TTC Since January 2011 - We have bad spermmeal prep/cooking- mostly me, he does once in a while.
laundry- me, unless I work late and he needs close
house cleaning- all me
washing dishes- DH
bill paying/finances- me and I hate it
takes out the trash- both
car maintenance- we take care of our cars individually
yard work- DH, I have horrible allergies with cut grass
home repairs/maintenance- DH
organizes social events- we are homebodies
family birthdays (keeping track/cards,gifts,calls)- mostly me
pet care (feeding/walkings/cleaning up) we both do this, DH cleans the yard poop and we usually both walk.
I think most of this will stay the same, although we will switch laubdry/dishes when I get pregnant so I won't have to carry the clothes basket up and down stairs.

In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!
T-TTC since Dec 2008. PCOS/nonexistant cycles(anovulation) and endo. HSG in '10 revealed both tubes blocked. Lap surgery in Dec '10 to correct. Failed Clomid/IUI and injectable(Bravelle)/IUI cycles so far.
I can't see this changing very much when we have kids... I certainly am not going to start doing yard work. He probably would help out with laundry a little more, just because there would be 3 of us.

Meal prep/cooking - About 70% me, 30% DH. DH has certain meals he cooks like anything barbecue or white sauce lasagna.

Yard work - Mostly DH, but I'll help with certain work.
