We share it about equally now. Before my son was out of the house, I did the majority of it. Been together 20 years, married for 13 (next week).

Wife.

I do the most fixing things, hanging things, and killing things.

Wife here. I do most of the cooking, but when it comes to a bigger weekend breakfast that is typically my husband's domain.

Me, the wife... I'm better at it and I like to eat things that are neither barbecue'd nor eggs on a bagel sometimes so with that said, I cook most nights.

I do the cooking and husband does the grilling. I works out best that way.

I cook when she's not working. She only works 2-3 days per week, so she cooks more than I do.

I do most of it becuase my wife is pretty terrible at making things that actually taste good
On the other end of it is she makes a mess of everything that just makes clean up a disaster to tackle afterwords.


I have expereince working kitchens so it's just easier for me to get in their and get it done at the end of the day.
I really don't mind cooking after a day's work since I find it a relaxing chore to do.

It's about a 60/40 split. I cook more often, but my wife is a pretty good as cook as well.

When my husband and I were both working he did most of the cooking. It worked out well for us because he likes to cook and I absolutely hate cooking. We probably did like a 80/20 split. Now that I'm staying home with our baby I do most of the cooking and I still hate it but I figure it's only fair since I'm home all day. When I go back to work though we'll probably go back to the way things were before.
