Household Tasks

[Cetawin]

DH does his own laundry and will fend for himself in the kitchen from time to time. DD does dishes when I can yell loud enough about it...I do the animals, the bulk of the yardwork around the house he does the paddock and such and I do the inside of the house, cook, floors etc etc etc.

DH makes the money and does anything I ask, he also works 7 days on and 7 days off.
DD and GD help after school everyday with all the animals.
I do everything else, but it is not really work. All the critters are my idea and they (family) love me so they just roll with it.

Well, I live alone so I do everything by myself. But back when I lived with my ex I did all the cooking and most of the housework. He would do the trash and the laundry.

My husband does what I tell him to do, but rarely will household chores occur to him if I don't TELL him to do it first. I can look at a sink full of dishes and start washing....if left to his own devices, he'll fill the sink then wash what he needs to use next.
My husband works full time as a US marine and I am a full time college student.
We do NOT and will not ever have "traditional" domestic roles. He may do most of the things involving power tools, but what I don't know I'm learning. I do tend to delegate the more heavy lifting type building and renovation chores (I see these as chores) to him as a result of my physical issues in the past few years, but again, that is changing. We just go with the flow.

*except* the animals, since those were mostly my idea, I tend to have to be the one to take care of them...which is fair, I suppose.
My daughter is tasked with feeding the dogs and letting them out in the morning, but other than that, she and my son just make mess at this point.

My husband works out of town .... home a week, gone a week type schedule. When he is home he does everything. He is a great cook, does housework, chicken chores, lawn care, etc. When he is gone, I do the chicken chores .... (and can't wait for him to get home and get the housework done.)

OK, I do my own laundry. Well, sorta .... I wash it and dry and throw it in the chair in my bedroom.

I'm a slob and he's a neat freak.

I am home alone most weekdays with DH's work schedule. So while he isn't here I do everything or it doesn't get done. When DH is home he often does his own laundry, and will help however I need him too. I still do most of the cooking, though I have taught him if he wants breakfast as early as he gets up, he had better make it himself. He loves to wander out the coop and nab a few eggs for breakfast. Over the years I did all the yard work, but lately DH has been helping with that too. I hate hurting as bad as I do, and not having any energy. I would rather do most of the housework just so that it would be done the way I wanted it to be.

We each do our own landuary, I do the cooking/baking/canning and the majority of the dishes. She does the house cleaning. I deal with the trash, garden, firewood, household maintenance and repairs, chickens feeding and processing. She works a full time job, I have a wood shop that keeps me out of trouble.

Dh is gone most days working so I am the one to do the inside/outside chores,and tend to the kids daily.I will admit there are times I might not do the dishes or sweep the floor daily.Usually that is not a problem unless dh comes home unscheduled! I never let my house get like a hoarder house,but I am not OCD on cleaning either.

All aminals are my job too.Dh did grumpily iron some of his cloths at times.I buy wrinkle free cloths for myself for a reason! I like dh to take the car for repairs or to buy major appliances,but he isn't always home for it.When he is home I make him drive because I hate driving.
