Re: what chores do the husbands do?

He does the garbage, the landscaping, cleans the floors and the dishes most of the time.

He actually does more than me

Re: what chores do the husbands do?

garbage, laundry, makes the beds, dusts

Re: what chores do the husbands do?

I often do the dishes (empty and fill the dishwasher), take care of all the paper recycling, and some of the metal/plastic recycling. All of the vacuuming and steam vac cleaning. Clean the stove. All outdoor stuff (cutting grass, leaves, etc). Usually gather stray dishes that DC left around. Do most of the cleaning of toys and stuff that DC leave.
Plus any big projects (retile bathroom floor, install whole-house water softener, build enclosure for dishwasher and install that, clean the gutters, coordinate everything for the upcoming renovation). All car maintenance, and computer maintenance. I'm sure there's plenty of other stuff that I forgot about.

I also help out with DC after work and on the weekends.

Re: what chores do the husbands do?

chores

on a good day he will take the garbage out. sometimes if I am lucky vacuum and fold laundry.

Re: what chores do the husbands do?

His main chore is garbage although he claims it is my job to put in the bag because it is a 50/50 relationship . He will start the laundry if I have been busy and will help me fold it if it is done when he is home.

He really will do anything I ask him to do if it needs to get done and I need help. Since we got a cleaning lady I try and do all the odds and ends while he is at work on Saturdays.

Re: what chores do the husbands do?

He always does the dishes (on his own) and take out the garbage (after I tell him to). On occasion, he will clean the bathroom. We send our laundry out. I do all of the cooking and vacuuming, dusting etc. and I put the clothes away.

Re: what chores do the husbands do?

Re: what chores do the husbands do?

Consistently, he takes out the garbage and brings the cans back in, does all the outdoor chores (lawn mowing, sprinkler fixing, etc.), and is in charge of dinner once or twice a week.

He's supposed to vaccuum and wash the floors too, but I've been doing it most of the time lately. He's got classes at night (he's a college student in addition to working full time), and has had a lot of studying and paper-writing to do in the evenings, and therefore not as much time to help around the house.

Besides that, if I ask him to, he'll help me fold laundry, put away dishes or straighten up around the house.

Re: what chores do the husbands do?

DH cleans.. I mean really cleans!!! It's fantastic!!

Re: what chores do the husbands do?

What ever I ask him to do.

His jobs include:
taking out the garbage and recycling
ironing
vacuuming
doing the dishes
making me tea in the mornings on the weekends and bringing it to bed or wherever I am.

And anything else I ask him to do. We share cleaning the bathroom and cleaning the cat's box.

One thing he never does is laundry. I can't trust him with that.

Re: what chores do the husbands do?

garbage/recycling
weekly grocery shopping (but right now it's easier for me to do)
makes the bed every morning
makes coffee in the morning
feeds cat/cleans litter box
folds laundry
picks up toys in playroom every night
lawn care/gardening
oil changes/car maintenance... he brings both cars to the mechanic.
post office if ever

He'll vacuum if I ask.

Before DC's he also emptied the dishwasher.

He's very neat.

Re: what chores do the husbands do?

He does all the laundry
Always takes the garbage out
Vacuums
Gets the coffee ready for the morning every night! (yes thats a chore to me!!)
Makes the bed during the week
cleans bathroom once in a while

But he is good when I just ask him to do something, MOST of the time he does things without a problem

Re: what chores do the husbands do?

Everything, he's a neat freak who sometimes drives me crazy. I do tend to do the baby's laundry and bathe the dogs. We tag team the whole house and always pick up after ourselves.

Re: what chores do the husbands do?

Takes out the trash and cleans the dinner dishes. He also fixes the sattelite dish when he goes out, that is the most important!

He does everything - honestly - I'm not a good cleaner. And I find no satisfaction in a clean house.
