A&A'smommy replied: I SAH, I voted other because usually I do everything but he does help every once in a while laugh.gif

Kirstenmumof3 replied: thumb.gif I voted other. I am SAHM and he works so I do most of the work around the house, but he does help. thumb.gif

5littleladies replied: I voted other too. I'm a sahm and usually do most of the work but dh pitches in a bit when he gets home, but with the addition going on dh is busy all the time so I'm trying not to ask him for help. smile.gif

KatieLeigh79 replied: I said I do it all, atm I'm what his mother calls "just a mom" (granted thats all she ever was with a Nanny as well) but when he gets home he expects dinner then goes down to the computer - thats the extent of what gets done around here by him... its okay though, he supports us so I can't complain to much...

lsjulee replied: Both of us WOH. He is NOT a cook. So he has to clean. laugh.gif

momof2girls replied: We split
I work outside the home part time
he works midnights
I think all DH should help!

aspenblue1 replied: we split it both of us woh.

amynicole21 replied: Well, we both WOH full time. DH does MOST of the cooking and cleaning, and I do MOST of the baby care (bathing, entertaining, nursing, driving to and from daycare, etc.) DH probably gets the raw end of the deal, but I do help out. However, I voted that DH does it all and I watch tv rolling_smile.gif

MommyToAshley replied: It really depends on the day and who has more going on with work. (We both WAH) I do all the cooking, but DH does most of the yard work, and we both help clean the house and care for Ashley. In the end, I think it works out to be 50/50.

CantWait replied: I'm a SAHM and I do EVERYTHING. DH comes home from work and either a) naps cool.gif watches t.v., even if I was watching something or c) goes straight to the computer. When I worked out of home, dh might pitch in with dinner or dishes once in a while huh.gif

MomToMany replied: I voted "I do it all", because I pretty much do it all around the house. I'm a SAHM who does do some work to make money also. It's kinda hard to explain exactly what I do, but it's work. So, on top of doing that (which is almost a full-time job), I also have to do all the housework. Granted, he does support us, but so do I. He takes care of everything outside, so I guess I should've voted 50/50.

Kaitlin'smom replied: 50/50 we both WOH full time so we both do things inside and out, well I dont mow grass, but I do weed and things, we both cook and clean, I do seem to do more on occasion but it all works out in that aspect. I do take more care of kailtin than he does....but we are working on that

Boys r us replied: We're a 50/50 couple I'm pleased to say!
I told him from the beginning that we both work 40 hours a week and that means that the house and the kids are BOTH of our responsibilities..end of story. He listened thumb.gif

coasterqueen replied: I voted I clean, DH cooks. smile.gif

We used to have a cleaning person, but with money being tight to work on our basement we got rid of her, lol. So I agreed to do all the *major* cleaning. Dh does the cooking always. He helps with the *minor* cleaning.

Before our cleaning lady we shared the responsibility, but DH still did all the cooking.

DansMom replied: DH does a lot of the grubby cleaning, like the tub, that I hate to do. He does all of the vacuuming and most of the laundry (but doesn't fold my things or lay them flat so they don't wrinkle mad.gif). I do all of the food shopping and all of the cooking, but I just taught him how to make spagghetti with jarred sauce and a pound of ground beef LOL. I do the toilets and the catbox, and clean up hairballs. We're about 50/50 on the dishes these days. I dust when dusting gets done, which isn't often. He does all of the yardwork and takes out the trash. He takes both vehicles in for oil changes---I never do that. I do all of the bills, balance the checkbook and the figure out the taxes, including his self-employment forms. OH, I woh weekdays. DH is a musician and usually works evenings, so he's home during the day.

MomToJade&Jordan replied: I voted that I do all the work because I really do. I'm a SAHM and he goes to work so it kind of makes sense.

kimberley replied: i didn't vote because i looked at the results and now i can't lol DUH!!! huh.gif
With the kids, Jamie and I are about 50/50. with housework, he does the garbage and mows the lawn and will tidy a bit and BBQ on the weekends. i do the rest.

3xsthefun replied: I voted "other" I usually do it all I'm a SAHM.

He does get in his moods where he will try to help out, he also has been cooking more. Since it is has been warmer out he has been cooking out on the grill.

holdensmom replied: I'll have to say Other. It's hard to determine, but I lean more towards me doing more. I WAH & WOH. DH WOH. I do most of the household cleaning, etc. He mows the lawn, takes out the trash, etc.

Mom2Boyz replied: I'm a sahm, so I do 99% of the housework and cooking. Every once in a while though Larry will help me with something. Doesn't happen very often though tongue.gif

Zoe'sMommaCamie replied: i voted for other. i SAH and he WOH, so i do all that i can when he is at work, and when he gets home, around 7:00 pm, he eats his dinner, usually bathes zoe and feeds her a night time bottle, and then we put her to bed together.

Maddie&EthansMom replied: I am a SAHM...I take care of the house and the kids. DH does the bills (although lately that has been 50/50.) He does all the yard work. wink.gif I must say that he is VERY good and willing to help out with housework and the kiddos when asked. Sometimes you just hate asking though!! I can't complain...he is a very hard worker. thumb.gif

jdkjd replied: I said 50/50 although sometimes I feel like I do more of the drudge (laundry, cooking) while he gets to do the fun stuff (go to the mall, store with Bailey who behaves better in public than at home). And since he can't breastfeed-the baby is mine...

jem0622 replied: DH does lots of laundry, has organized/donated toys many times over, takes care of the boys during the day, takes care of the cat boxes, does some cooking, and mops the kitchen floor.

We both do the dishes. We both mow the lawn.

I tend to do the bathrooms/organize other areas/dust/do major cooking. I do laundry on the weekends since he sleeps. I also wipe down surfaces (I love Clorox wipes!). There are areas I have to improve on/declutter...but overall I think things are pretty good.

DH is a SAH by day and works nights and weekends. I WOH Monday through Friday.



My2Beauties replied: I voted 50/50 only because I'm not a cleaner wub.gif , DF cleans mostly everything but when it comes to Hanna (bathtime, mealtime, changing clothes, etc...) it's all MOMMY! tongue.gif Which I can't complain because I don't clean anything plus I don't cook a whole lot since I have night classes 4 nights a week and he stays home with Hanna! Man I make myself sound terrible. But when I get home I do have to get Hanna ready for bed and all that good stuff. That's not fair, he gets to play peek-a-boo and watch her play with her toys and stuff while I'm stuck giving her a bath, giving her her medicine when she has some to take and fighting with her to go to sleep...oh does she fight her sleep! mad.gif
