Random dday to day errands

He:
Looks after garden

Cars
Bins
Big finances
Half cooking
Hoovering sometimes
Helps with 'big' cleans
IT/technology, like fixing my new phone when I can't
Makes phone calls/complaints I don't want to!

I guess we're pretty gender stereotypical at the mo, though we both work equally hard in the house.

Direct quote. Needs to extend his vocab but otherwise he's really quite... lovely. Grin

I clean some things and I cook either meat with stir in sauce, things in the oven or use the microwave. Mainly I look after our child. I love a clean flat but sometimes I am really lazy so leave it messy when he is at work but he usually will then have a mad clean up on his day off.

He cooks things, cleans, drives me about as I wont drive, gets up with our daughter and does everything really. When we met he was very much more house trained. I am getting better those as I get a bit older. He never moans and he loves me cause I am a complete bedroom slut mwahaha ;)

Um all the cooking, all the cleaning, all the getting dc to and from places, all organising for trips etc, all the accounts and bill payments, most the child minding, sexual favours,
but flat refuse to learn to use the coffee maker and therefore he is reduced to making his own(DH thinks I am a bit dim when it comes to anything electronic but little does he know it is not that I can't learn it more that I don't want it added to my list of to do's) He hasn't cottoned on in 17years that it is a choice!!!
