Our house cleaners!
My fiancé n I both do dha job
We have a family with four kids so housework is everyone's job. The kids have assigned chores and we pick up the rest as a team. With me working full time and him in clinical rotations perfection has gone by the wayside. The truth of the matter is the dishes are just as happy in the sink as they are in the cupboard and time is precious so let it go.
Well it's both our responsibility but he ends up doing more than I do
She does an amazing job! she cleans the house and I clean my plate. Great arrangement.
We kinda share the responsibility. She can't clean so much because of her cancer battle recovery, and I clean what I see when I have some spare moments. Otherwise, she lets me know what she needs cleaned and I (usually) get to it shortly.
We share the tasks.
I pretty much take on all the cleaning. As a wife I like to. My husband sometimes helps. And he always takes out the trash for me.
We share it. We've both taken each others least favourable jobs.
We don't have a house, but she usually takes more initiative with cleaning...
When we do move in together hopefully it will be a joint venture
My beautiful bride usually does it
It's a team job but my girl does most of it
We all should take ownership of part of that job. In our house we have 3 and we all do our part, although my better half bares the brunt. I do try and do dishes and help in the kitchen and occasionally fold and put away laundry. She gets one day extra at home and tends to get us caught up. I'm getting better at it. At least we don't have to do the yardwork! TG for our gardener!
Yes, the yard would be an issue for us for sure. Technically my 1 day extra at home though I should be doing other things... so finding the balance is what we still need to strive for with all of us.

I don't think any one person should be responsible for the entire house. I tend to do most of the cleaning though. Would prefer if everyone participated. He is very good about the dishes, now we just need to hire a housekeeper to do the laundry :)
Definitely would love the housekeeper.
