Do you divide housework between you and your spouse?

I'm not married yet, but i do share the housework together with my mom and brother.. lol =D When i was very much younger, my brother and me will take turns to be sweeping and mopping the floor.. As for doing of dishes, whoever is the last to eat, will have to wash up everything.. haha =D As for changing of bedsheets, i'm the one who's doing it every 3weeks or so.. As for ironing, my mom and brother are the ones doing it.. haha =D

As I believe you know, my fiance and I are living with his parents. We don't do very many chores, but we do do regular chores on Wednesday which is the night that the trash people come and pick up our trash. We alternate what chores we do. We're in charge of sweeping the floors, and changing the animals water bowl in the kitchen, also we are in charge of the litter box right off the kitchen in the laundry room. Our bathroom is also our responsibility. My fiance always does the litter box though I tell him I can do it too. One week I take care of the kitchen, another week he does, and vice versa. The bathroom is alternated too. If I'm not doing the kitchen, I'm doing the bathroom. If he's not doing the bathroom, he's doing the kitchen. Our bedroom is usually dusted every two weeks. We are supposed to do our own laundry, but often forget, and with his mother picking at it to make a load when she does laundry, we sometimes don't bother with doing it. We change our bedding every two weeks as well, with washing the comforter atleast once a month sometimes more.

Hi lynette, my son lives with me he is an adult and he works shifts, so I do the housework when he is at work and he does it on his days off, as for cooking he does his and I do mine sometimes we may have a takeaway, so that works for us...LoLo

Hi lyn, I do all the housework but he only does the washing as he does a lot of biking and wears his bike clothes, I wouln't touch it and told him so, and that is why he ended up wahing all the clothes. Tamara

No!I don't divide any house work like that with my wife.But I use to help her in cleaning the house and washing clothes in the machine whenever possible.Earlier i used to help her in cooking too but washing dishes,I haven't tried.But this dividing is more concerned with the couples where both go to jobs.For my wife who is a home keeper alone,my helps are valued more.Cheers!

yes i obviously do that

My husband and I have divided the housework between us. I don't like to cook, so my husband has offered to cook for us which I am very happy about. We both do the dishes and we both clean the house. We have a cat and six rabbits, so we have to clean the cages and cat's toilet, and we usually share the work. We plan on buying some guineapigs, and when we buy them, it will become my responsibility to the clean the cage, the cat will become my husband's responsibility, but we will still clean the rabbit's cages together. My husband does the laundry. I really appreciate that. When I was living with my ex I did the laundry for years, so it is very nice to be able to relax a bit

Depends on the day. Most of the time I do all of the cleaning. If I am overwhelmed by three kids or family issues I will ask my husband to help. I have a 7 year old and 1 year old twins. All boys. So my days can be pretty hectic with appt's and keeping schedules, things like that. I do not work outside of the home. I kind of feel I should be doing the cleaning since I am home. My husband does half of the laundry though. Which I am very thankful for. We seem to have a neverending pile of laundry.
