Re: Chore Poll (non-clicky)
Lately I have been doing it all for obvious reasons, but under normal circumstances:
Laundry - Both
House cleaning - Both
Trash - Both
Groceries - Both
Bill paying - Me
Cooking - Me
Laundry - Me
House cleaning - we share--I do kitchen and bathrooms, he does the rest
Trash - both
Groceries - we like to shop together
Bill paying - I mail the checks, he does the online stuff
Cooking - mostly me, but he does cook. I would say 70% me, 30% him
Laundry - I do mine, he does his. I do our towels and sheets.
House cleaning - We share this. Pretty equally too.
Trash - Whoever fills it empties it.
Groceries - We go shopping together although I'd do it myself if I need to.
Bill paying - I just do the one or two credit cards I have myself. He does the rest.
Cooking - I do most of it although he's pretty self-sufficient in this area too.
Laundry - It's about equal. We will both start loads when needed, fold, and put away.
House cleaning - I think I do. I do 95% of the dishes, vacuuming, sweeping. I clean up after the dogs. K makes the bed every day and we each clean our own bathroom (we don't share).
Trash - That's my job too. Mainly b/c I get home first so I just take all the trash out before I settle in for the night. She has done it a few times lately when the driveway was icy.
Groceries - I do the shopping but K will tag along now and again. I always spend more when she is with me so sometimes I'd rather go alone. However I enjoy our weekend shopping trips to Sam's Club together. :-p
Bill paying - We pay bills separately so I have to say it's equal.
Cooking - Breakfast - she only eats it on the weekends so she will cook then (and it's super yummy!). Dinner - it's a toss up. Especially lately. I used to cook dinner 4-5 nights a week with left overs or snacks the other nights. Now we tend to eat whatever we each feel like. This is mainly b/c I am starving when I get home and she gets home later and doesn't eat until even later at night.
I am a SAHM, so I see it as part of the job to keep our house clean, plan meals and grocery shop to save us money. (though I don't contribute a salary, I do try and save us money where ever I can) That way when DH comes home/has off on the weekends we can spend our time together as a family and not have to worry about chores. When I was working full time chores were divided, we usually tackled the house together on the weekends.
BFP 8.9.12 EDD 4.15.12 M/C 8.19.12
BFP 10.11.12 EDD 6.24.12 M/C 10.19.12
Laundry - Me (he does his own, and ds's every once in a while, I do my clothes and all the towels/linens)
House cleaning - Me
Trash - DH
Groceries - Me
Bill paying - Me
Cooking - Me, though dh tutors alot during the week, so is not home for dinner. If he's home before me and knows what we're having, he'll get it started sometimes
Who does the following chores more often, you or DH?
Laundry - both
House cleaning -He pitches in, but I do the majority of it.
Trash - Usually him.
Groceries - I love to grocery shop! He usually runs to BJ's for the big items.
Bill paying - Me
Cooking -Me. DH is an awesome cook, but since I am home I do most of it. I like to cook big meals and I love to bake.
House cleaning - Me.
Trash - DH
Groceries - Me, unless I ask him to.
Bill paying - DH. I don't even open them when they come!
Cooking - Me.
Laundry - both/me
House cleaning - me
Trash - him
Groceries - both (together)
Bill paying - him
Cooking - both
Laundry - I do all laundry, except DH is responsible for folding and putting away his own clothes. He's not allowed near the washer since the great sweater incident of 2002.
House cleaning - Mostly me, although DH handles about 90% of the dishes.
Trash - I think this one is split.
Groceries - I always make the menu and grocery list every week. I probably do the shopping 80% of the time.
Bill paying - DH, almost exclusively, unless we can't pay online for things like Dr. type bills. Then I'll call and pay.
Cooking - Historically me, lately though, mostly DH, but only because he works from home most days and I'll get home after he finishes work for the day. Whoever gets home first makes dinner.
Who does the following chores more often, you or DH?
Laundry - Me, but DH will if he needs something or I ask.
House cleaning - Pretty even, but leaning more toward me.
Trash - DH
Groceries - Both, because DH is on a rotating shift schedule, so sometimes it's just easier for him to go, or us to go together. I love grocery shopping alone though!
Bill paying - DH, but he gives me the executive summary. hahaha!
Cooking - Me, but DH has to fend for himself a lot, being on a weird schedule. He's really good at omelets.
Also, when we had a house, DH was in charge of the 'outdoor' chores, like mowing. He also handles home repair and car maintenance. Yay gender roles! Hahaha

Natural cycle (just Met) = BFP#2 6/3/11, Baby A arrived 2/16/12
