who does this the kids, wife or husband?

We live in an apartment so there's no yard work to do & if something breaks, we call the landlord. The condo we're planning to buy covers all external maintenance too.

He used to moan about how I "never" do the dishes until I offered to trade the dishes for vacuuming, cleaning the toilet, washing the floors, cleaning the tub, the stove & countertops.

He countered with adding cat gak & litterbox duties to my list which I rejected, so the status quo remains in effect. Mouse rescues are usually a two-person job.

Laundry is a joint effort except for my hand washing. We get our groceries delivered from peapod or we go to the store together.

He also takes care of the car since he drives it, so he's the one it breaks down on.

DH does his laundry, I do mine. Who ever sees the dishes in the sink and has time to do them, does them. DH does the vacumming, I do the pool water maintenance, he does the filter maintenance. I bathe the dogs, he installs the flooring. No one mows the grass, we have gravel in 3/4 of our lot, the other 1/4 is dirt . After 30 years of being together, we just do what needs to be done. Really, the only thing that he never did was breast feed the baby!
