Poll: Who takes care of what?
I was just reading in another post that Katie had to ask her DH for their cleaning lady's name and that made me wonder, what do each of you do? My DH probably doesn't' even know our cleaning lady's name, let alone her number!
Hopefully this speeds things up!
Who takes care of...
- Finances?
- Cleaning?
- Cooking?
- "Vendors" (like cleaning lady)?
- Social activities?
Re: Poll: Who takes care of what?
Who takes care of... - Finances? DH, but he talks to me about it all about once a month so I am not out of the loop.
Cleaning? - mostly me, but he does whatever if I ask.
Cooking? - mostly me, unless he gets a sudden urge to make something.
"Vendors" (like cleaning lady)? DH, lol
Social activities? both of us. If it's with his friends, he plans it... and vice versa.
He's my fairytale, a dream when I'm not sleeping.
<a href="http://s279.photobucket.com/albums/kk121/behapybride/?action=viewWho takes care of...
- Finances? He does all of that but we often talk about it together.
- Cleaning? We have the cleaning lady, I do any in-between maintenance, except for small chores I ask him to do (like taking out the garbage, helping empty the dishwasher, etc.)
- Cooking? Mostly me, but we often cook our meals together on Sundays for the week.
- "Vendors" (like cleaning lady)? I usually take care of this because a lot of them only speak Spanish. lol.
- Social activities? It depends on who we are going out with.
Who takes care of...
- Finances? I do all the bill-paying....we discuss big $$ items...
- Cleaning? I do during the week...everyone helps out on the weekends..
- Cooking? Unless he has a specific craving for something - I do...he does all the grilling outside...
- "Vendors" (like cleaning lady)? He does - landscaping, pool guy....
- Social activities? We both do....but my friends party more than his.....
good one,
Finances: I take care of it and if i need his opinion i ask.
Cleaning: I mostly clean the house, he helps me with the bathroom and when we have parties we both clean the house together.
- Cooking: I usually cook, sometimes he will help me.
- "Vendors" (like cleaning lady): He takes care of big things like we needed plumber he took care of it and talking to our landlord he takes care of it.
- Social activities: We both do....

- Cleaning? We normally clean together sometime during the weekend. The only exception is the laundry and ironing which I always do.
- Cooking? DH does the cooking since he get's home way earlier than me. I however clean up afterwards.
- "Vendors" (like cleaning lady)? Me unless it's anything having to do with the car.
- Social activities? I normally plan everything. He says I'm better at it so he just goes with the flow. The only exception is if it's anything having to do with his friends in which case he just checks with me to make sure I haven't scheduled us for anything else.
- Cleaning? We have a cleaning lady but I do most of the in between cleaning unless I ask for his help with something. He's pretty good about helping with the kitchen and laundry.
- Cooking? I do most of the cooking. He's cooking all the day so the last thing he wants to do when he gets home is spend more time in the kitchen.
- "Vendors" (like cleaning lady)? This is also split. I call any of the companies (phone, cable, car, insurance, etc.) if we ever have a problem with our bills, just because I'm more assertive. I deal with the more girly stuff like any decorating or cleaning vendors. He deals with the lawn people, any car repair vendors, handy-man stuff.
- Social activities? We both have our own groups of friends - if he wants to do something with hsi friends, he organizes it, and vice versa. If it's family stuff, the line is more blurred because we each frequently speak and hang out with each other's families without the other having to be there. I call his mom up and ask her when we're going to get together for dinner, the same as he will call my brother up and invite him to play beer bong at the house.
Who takes care of...
- Finances? Me, 100%
- Cleaning? 90% DH, 10% Me
- Cooking? 50/50
- "Vendors" (like cleaning lady)? Me, except cars, that is his area for the most part, I am car clueless
- Social activities? 90% me, 10% DH when it comes to doing activities together, like out to dinner, out w/ mutual friends, weekends/weekday activities, etc... He makes his own individual plans w/ his friends. We tend to do vacation planning together.
- Cleaning? me 90% he is suppose to be in charge of dishes and tub, the last time he cleaned the tub was about 4 months ago so I think i do 95% actually lol
- Cooking? me, unless he decides to cook something which he usually messes up by getting way to creative
- "Vendors" (like cleaning lady)? umm no clue
- Social activities? 50/50 sometimes we go out with his friends and he plans and when we go out with my friends, i plan it.
Finances- we're both super hands on with money- he makes most of it, we both manage it. we talk about any larger purchases pre-buying, and routinely go through the CC statement and make sure our month is going well. I usually shift money into savings, he covers most of the bills
Cleaning- me. he helps out when asked, but he just doesn't care about mess as much as i do. I REALLY care about the common areas, less about his bathroom. although, last week, I had to tell him to clean his bathroom because it was gross.
Cooking- me, 95% of the time
Vendors- we're 50/50 on that, but we don't really deal with that many
Social Activities- 90% him. I'm a hermit and don't usually make the plans! I like participating, but I don't always think of making them.
