How do you and your spouse split chores?

Question

What do you do, what does your spouse do? How much y’all work? Needing ideas....

Answer

Context: I'm mostly a SAHM & do some limited part-time work; my husband works full time.
He always takes out the trash & recycling & moves the cans to the curb & back, & he does morning & night dog care duty. Plus he will pitch in with miscellaneous chores &/or anything I ask him to do, willingly. If we're getting the house ready for hosting/a special occasion, he'll put in as much work as I do. He is also a full partner in taking care of our son whenever he's not at work. Otherwise I generally do the day-to-day stuff-- grocery shopping, cooking, dishes, dog stuff, laundry, etc.-- & obviously I care for our son. It's a pretty good balance for us.

Answer

I do most of the cleaning, vacuuming, bathrooms, mopping, mirrors, dusting etc.(mainly because he doesn't clean to my liking) He does most of the cooking and dishes ( I don't enjoy cooking) And we both do laundry, but I'd say I do the majority of our laundry. He takes care of 100% of the bills (he's good with money) and I'm the good cop who always calls Xfinity (I have a way with words and some how always get our account a credit). He does the grunt work, I shovel. We trade on and off reading the kids books to bed and it works for us. However I will say if I need a night off, he's more than happy to jump in and be super dad and vice versa.

Answer

My man only hoovers 
( I can't stand it)
I work full time but he works almost double than me.
I make his lunch & coffee before he goes to work every single morning @ 6am
And I make his dinner in the evening 😍
I do all the dishes, the cooking, the laundry, feeding & cleaning the cats. I clean the kitchen, bathroom & all the dusting.
Just because i'm pretty particular the way I hang the washing or do the dishes 😂
I wouldn't have it any other way 
He works hard for us, even though we pay 50/50 for our mortgage & house...
He will take me for dinner & treat me 😊
Anything I can do to make his life easier. 
He is a crane driver & can only imagine the stress of such a job

Answer

My husband just takes out trash and cleans cat litter only because I prefer it that way. Sometimes hell vacuum. I  like doing the other stuff myself cause I like it being done my way. He does help when I ask him for help.

Answer

My husband and I both work full time, he works some overtime (including Saturday’s for the most part)
He cooks and takes care of the lawn/Yardwork. I clean the dishes, bathrooms and grocery shop. Then we fold the laundry together and will clean the house together. We both agree we need to clean more though, we both aren’t the cleanest people and wish we were

Answer

We both work full time, he works nights I work during the day and we have two kids.
I do the cooking, I’m in charge of all expenses, we share housework so he does do the hoovering, cleans bathroom, bedroom and irons school uniform. I wash dishes, bathe the children and organise how the bills etc are paid. 
I’m on mat leave so I do most of the chores now and cooking, when he is off from work he does the school run while I stay at home with the baby, he helps with doing homework
I also do all of the night feeds and food shopping as I’m the only one that drives.
My husband gets to rest when one child is at school and I’m with the baby, I get a bit of rest when the baby is sleeping.

Answer

I only work 20 hours a week so I do most of the cleaning. I also have 2 preteens that do daily chores. My husband works 40 hours a week and he usually does the dishes, helps kids with homework, takes out trash, takes care of dogs, clean litter box, and helps me with laundry every weekend. I don’t see a need for chores to be “even”. We both do our share and I love cleaning and don’t mind it. Even when I worked 40 hours a week it was this way and never bothered me.

Answer

We both work full time and I have a 13 year old and 8 year old. My husband does the grocery shopping and all the cooking. He takes care of outdoor tasks. Garbage and recycling are split between us and the kids. I do laundry, kids fold and put away. I clean the kitchen daily. We have two bathrooms. I usually do the light cleanings and monthly my husband will deep clean them. One bathroom is the kids and they are learning to clean it. Usually when I vacuum my husband likes to re do it so he typically handles that. The kids are starting to share some of the chores like unloading dishwasher and such too.

Answer

I do indoor chores (dishes, laundry, floors, bathrooms, etc...) and he does outdoor chores (mowing, snow shoveling, car maintenance, etc....) 
He works, I stay home with our daughter.

Answer

We have seperate bathrooms so he does his and I do mine, he will help with dishes but everything inside is my responsibility and everything outside is his. It works for us.
