How do you want to split household responsibilities with your partner?

[HawkPerception]

What chores should the man do and what chores should the woman do?

[DishLady]

1. There’s the “stay out of my way, this is my kitchen” chore — the responsibility is all in the title… I’m very ocd. However this is followed up by the


2. “Please be my sweet top shelf guy” (reaching for or putting away all the stuff that goes way up past where I can reach on tippy toe).


3. “Talk Dirty” (rotating recycle/compost duty).


4. “Bob the Builder” (all the “Mr Fix It” stuff I need my guy to do.


5. Vacuum/dusting/sorting (me), “swabbing the deck (mopping… him).


6. Make popcorn and snuggle to watch a movie (rotating duty 😉).

[HawkPerception]

Lmaoooo

[thegreenyogi]

I wouldn't want to make that distinction. I think as long as both of us pull our weight it doesn't really matter who does what honestly.

[TheRealPepperPotts]

I'm the sort of person who sees what needs to be done and takes care of it. If the trash is full, I take it out. If the oil needs to be changed, I take it down. If paperwork needs to be done, I deal with it based on date. If I am sick and I can't fix dinner, I'd hope a guy could step up and prepare a healthy meal without batting an eye. So, I'm not a fan of lines when it comes to household stuff. I feel like we're grownups; we should be able to do the basics without a fuss. It's kind of just paying attention and doing the dance of life.

I WANT to be lazy, do nothing, and have her do everything. 😎

But that's not fair, and I realize that. We share household duties. There's no fixed rule. For example... Sometimes I take out the garbage, sometimes she does. She vacuums more iften than I do, but I do vacuum. I pay some bills and she pays others.

[chrissykerdock]

you should always throw out the garbage

[AviatorTom]

@chrissykerdock I usually do. I usually take out the garbage late at night, the day before the garbage is picked up. Sometimes she sees the trash can full (or near full) before that and takes it out before I get to it.

This depends on the relationship entirely if I at one point had enough money in order to live on one paycheck and my wife stayed home. She would probably take over most the chores a real relationship is equal effort. However if we were both working I would not expect her to do everything. If she worked part time then again it would just depend. If I was the one staying home I would never want her to lift a finger inside or outside the house.

[OlderAndWiser]

She loves to cook so I let her do the cooking and keeping the kitchen clean and I do everything else. It is a fairly balanced split because cooking and keeping the kitchen clean take about an hour every day while the other chores require 4-5 hours per week.

[Jaximus-Lion]

There is no chores limited by the gender. Me and my wife we do everything in rotation. But there is few things that i do more often like cooking (i am a chef) cleaning the bathrooms and the kitchen, while the wife dose laundry more often than i do. Other wise, we both do everything together when it comes to chores and we help taking over in case one of us is having trouble with any of it.

[HawkPerception]

Damn your wife has a personal chef... she out there living the dream, eating good

[Jaximus-Lion]

She is a good baker , which i am bad at so the combo is perfect :D

[HawkPerception]

Does sound like the best of both worlds

[Shiprex]

Oddly enough I find a lot of household chores enjoyable and an opportunity to be thoughtful and attentive to things. I do it for MYSELF mainly though my wife would tend to be more OCD about the toilet I was more a laundry and dishes type of preference. Ironing when it was a thing was something I took pride in and could get razor creases in dress shirts or trousers but that's a bygone era.

Nowadays I enjoy cooking and she's not that phased about it though I am no chef. Sandwiches are a dinner option for me if I had my way.

[Blunky]

I'm very much used to taking care of my house by myself. I find it calming. She can take whatever responsibilities she wants, I'll probably be there partaking.

[denzooo9]

love thisss:))

[Crimsyjo]

I don't think there should be a hard set of rules. But if someone enjoys doing something more than the other (like cooking) it's probably likely that person will do that more and the other make up for it. Depends also if someone works more or longer than the other. Otherwise just both get it done.

[Lionman95]

I normally do the household as I live alone. I would rather say that there´s no job a man or a woman should do but rather responsibilities either could do. The reason is that I´m in parts not the "typical" man. I´m neither interested in cars nor in machines in general and I can´t repair machines but I can cook and I like cooking.

[just_a_potato]

Who ever is working the least amount of hours takes more of the chores, but we both do our part! People who love eachother should want to help relieve each other's load... in all ways 😏

[andreasderjuengere]

I base it on lifetime contribution:

Whatever I do for '''us'' to proceed and to prosper,

should be balanced on her side as well.

Mathematically: 1 hour equals 1 hour.

The bad news for her: she'll need to be a lot more busy from now on :D

[trumpetplayerforlife]

He does most of the laundry and taking trash out ans vacuuming I do all the cooking and dishes

[PsychicBoobs]

You don't split. You just do what needs to be done one at a time as iit comes in front of you. You both live there. You aren't animals. You are capable human beings.

[alice55]

I prefer traditional relationship so as long as he provide for me I would do all the house chore.

[fish5505_87]

I think we fell into our rolls based on what we learned we were good at. I do all the laundry, why? been doing my own laundry since I was 11, my Wife is horrible at it.

She cleans the bathrooms really well, we both still have not figured out who does the kitchen!

[IslaTheWitch]

first whatever we "like" to do... I can do laundry... then what we hate less 😀

and a dishwasher is a must... :D

[NewestOdium]

You do whatever is needed with no defined limitations because you're both grown adults and should be willing to share life's burdens together.

[MrShaun]

It's important to keep things both clean and organized. Think of it this way, part of respect is what I expect.

So I say to her, "Woman, get this pig sty cleaned up!" Then I duck for whatever is being hurled my way. It works.

[denzooo9]

😭😂🫶

[Ariesman81]

Man handles outdoors and vehicles and repairs. Woman handles domestic indoor duties. Egg handling is her job also.

[chocolatetwopointo]

so u want it to be like 20/80?

[Ariesman81]

@chocolatetwopointo Considering she ain't working I'd say it's pretty fucking fair don't you. And that isn't as question.

[chocolatetwopointo]

r u talking about your actual wife or ur imaginary wife?

[NicholasRedone]

@HawkPerception 50/50? Believe it or not 😈😋🫢🙃👀

[Mac-One]

we have shared most responsibilities sometimes as the situation demanded

[CrazyKittyCatLady]

I don't think chores are gendered and it depends what the person is okay with.

[SmokinAces2000]

We just do what needs to be done around the house. No one has assigned chores

[RedInnocent69]

I want them to do everything. Happy to pay for it all, though

[masterSir]

The house and girls are her "job". Yes she loves it.

[blackeagle007]

Both sides pitch

[chocolatetwopointo]

50/50

[UknowJT93]

yes that would be better
