Chores

[gunslingerdick]

How are they divided up in your household? Do you have set responsibilities and your wife does as well? Or do you simply do what needs to be done and at some point, both you and your wife wash dishes, go grocery shopping etc.? Do you have kids? Do they have set chores?

In my house, I take care of yard maintenance, trash collection, do most of the cooking and I’m tasked with “picking up”. Picking up means just putting stuff in it’s right place, making sure dirty clothes are in hampers, blankets folded, food back in cupboards, etc. My wife does most of the grocery shopping, major cleaning (vacuuming, dusting) and all the laundry (I’ve done less than 20 loads of laundry in my life). My kids are lazy as shit but I can usually get them to feed the animals and put their clothes away that their mom has washed and folded. The whole family chips in on doing dishes.

How does it work for y’all?

I do everything.

Do you have set responsibilities and your wife does as well?

No, I would have to have a wife in order for her to do anything.

Or do you simply do what needs to be done and at some point, both you and your wife wash dishes, go grocery shopping etc.?

No, I do everything when I see fit because freedom.

Do you have kids?

No.

Do they have set chores?

I don't have kids. I do everything.

Interesting. So do you get help or do you do everything?

We have a maid. She's French. She doesn't wear a French maid outfit though. Go figure.

Depends on what it is. If it's a big project or something, which I don't do much of considering I live in a townhome, then I'll get some help. Otherwise, it's all me 24/7. I wouldn't have it any other way.

[Hark_The_Sound_2010]

Whatever I contribute in a given week, be it 1% of the work/chores or 99% of the work/chores, I get complained to for not doing my fair share.

C'est la vie.

Grilling isn't a chore. It's a way of life.

Don't believe my previous post, my friend. I do whatever she tells me to do whenever she tells me to do it....with a smile and a "yes ma'am!"

I may be a Marine but I ain't stupid.

Jack of all trades and master of none.

She does dishes and vacuums. I do everything else. No kids.

I work 50 to 55 hours a week. So I try to get the teenagers to do as much as they can. My wife cooks , takes care of everyone , does groceries , laundry , cleaning . I am gone from about 5 am til 6pm tuesday -saturday. I rest sunday and hang out and run chores on monday.

 

[coryfly]

I do the yard and take the trash off. She does all of the landscaping stuff. I'll help sometimes but it is really her deal.

I do the dishes and most all of the cleaning but I do it on Saturday (except for the dishes obviously) after golfing because she takes both kids to her parents for the day. That is a fine tradeoff for getting to golf for me.

I make the kids lunches for school. We all eat our own stuff for dinner so we are all on our own there.

I do my laundry and she does all the rest of it (her, kids, bedding, etc...).

I do all the grocery shopping and prefer it that way.

She deals with the kids and when they need new clothes, shoes, etc...

I do all the stuff for my boy and his baseball (practices, coach sometimes when asked, take him to the all star stuff, work with him, etc...). We both go to his games of course.

I do quite a bit with the cats I didn't really want (feed them, take them to the garage at night, etc...).

She remembers basically all we need to do. She has a calendar and keeps up with everything. I basically just spend time on here and work on my golf swing. She also does all the cooking and stuff for all our family functions.

Oh, people do. You know they do. I bet there's losers out there that still give the Middle English pronunciation of April -- "ah-PRIL"

Damn, I'm a nerd.

 

[JuleZ '02 HEEL]

We share most chores, but there are a few that are divided.

She plans the menu and does the grocery shopping, and cleans the kitchen.

I do the yard work, take out the trash, and clean the floors and bathrooms.

[heelbent]

Not the second time.

 

[Deezheelz]

I try to to do as much as I can for the wife January- March then I’m gone April for turkey hunting and fishing. Then I repeat May-mid September then gone for deer season. She doesn’t complain a bit so I help in any way I can. I do handle all the yard work and car maintenance stuff all the time, anything to be outside. She handles everything with the kids, she really is one helluva wife and mom and she’s my best friend.
