I cook are evening meal because the OH has had enough of feeding the sprogs, I also do the washing but not the folding of the thousands of clothes .
Then I do the weekly shop because the OH comes back with nowt. The dishwasher is loaded by the eldest sprog for £5 a week , cheap labour!!
The rest is done in between work and school run, phew

I know who's the boss in this house, so I do as I'm told:smile:
I cook, do the washing (when reminded to), blitz the kitchen periodically, sling the hoover around from time to time. I have been known to iron, but no pictures exist so I claim no knowledge of how to work the thing.
Oh, cleaned the bathroom once. Apparently I didn't do a good enough job - never cleaned it since....(unless you count stripping waste pipework apart to clear the hair of the 2 female house members).
Does feeding the dog count?

Puddles

Do I need to get the spray plaster out?
I don't do dog poo, that is strictly his domain, his domain is also the dishwasher, stripping beds (it sort of stuck after I was not allowed to do much at all when pregnant with Maggot), taking out rubbish, cutting wood for the wood burner, dealing with slugs, snails, the composter, mowing the lawn (as it is a big petrol one that controls me more than I control it) he is rubbish at cooking so I do that and cleaning and polishing and hoovering and stuffs like shopping and he only irons his clothes ex-army and I refuse to touch his clothes after he complained once I do all the washing and ironing.
 
I do pretty much all the housework. Nearly all the gardening which means the garden ends up very untidy - he'll have a blast around with the strimmer or the hedge trimmer once a year if I'm lucky. I usually have to do bike stuff myself. I frequently haul logs in for the fire. I do the majority of the cooking. And the shopping.
He does the chainsawing. And the building of the new extension (which is nearly done). Although I did most of the digger driving, quite a lot of brick laying, all the pointing, all the flint laying and all the reclaimed timber prep :becool:
 
Pink jobs: Everything
Blue jobs: Offering helpful tips and advice for above

Please don't let my wife read this as she'll kill me and it's complete rubbish!!!

We share most of the work, but stuff like cleaning the oven, replacing anything electrical (plug sockets etc), heavy gardening, car cleaning, DIY etc etc. My wife is perfectly capable of doing these things, but doesn't !

I get up, make the breakfast for me and the wife, drive her to work, go to work, finish work, go pick her up, get home, walk the dog, make the tea, clean up the tea, do a bit of washing, play with the dog, sit down for a couple of hours, go to bed and repeat, I also do all the DIY and bins and that.

One thing that gets on my tits is watch all adverts for either washing up liquid or soap powder or anything to do cleaning or cooking the tea for the family, and its always aimed at women!

So what does she do?
 
I do what I'm good at and mrs C does what she's good at: Simple. Of course it gets more complicated when we get around to discussing who's good at what but I know I'm right and she's wrong: Again, simple.
