QOTD
What is your favorite household chore?
What is your least favorite?
How do you and your hubby divide up chores?
Re: QOTD
My favorite chore is cleaning the bathroom. I love to take baths, but I have to have a clean tub...so I like cleaning the bathroom b/c it means I can take a bath!
I HATE doing laundry. I hate waiting for it and folding it and putting it away. Our dryer at the new place was broken until last night, so today I'm having to do all the laundry from since we moved. blah.
We don't explicitly divide chores. Except DH always does the dishes. But when its cleaning day (usually a Sunday afternoon), we just pull out all the cleaning supplies and divide and conquer. I do all the daily picking up and stuff, but for major cleaning, he helps. His big job he loves to do is dust the ceiling fans and get cobwebs out of the corners. He's tall enough to do it!
What is your favorite household chore?
Cleaning the kitchen, minus the dishes.
What is your least favorite?
Vaccuuming / Dusting. I don't know why I hate vaccuuming so much, but I loathe it.
How do you and your hubby divide up chores?
He does most of the dishes, but I usually put them all away. We kinda divide up laundry duty, he vaccuums, and I put up all of the miscellaneous stuff that's been left out around the apartment and file away all of the paper stuff.
What is your favorite household chore? I don't mind actually doing the laundry. Putting it away is a different story though, but actually putting it in the washer, dryer, etc. I don't mind.
What is your least favorite? Washing dishes/cleaning out the sink/unloading the dishwasher. I refuse to clean out the trays that block any food from going down the sink... it just absolutely grosses me out.
How do you and your hubby divide up chores? We also divide and conquer. I usually Windex the glass tables, clean the granite, and vacuum. He usually cleans the SS appliances, dusts, and Swiffers. Then we go upstairs and throw all the clean clothes onto our bed and sort them and put them away together. MIL does all the chores in her house, while FIL sits in his chair... I made it VERY clear to DH that that would not be acceptable.

TTC on hold until December
What is your favorite household chore? I don't mind washing the dishes.
What is your least favorite? I refuse to iron. I'm not very good at it, and in my house my dad always did it, so I have decided it's a man's job.
How do you and your hubby divide up chores? We have a housecleaner once a week
This is really normal in Chile and not too expensive. We LOVE her and the fact that she does all the heavy cleaning and laundry. During the week, things like dishes and basic clean-up just get done by whoever's around and has more time, we don't have a set arrangement.

What is your favorite household chore?
Laundry (minus folding and putting away the clothes), vacuuming, and cleaning the toilet...I know, it's weird
What is your least favorite?
Dishes, especially since our dishwasher is crap and doesn't even clean them.
How do you and your hubby divide up chores?
Basically, one of us gets sick of seeing a mess and cleans it up. He generally does his own laundry and cleans one of the bathrooms and then I'll clean the other bathroom. He will also shred everything in sight, even if it's a bill we still have to pay.
Favorite: Laundry. I like how I put the clothes in the washer and they come out clean without doing a ton of work to get them clean.
Least Favorite: Dishes. I don't like excess food on my hands.
Division of Chores: Right now, I'm doing all of them because I'm home and H is working crazy hours. When H isn't working as much, he tends to do the dishes. We have a cleaning person who comes every other week to do the deep cleaning and dusting.
Favorite: Ironing, I'm awesome at it and I've been ironing my own clothes since the age of 6. Yes, 6 years old! I was always so interested in ironing when my mom did it, and I was a very cautious child, so my mom put the setting on low and stood by me the entire time. Ever since, I've been ironing like a pro. Some people even comment on DH's creases. I can't help but to smile.
Least: Everything else..haha! Seriously though, I HATE doing dishes and picking up laundry. I don't know why, but I just do. Oh, that and dusting. Can't stand it.
Divide: I pretty much do everything, since DH works 7/7, but when he's home, I get him to do the dishes and fold/pick up the laundry. He really helps me out with the kids when he's home so I don't get him to do too much. It doesn't bother me either. He's the sole bread winner and works his tail off. The least I can do is keep up the house.
What is your favorite household chore? I actually really enjoy cleaning the bathroom
What is your least favorite? Scooping the cat box, I detest it
How do you and your hubby divide up chores? We really don't divide them, it usually just works out that we feel like doing different things.

What is your favorite household chore? Laundry. I also like dusting and washing windows. I really like the smell of Windex...
What is your least favorite? Dishes. When I was little, I loved doing the dishes. Now I can't stand it. But I love to cook, so I have to clean up after myself
How do you and your hubby divide up chores? He does all the "outside" chores (garbage, taking care of the yard) and cleans up the animal poo. I do most of the rest.
