Without discussing it, we slipped into certain ''job'' routines, but it can mix up every now and then.
As the Missus is a somewhat traditional -and quite short and ''petite'' - Asian, our 'roles' are somewhat traditional as well.
I do the 'heavy stuff', repairs/maintenance, the dogs (she says, these naughty rascals are MY dogs :D ), trash, veggie-and-herbs garden; and anything that's placed higher than 1.65 meters.
Kitchen: making bread, pizza, European food, processing the garden products (most of them are legal) / I used to cook more, but we now host my step-daughter for a while and she volunteers for that.
Most of the cleaning is done by the Missus (she says, I don't do it right :D ); and cleaning her motor scooter isn't my business either (from my view, vehicles are for driving - not for shining)
She also does much of the shopping... ALONE - I find women's shopping 'technique' somewhat inefficient; she prefers to NOT discuss why she's unnecessarily wasting her time; she won't waste mine :D
I sometimes clean the frying pans, windows and the water faucets when they get too wild for my taste - for some reason, (most) Asians see cleanliness in this field as being negligible :D
Overall, it's kind of 50/50.

My mother.
I have a theory I sorta live by that's if I don't think it needs to be done but you do then you go ahead and do it, I ain't. So practically stuff like putting my own clothes into washing machine of course I need to do that so will.
But if you think the living room which I don't even really use needs hovering that sounds like to me you do it then.
The you in this case been my mother but ya know it can apply to anyone.

Then it's also to my benefit tbf because I find stuff not so much a concern. Like one may think I need to hover every week. Me I would be like nope. Therefore that person who thinks they need to do that every week therefore should. Meanwhile I think hovering can just be left to whenever I think is the correct time.

So often it works out the more cleaner the person is they do more chores because there more bothered by it. But it's a very simple theory of full proof logic.

I live by myself, so I do the chores.

When I lived with my parents, My mom did most of the indoor stuff and my dad did most of the outdoor stuff, he also checked the cars and our bikes to make sure they had air in the tires and whatnot.
On big projects, like repainting the house (or was it oil? it was a log house), it was shared.
My brother emptied the dishwasher and mowed the lawn, while I set the table, peeled potatoes when needed, and sometimes did the laundry or folded it when needed, and when my brother moved out, I often emptied the dishwasher as well.

I'm home most of the time, so I handle it. Not a big deal at all. As long as the lights stay on, I want a clean, well-lit house.

The biggest challenge is following behind the tornado moonlighting as a toddler to clean up after her. She just discovered crayons. And walls. ｙａｙ。

I assume you're aware of the 'Zero Carbon' initiative that's being promoted by the federal government? Well, I have a similar goal, in terms of how much housework I want the woman who owns me to do -- my system of determining who does what chores is entitled, 'Net Zero Household Chores For Women' 8><3 I don't want her to even lift a finger to do anything; all she has to do is give me my next assignment and I'll hurry to obey her every command at the snap of her fingers:)

Ocd runs in the family and everyone had to help clean the dorm everyday. So I tend to do a lot of chores. I can get a weird hair up my blood and go really crazy about cleaning a single room. I couple times a year I tear apart a room. Going as far as emptying all the kitchen cabinets, cleaning them top to bottom and washing every dish in it.

SecretsofKB · Answer

Me! I actually don't mind cleaning or laundry. It is a good, mindless task that I can do after work. Feels good when I'm done. I can actually relax then too.

Plus, my partner does the cooking because she's really good at it and loves it... and I suck at it and hate it. So she cooks, I clean. Works for us!

FinalFantasyBro · Answer

I do my own laundry and do the towels.

I cleaned up the bathroom!

I usually vacuum, and I have to take the trash out or throw away dirty baby diapers

My mother also assigned me to clean up the playroom whenever my little sister dirty the place up.

I also clean up my own room but everyone has their own chores they have to accomplish.
