FAO: married people or people living with their SO

How do you divide up the chores around the house? Do you share the work equally? Does each person have specific tasks to tend to? Do you do your own laundry, or does your partner do it for you? Is the work split up by man stuff/chick stuff? Does one of you do more work than the other?

What goes on?!

I do nothing around the house....I work all day and she doesn't. If she wants me to do something around the house then she can go get a job.

You sound like a real catch.

we do just about everything together that can be done together, but we always try to surprise each other by helping out whenever we can

I do laundry and dishes, she does deep cleaning and cooks. We both share the task in picking up/vacuuming/lawn work etc. It's hard to keep shit clean, we're both always working, or I'm in school, so the house can get kinda messy.

Well I mop, sweep, cook, do the dishes, do the laundry, sweep the deck, clean the windows/mirrors, vacuum, and iron my own clothes.

He catches spiders, stares out the window all day, gets his hair all over my stuff, sullies the cat-box, tears up my couch, knocks over vases, drinks out of my freshly poured glass of water even if he has his own, darts around corners at lightning speed, walks on my face at night and whines incessantly to get my attention or just whenever the porch door is open but the screen is still shut.

that sounds good

My wife does all the cleaning & cooking. When I get home from the welfare office I expect a full plate of chicken & ribs warm & ready for me. But i do take care of the outside work like cutting the grass, washing the car ect.

This is so fucking true, lol. My bf's mom did his laundry for so many years of his life that I really don't think he'll ever be diligent about getting it done. Instead of me bitching at him for having his dirty clothes piled up, I traded off cleaning the bathrooms for washing and folding his clothes. Makes sense anyway, I'm not the one who leaves beard trimmings all over the counter and pisses on the toilet seat.

I like to do things together, if I wash dishes then she dry's them and we get done a lot fast and the company helps make time go by faster. When it comes to laundry if you have to go to a laundry matt then I say go together because you don't want your woman around creeps. But if you laundry installed I say wash your own. When it comes to yard, I'll mow and rake and she can hold the trash bag open for me while I put the grass and leaves in them. If we need to clean house real bad we start in one room each at other corners and meet up in the middle again the company and conversation helps time go by faster IMO than you being in one room while she is in another, but some may like it that way.

I suggest a market system, where each party negotiates compensation for whatever chores he or she agrees to perform. This will prevent deadweight economic loss resulting from the performance of chores which would not have brought more than the value of the requisite labor on the market.

I absolutely loathe not having a dishwasher. Makes my life so much less convenient

No doubt Mrs. Hazard does more around the house then I do; however, I do quite a bit. I'm not sure how we arrived at the division of labour we have, as it was not really planned out... just kind of took shape. Generally, I do dishes, ironing, maintainence, lawn care, snow removal, and assist in other tasks if I'm home when they are being done. Mrs. Hazard does nearly all the cooking, dusting, laundry, gardening, mirrors/windows. The robots do the floors. Baby Hazard generally cleans up after herself.

Do you always have to be so much smarter than I? I can understand everything you say but I couldn't think of that my self since I have no edumcation.

I have one but really only run it once a week or so; subsequently, I still do dishes every night.

Call me crazy but men shouldn't use toilets unless their sh*ting.
There is nothing more liberation than a man taking a piss in his own backyard, it almost green man. Good for grass and plants

Yeah we have a dishwasher too, but prolly only use it once or twice a week....and usually every weekend after we have company over and they've used up all of the glasses for drinks, lol.

If I had a dishwasher, that fucking thing would get used practically every 2 days. Not only is it better for energy consumption (running water wastes a whole lot) but it eases my workload significantly. However, I wouldn't put expensive, delicate, or extra large dishes in there, just the everyday shit

Mrs Breach does most of the house work and all of the cooking. However i do help with dishes and cleaning around the house.


yard work i do on my own and washing of the cars.

i = breadwinner

Running water? Who the hell washes their dishes in running water?

Thing is you don't want to put anything with teflon in the dishwasher, some plastics, and even good dishwashers don't do a great job on some pots or casserole dishes; subsequently, you're going to need to do some dishes by hand every day or couple of days (depending on how much cookwear you have). We have 16 full place settings of our dishwear, cutlery, and glasses so we just let that build up until there's enough for a full load but the cookwear and Baby Hazard's dishes get done nightly.

I completely agree with Chem. If the wife isn't working then she has to do stuff around the house. Can't seriously expect the man to work all day and bring in the money and still take half of the housework.

We do, we don't have a double sink. But we only wash big stuff, pots+pans, etc. by hand. Dishwasher is pretty much just for plates, bowls, cups/glasses, and utensils.
