a lot. Sometimes when i am so tired of work. He do the cooking for me. Helping each other is one key to a good relationship.
