to ask if you do more than your DH

On almost every single thread on here I see predominantly women talking about them buying DC clothes, what type of cleaning they do, food ideas which they cook, the washing that they do etc

Is that just for ease of typing instead of saying we do? Or do many women tend to do the majority of domestic chores. I honestly thought we moved into a slightly more equal world as DH and I genuinely split things equally and it wouldn’t cross my mind to do things any other way?

I think my DH does more than me.

He does: bills, budgeting, childcare paying, bins.

I do: meal planning/grocery shopping, toys/clothes organisation and buying for the kids.

We both do: our own laundry, split the kids laundry (he does it, I fold and put away), medical appointments for the kids, cook/clean up (take turns).

Cleaner does cleaning and vacuuming etc.

We had an explicit conversation about how to split up tasks when we moved in together. I think assuming that you'll just each pitch in and do what needs doing will almost always end up the woman doing more of it.
