Re: What are DH's "responsibilities"?

I do way more than he does but he won't admit it. I guess he feels like I should throw him a freakin parade when he does something.

Like last week, he actually did great! He said, well I had to do it...this week..I'm not so lucky.

We don't have responsibilities divided. I do what I can and what I can't I ask him to do. Then I ask again..and again..and then I do it anyway most of the time.

eta: we have a landscaper and a cleaning lady and that is the only thing that saves me.

Re: What are DH's "responsibilities"?

He does all of the yard work- mowing the lawn, etc etc. Not much doing in that category right now since its winter.

Right now, since I'm pg- he cleans the bathroom.

Although, I do have to say that DH is really great when it comes to helping me out with the cleaning.

Re: What are DH's "responsibilities"?

we are in an apt. so no outside, but he will take out the garbage, or i will depending on the day. since he is home now, he'll do the laundry and dishes. he cooks and we both clean up afterwards. i'll vacuum and he'll swifter, stuff like that. and we switch, so i don't have jobs and he doesn't have jobs, make sense?

Re: What are DH's "responsibilities"?

He pays the bills, takes out the garbage, and occasionally does dishes and laundry.

Re: What are DH's "responsibilities"?

All yard work and anything involving tools - inside and outside

Occasionally he'll make dinner and/or go grocery shopping

ETA: takes out garbage

DH duties:

Vacuums
Takes out the garbage
Cleans up after dinner most nights (I usually cook)
Does all the laundry
Crap around the house (hanging up things etc.)
Makes the bed most days

My duties:
Clean the bathroom
Clean the kitchen
Bills
Most of the cooking
Do any planning that has to be done (vacations, weekends etc.)
Make the bed if I'm up after DH left

We both:
Take care of the dog equally
Usually go grocery shopping together. If anything he goes more often.
Empty the dishwasher

ets: I consider myself very lucky. He does a lot for us, if not more than his share

Re: What are DH's "responsibilities"?

We dont have "set" ones either, we just share them really. He does a lot of the cooking during the week (works night and is home during day) and I clean on the weekends. He does the laundry most of the time, again, he is home in the daytime and I don't get in till 7:30ish.

We have seperate bank account at the moment because we aren't married yet, so we both balance our own accounts.

He does the handyman stuff though.

Re: What are DH's "responsibilities"?

Making sure I'm HAPPY!!!!



I'm actually pretty lucky. DH does a lot. We share most responsibilities such as cleaning, cooking, and laundry, but there are things that are more his job and things that are more mine:

More His:
- Cooking (b/c he gets home first, and honestly, is better at it)
- Cleaning the litter box
- Taking out the garbage
- Taking care of all things electronic & technical
- Making special trips the post office or dry cleaner

More Mine:
- Cleaning the bathroom
- Making the bed
- Cleaning the bedroom
- Paying the bills (this is 100% mine)
- Sorting the laundry (although we both do the wash, I have to sort it first)
- Ironing - all me
