True dat.

My husband and I both work full time, so we split the household chores 50/50. I do the cooking because, well frankly, my man couldn't cook his way out of a paper bag. But we have settled into a cleaning routine that works for us.

Daily maintenance is just done as needed (picking up our toddlers toys, etc). Sunday mornings I do a bunch of cleaning. Sort laundry, vacuum, mop, dust, etc. I leave all the shit I don't want to do (bathroom, dishes, etc) for him. I am a morning person and he is not, so when he finally gets the motivation to get off his ass, all that's left is icky gross jobs that I didn't do. And he does them without question. Works for us!

I'm the same way. I do whatever she doesn't want to. Except clean the bathroom. It's never icky so she doesn't mind. She's not a very good cook :geek:

So I do most of that.

It's all about teamwork!
:cheers:

We have two sons (so three males, I'm the only girl) and only one bathroom. That means the underside of the toilet seat is not something I want to be dealing with. :lol:

Teamwork! Gender roles be damned, do what works best for you and your partner! :cheers:

Well I am in agreement with this study. The old ways are often the correct ways and thats why they have been so successful. Knowing and accepting your gender specific roles helps maintain harmony.

Split house chores ?

Now use that new vacuum cleaner I bought you for your birthday, like a good girl.

How about...

When the wife does DIY, the marriage doesn't last. :flop:

Right! Because wimminnz are nuthin but baby making and cleaning machines. When I told my husband I wanted to get a job, he punched me in the face and in that moment, I knew he was right. I belong in the kitchen!
