Re: kind of spin off- what does you DH do around the house?
My DH does a lot of the cooking & he does laundry often. Those are traits he picked up as a bachelor, thank God!!!

Re: kind of spin off- what does you DH do around the house?
now that I am a house wife  I'm doing just about everything. all the cooking, laundry, shopping, cleaning. he still does a few things here and there. but since I am home until further notice, I honestly don't mind.
DH said the other night how much he loves having me home to do that stuff. hmm....  I can get used to this

Re: kind of spin off- what does you DH do around the house?
I guess I'm lucky b/c DH does whatever I ask him to do! I think it would've been too difficult to deal if he thought that it was my responsibility to do e/t!
The things that are "his" chores though are like mowing the lawn, taking care of basically all of the outside stuff and cooking dinner. But he'll swiffer, pick up dry cleaning, go to the supermarket, clean the BR, do laundry, fold, etc if I tell him it needs to be done.

Re: kind of spin off- what does you DH do around the house?
wow! its gonna be tough for you to break that thinking that his mom gave him so young.... i would just tell him " your not married to your mommy"
My DH grew up with almost the same situation though... hes an only child and his mom never worked, so she had all the time in the world to do all the house stuff during the day.... so he doesnt' get why i complain about the house stuff becasue his mom never did 
BUT, i have to say, hes pretty good. he:
helps me cook almost every night
does his laundry
takes the trash out to the street on trash days
he'll help me make the bed if he sees me doing it
handles the lawn
handles the bills
goes grocery shopping with me
he doesnt help me clean much,. but i kinda like it that way... i'm anal and i would jsut end up redoing it anyway-LOL

Re: kind of spin off- what does you DH do around the house?
DH & I do pretty much everything 50/50...
Things he does is
Laundry,
Ironing,
Vacuuming,
Mopping the floors,
General Cleaning & organizing,
Dishes,
Emptying dishwasher,
It was funny...today is usually his day off, but he's having to go in half day today. I told him it's ok to leave the laundry...I can do it tomorrow and he telling..."no it's ok...I can do some when I get home".

Jake's idea of cleaning up is moving the mess from one room to another
I actually have to clean for the cleaning lady to come b/c I don't want her to see what my house really looks like
I am so scared she is going to leave me-the cleaning lady- not DH
ok- this really isn't funny- I already have a cleaning lady every week and we live in a 1 bedroom apartment
we are going to need a live in when we buy a house
I have to find away to fix this- but it's pretty hopeless b/c HIS MOTHER TOLD HIM BOYS DON"T CLEAN- MOMMIES CLEAN at age 5
I have a better chance at winning the lotto then getting Jake to clean the house
Beth, I'm with ya. My MIL didn't ask DH to do one thing ever. So he went away to college unprepared to take care of himself. He knew nothing and when I met him I wouldn't use his bathroom in his house because it was disgusting. I used his roommates.
He will do stuff if I ask him. If he is out of underwear he will tell me. Most of the time I throw a laundry in, but every now and then I get in his face about stuff.
His idea of cleaning up the kitchen after dinner is throwing everything in the sink and having it sit there for days until he gets to it. (He never gets to it)
When we straighten up for our cleaning lady I have to do it most of the time. I had to work Wednesday night and he was home whining about having to straighten up. I came home at 11pm and cleaned up everything.
I love my cleaning lady-she does everything but she can't do a great job if the house is not tidy. She'll spend most of her time straightening and not cleaning. I can straighten-I want her to clean.
Unless I ask DH to do something it is rare that it gets done. Most of the time I have to ask several times and he gets annoyed. I tell him too bad and sometimes stuff just doesn't get done.
He leaves later than me and gets home earlier so he can run the arrands and he usually does. He gets the drycleaning, will buy kitty litter..etc..he works 2 minutes from both these places.
Usually. I have to make the bank runs. He will let cash and checks sit for weeks. I guess he's independently wealthy.
So that's my vent..we are sisters in arms.

Re: kind of spin off- what does you DH do around the house?
Sometimes when I read these sort of threads I'm amazed at how little some DHs do. My DH is the best! 
I'm truly lucky because Ray is literally the cleanest guy I've ever met. His does the dusting, vacuuming, the laundry, and takes out the garbage. He also takes it upon himself to organize the heck out of everything too. He walks the dog twice a day and we do the grocery shopping together. He's just awesome cause he does it cause he wants to. I can't imagine trying to get someone to do something they don't want to do.

Re: kind of spin off- what does you DH do around the house?
I'd say we're 50/50. He does yard work but we both take out the garbage, do the dishes, laundry, he takes in and picks up the dry cleaning. I cook - b/c I like to and I get home earlier than him.
It works.

Re: kind of spin off- what does you DH do around the house?
What DOESN'T he do is more like it. And the answer to that would be cooking. He does everything else.
He cleans, he takes care of the baby during the day, he does laundry, takes out the garbage, changes the cat litter, makes the bed, changes the sheets. He's kind of like a maid, actually
But it's his OCDs that make him do all this because I tell him to leave it for me to do, but he can't "relax" till it's all done.

Re: kind of spin off- what does you DH do around the house?
He'll vaccuum occassionally and every so often loads the dishwasher. He usually takes care of the garbage too and he does his laundry.
I do most of the household work though: clean kitchen, bathroom, dust, cook, fold and put away laundry, etc.
Before we got married we had agreed that I'd do the bathroom and he'd clean the kitchen and we'd split everything else - hah! That never happened.

Re: kind of spin off- what does you DH do around the house?
DH doesn't do anything on his own but when I ask him to do something, he always will. It might take a little longer than I'd like but he'll get to it eventually.

mine is a lot like this, too... he doesn't "see" what has to be done, but he'll do things if i point them out to him...

Re: kind of spin off- what does you DH do around the house?
He does outside work, and fixes things, and thats the way I like it. I like to clean the house, cook, and have everything the way I like it.
He works long hours, doing manual labor, so I do not expect him to do anything. He makes the money.

Re: kind of spin off- what does you DH do around the house?
pretty much nothing.
NOw, that's fine as I am home, but when I am working full time it sucks!
We used to have a cleaning lady come in 2x a month( when I was working - just to help me out- in between)
Once in a while he will help with the laundry

Re: kind of spin off- what does you DH do around the house?
I printed this last night and had DH read it. I don't know if that was good or bad because some said their DH does nothing, while others said he does a lot.
Well, he has off today, so either way - I better see progress when I get home!

I think Ray is the best husband ever! He cooks, cleans, does laundry, etc all the time!
His job has more flexable hours than mine, so he is usually home alot earlier than me, so he takes it uponhimslef to cook dinner and clean the house while I am at work.
I love him 
Ditto!
My DH is awesome!!!! I consider myself very lucky!!!

Re: kind of spin off- what does you DH do around the house?
Dh's problem isn't that he is WILLING to do anything - he will do anything I ask, but he would never take it upon himself to clean. He does make the bed in the morning now because of 2 years of "nagging" him about it.
Isn't that funny? When we have to ask more than once it is considered nagging!!! If you don't want me to "nag", then do it the first time I asked!!!!
Also, his version of clean and my version of clean are completely different.
I'm sorry, but tidey DOES NOT EQUAL clean. And sometimes he just doesn't get it.
