All hands on deck- I.e. we all help. Equally.
We work together to do things around the house, its wierd though because im more like a house husband lol i love to clean ! She does A LOT as well so we both get the job done :)
We both clean the house
We both spend sometime on certain things. I would say I do more of the maintenance and he will help with big jobs and the bathrooms.
Since my wife went back to work full time and I am self employed, I now do all of the cleaning, cooking and shopping. She takes care of the books and earns 2.5 times more than I do. It's only fair that I take over what was previously her work.
Our housekeeper, thank God! We decided that this was the best set up to prevent issues and we were RIGHT!
This is an example of a task where the situation is the boss. Our mutual approach to housekeeping is inertia ("a place for everything and everything in its place" contracts down to "Everything every place!"). So we are most likely to thoroughly clean the house when expecting company - and then it's a frenzy of my spouse attacking kitchen as I mop floors, scrub bathrooms, clear clutter (mostly mine) from flat surfaces, and spiff outside, and most vacuuming.
Jennifer does a better job cleaning the house but she is not "responsible" for it. I believe that things like this should be shared in a relationship, and both persons should want to pitch in and help out. We don't argue over minor things like this, our relationship is way better than that. She's my queen and I don't ever want her to feel like she "has" to do something.
We tend to share the responsibility. But I do feel that sometimes I am cleaning more the she is.
That is women's work. Jeez.
We all are responsible but my babe usually does it
We both help out with cleaning the house and other chores
we both do the cleaning in the house. there is no set rules for who does what it is just we both clean when we have time and it needs to be done
It should be a 50/50 thing
We both clean the house, although our habits are different. I tend to do a little here and there and she likes to do massive cleaning sessions.
