I dont' allow hubby to touch the laundry. The rest, I wouldn't mind him helping on, but he just seems to ignore it all. He does clean up after himself though, so that is good. <BR/>great post idea Autumn.Corey~living and lovinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05719661119360487023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3115548579429413131.post-56000347235630617072008-04-06T20:05:00.000-07:002008-04-06T20:05:00.000-07:00I often wonder why it never crosses Husband's mind...I often wonder why it never crosses Husband's mind to do the laundry.

He also does the car stuff, although I have no problems washing/cleaning etc.<BR/><BR/>Interesting topic!Julie Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10756027352301963565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3115548579429413131.post-27411255366308289562008-04-04T09:25:00.000-07:002008-04-04T09:25:00.000-07:00Ha Ha - well now that I dont work I've taken it al...Ha Ha - well now that I dont work I've taken it all on except I refuse to mow the lawn (call me a girly girl). D still dumps the diaper pail and gives the girls their baths. I think that's how he bonds .... I can and pretty much do all the DIY around here. But I call the pros for plumbing and electric. You're brave girl - I wouldn't touch an electri fence with a 10 ft pole..... HA!!<BR/><BR/>Hugs - LindyTaddie Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09050981333692170576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3115548579429413131.post-77741993405698892602008-04-04T05:32:00.000-07:002008-04-04T05:32:00.000-07:00The only chores at our house that could be called ...The only chores at our house that could be called gender specific (I guess) are mowing and grilling. Those two tasks belong to my husband.

Horrible attitude I know :)<BR/><BR/> The only time I relied heavily on Baby Daddy was in the weeks following the c-section with the twins and I didn't really care how things were taken care of, just that they were getting done. <BR/><BR/>That said, he does do all of the manly stuff ie. garbage, household maintenance and every Saturday I go into work for the entire day - he has the girls and does all of the household stuff including dinner duty, bathing the girls, etc. <BR/><BR/>It's a pretty good arrangement that I'm satisfied with.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07492761626352593047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3115548579429413131.post-38181660269480074162008-04-03T19:27:00.000-07:002008-04-03T19:27:00.000-07:00My husband does the laundry but he won't do bathro...My husband does the laundry but he won't do bathrooms. LOL and that's ok. I love doing housework and I'd rather do it because I know I do a better job otherwise he'd zip through it too quick.<BR/>Hubby takes care of cleaning the car and the repairs because it's what he does for a living so that's how it works out anyways.<BR/>Every morning though, hubby will make the bed for us otherwise it wouldn't be done... we shared the gardening when we had the house because we both loved getting our hands dirty ... LOL... so I think all in all we share it all in what we like to do as individuals, not in what society thinks genders should do. We never seem to nag each other about the chores, it always works out.<BR/><BR/>I hope your MIL is improving and I will pray for continued healing.<BR/><BR/>You are a good friend.<BR/>~Michele~Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02324458825591614167noreply@blogger.com
