Male / Female split of tasks in your relationship?

[BetterOffNow]

Following the driving thread I just wondered how many people have tasks which they consider to be his or hers?
Both my partner and I had lived on our own for many years before living together so had to do all the jobs which means we both still do stuff as it needs doing without any 'that's my / your job'.
Obviously if there's something one of us is better at there's some wiggle room with this, but both of us are perfectly capable and willing to do anything which needs doing.

YABU - there are still traditional male / female jobs in our house
YANBU - anything goes, unless one partner has particular skills

I do anything that involves a disgust element as DH vomits easily. So i get litter trays, dog poo bags, toilet cleaning, emptying the bins, blocked drains.

He does anything that involves heavy lifting as I had an injury that makes lifting hard.

He actually built half the house and I did decorating and made tea. I felt very trad wife when he did electrics, pipework, roofing, flooring, fitted kitchens and i just didnt have the strength so did painting and tiling and passed stuff.

Apart from that is pretty much whoever spots it needs doing.

Option C..I do way more of both pink and blue jobs. I do the bins, garden, power wash the car...

He does more of the school runs (this includes getting the child up and ready which can be painful) as I'm gone earlier.

I do cooking, electrical diy, finances, online food shop, and jet washing. Husband does cat litter, bins, cleaning up after dinner, carpentry diy, kids appointments and school stuff (and any sports activities). We both do washing, gardening, little cleans between the cleaner coming around, and we share school drop offs and pick ups. Works for us!

I do nearly all the cleaning and cooking, but DH also earns all of the money. We split kid related stuff 60/40 (me 40) when he’s at home. We have a cleaner who does all of the deep cleaning stuff so I’m just keeping on top of things really. He does all life admin, like sorting out bills etc. We have a gardener so don’t need to think about that. I do all laundry unless he wants something washing urgently and it isn’t my day to wash that kind of item (e.g. i do whites on a monday, so if he needs something white washing on a Wednesday he’ll do that). DIY he organises because he can’t do it and I don’t want to.

Some ‘traditionally male’ jobs DH does because he has the time and skills. But equally, because he is self employed and WFH (well, has a workshop at home) he can also do a lot of the ‘traditionally female’ jobs like cleaning, laundry and washing up. Whereas I’m out 8.30-5.30 most days. I do a lot of the school admin type stuff because I can bash off emails from work and understand more of the SEN stuff than him because I work in a related field. So I guess that’s a bit ‘traditionally female’.

I do the cooking and laundry. He does cars and bins.

We do more or less everything else together. Especially DIY. We've both been the DIYers in our previous relationships so we get things done fast (albeit with a few 'discussions' about preferred ways of doing them occasionally.)

But if he sees something needs doing, he does it, same as I do.

It has varied over the years, but we do tend to have jobs that I do and jobs that he does, mainly because one of us doesn't mind, or actively enjoys some jobs, whereas the other dislikes or actively hats some jobs.
These aren't necessarily jobs that were historically done by men or women therefore that's what we do divisions though.

We have quite traditional roles in some sense (eg I do all the school/kid admin, book holidays, help with homework, do the garden and he deals with everything to do with the car/DIY/most of the money stuff) but then I’ve always been the main breadwinner and he works part time so he does the food shop, most of the laundry and ironing and more cleaning. Cooking we both enjoy so that’s fairly equal. It works for us - we play to our strengths - although I would gladly swap a 50hr work week for laundry and shopping, it’s just never worked out like that.

DH does: laundry, most of the weekday cooking, school drop off, bins (obvs). Holidays booking and packing are all his happy place.

I work longer hours/earn more and do all the financial, school admin, school pick ups, most cooking except for weeknight dinners.

We have a cleaner.

We split: food shopping, anything to do with DC, household maintenance is split along a weird unspoken rules (I always do flat pack furniture, set up electronic equipment / internet etc., he fixes and mends things and does all the gardening).

I do shopping, washing and driving. DH does cooking, dishes and hoovering. I clean bathrooms and he cleans kitchen. We both muck in with anything else usually.
