Just interested really as DH does help round the house so not a dig at him being lazy. Do you share the cleaning of the toilet with your partner? Its only when I thought DH has never cleaned any of the toilets since we have been together I started to wonder.
I am a SAHM but I mean never cleaned the toilet, not even at the weekend. It is the same with when the kids have sickness it is always me who scrapes the puke off of carpets, bed and the back seat of the car but that is a separate issue....
AIBU to think that once in a while DH should clean the toilet?

DH has never cleaned the bathroom or hoovered since I have been with him. Or dusted. Or cleaned any area, in fact, except the horizontal kitchen surfaces. The best you can say is that he never cleaned them when he was on his own either, so it's not that he expects me to do these jobs, he just doesn't do them.

I don't think this is OK but I am not prepared to have the rows required to change things.

sorry about that Iwannalaylikethisforever but wanted to ask the question to see if there was a higher % of women to men.

I'm sure I will drop off the 1st pg of threads soon...Watch out though I may return with another sensational thread such as 'why do women always have to return broken/unwanted crap back to the shops to get a refund' - just trivial shit really nothing of real use. Note to self much try harder.

We take turns with most unpleasant household tasks, including toilets and vomit. He seems to be mostly in charge of bins, and me mostly in charge of laundry.

I do the lions share as I am a sahm and do the full on bathroom clean twice a week, but during holidays and when he is around he does the big bathroom clean. I don't ask him, he just gets on with it. He's not a messy bathroom user though, and always cleans up after himself. Even chucks bleach down the loo when he feels the need. He is also much better than Mr at clearing up puke during d&v bouts between the 3dc.

OH is good if there is vomit/poo/wee stuff to be cleaned up (say if there is sickness in the house) He isnt always too hot on cleaning the loo straight away (though he has own loo so I dont usually notice). I think I do most loo cleaning but not too bothered, he does the litter trays and stuff.

I do not like going to use a toilet and seeing it has been left manky... I will pull people up on it
