Re: what cleaning/ chores do you do?

I dust, take care of dishes when the dishwasher doesn't, will windex something occasionally but I use a lot of paper towels so it doesn't touch my skin. I vacumm and swiffer, etc. I will also put away the laundry.

If I do use a chemical product to clean my sink or countertop, I use rubber gloves. It's rare when I do that though.

DH does the laundry, heavy lifting, garbage, cleans the bathrooms, walks the dogs and is the designated poop picker upper if we walk them together.

Re: what cleaning/ chores do you do?

I still do everything I used to if I have an off day I let it go for a day and do the lighter stuff but I am 6 1/2 months pregnant with my 3rd and I cant let things just go and my husband is not the type to just go ahead and do things and even if he was Id feel bad since the house is my job..

Re: what cleaning/ chores do you do?

i've been cooking and cleaning.
dh has been doing dishes!! which is a huge help!
i am totally capable and able to do pretty much everything right now (20wks prg)
im sure toward months 8/9 i'll be needing more of my husband's assistance.

Re: what cleaning/ chores do you do?

DH has always done more cleaning than i have and is pretty self sufficient. However, now that I am 36 weeks i try not to overdue it but i cant help it since i must have a clean house. I do clean the bathroom, vaccumm, and clean the kitchen. DH does the laundry for us and I do the kids laundry.

Re: what cleaning/ chores do you do?

Me:
Make dinner
Dust
clean bathroom
mop floors
put laundry in the wash

DH:
Takes laundry out of the wash simply bc I don't want to
Does the dishes
Vaccuums
Waters the plants- bc I like how he does it (and I don't want to)

Re: what cleaning/ chores do you do?

I've been doing pretty much everything. DH has been doing the dishes more often, but that's the only difference really. Mostly because by the time I'm done cooking I'm too exhausted to wash dishes.

Re: what cleaning/ chores do you do?

i cleaned my whole apt. today and ive been taking care of DH since he had his appendix out last Friday

he yelled and said i did too much and im sure my mother would scream at me but it has to get done

I also carried my 26lb. 10 month old nephew yesterday

If i feel tired, i stop

Re: what cleaning/ chores do you do?

I still do pretty much everything I used to do pre-pg. I just leave any heavy lifting to DH. Although DH is MORE than happy to pick up any slack, the day I caught him cleaning the toilets with windex, I decided it's better to do things myself! LOL

Re: what cleaning/ chores do you do?

I do it all. I cook, dust, vacuum, do the laundry (which includes carrying it up and down the stairs), mop the floors, clean the bathrooms and I think that's it.

I don't do the garbage...that's dh's job.

Re: what cleaning/ chores do you do?

Being induced in 3 days..... yup, still doing all the chores I typically do, just without the same vigor! (Not being able to bend definitely cramps my style!)

I am especially cooking a lot with DD, as that is usually how we spent quality time, and I want to get in as much time with her as possible before the baby comes. However, the all-day eggplant making yesterday wiped me out!!!! Today she has just brownies planned! Thank goodness!

Re: what cleaning/ chores do you do?

I do everything. As long as your not on bedrest I think a preggo can live life as normal!!

Re: what cleaning/ chores do you do?

I do everything I did before.

Re: what cleaning/ chores do you do?

I do almost everything I did pre-pg except cleaning the bathroom. I used to scrub the bathtub with clorox gel, but I dont want to smell the chemicals anymore, so my DH took that over. He lifts the laundry baskets, but I dont mind doing the laundry. I still vacuum, I have never had a problem with it and for the countertops we use a natural cleaner without chemicals...

What's a chore?

Figures

Re: what cleaning/ chores do you do?

I do what I cna handle. I still do laundry, clean the kitchen, mop the floor (occassionally), vaccum, make the bed, etc. But, DH cleans the bathroom. I really never cleaned the bathroom before being pregnant b/c the cleaning products are strong and my asthma flared up. Now being pregnant, I don't want to breath that stuff in either. DH does a lot around the house to help out though. Although, I think we are both getting tired and we have let things go a bit.

Re: what cleaning/ chores do you do?

I didn't do much cleaning before I got pg. Now that I am pg, I do even less.

We have a cleaning lady come twice a month. DH usually does the dishes and takes out the trash.
