Who does what housework in your household? And does it work well for you?

[Hulababy]

Just curious and nosey, lol! And avoiding housework

I work PT - every morning, term time only.
DH works FT.
Have 1 7y DD, who is in school.

We do tend to do similar tasks week or week, kind of worked out that way over the years. But so far it seems to work well for us. There is little variation in school holidays, as I tend to doing stuff with DD, not extra stuff when off work.

Me* Cleaning/tidying of general household, day to day stuff

• Vacuuming
• Cleaning kitchen/bathrooms
• Cleaning out hamster
• Shopping (although usually online)
• Cooking
• Collecting DD from school in afternoon, and transporting her to/from most after school activities/playdates
• Supervising homework
• Planning and booking holidays, parties, social engagements, etc - inc maintaining diary/calendar
• Making sure DD's school bag has everything sorted, etc plus snacks - although gettign DD to do this more and more

DH* Sorting car stuff

• Managing finances and bills, insurances, etc.
• All our ironing, inc putting all away of clothes, underwear, etc.
• Takes DD to school each morning
• Collects DD from a couple of after school clubs each week
• Tidies up after evening meal and sorts kitchen/dishwasher
• Puts out bins and recycling
• Bedtime

We both do lots with DD in our spare time and spend lots of family time together. We both read with her, play, etc. And if people are coming for weekend, etc. and there is extra stuff to do in house we both chip in.

I do it all and no itbloody doesn't

but as I am the only person over 6 in my house, I'm kind of stuck with it!

I work part time (variable shifts)

DP is full-time (and some) - he runs his own business so is often late, weekends etc

I do the overwhwelming majority of the 'housework' (cleaning etc)

Laundry and ironing

Kids lunches

DP:

Gardening

DIY

Most of the cooking

He is not averse to housework though and if I am working weekends or whatever will happily do the bathroom

Seems to be allergic to emptying the bloody dishwasher though

Ah, that's difficult Colditz. Hopefully when the little ones get bigger they can help???

On the whole it works well

I don't mind doing most of it (I am here most of the time, after all. And DP works very hard and is excellent with the DC and all their day-to-day stuff)

But I do get pissed off when he leaves his crap everywhere (he is an untidy bugger)

In a way, it's easier. I get to choose what and when I do things. nobody interferes and I don't have a sense of seething resentment that I am slogging while someone else contemplates his navel!

colditz ditto...I do the whole lot..
but im a single mum with a 16 yr old DS and one at uni who does absolutely nothing. DS2 does occasionally hoover floor or mow lawn...but prefers to do chores for others as he gets paid.
