Default Ladies....do you prefer to mow the yard, or does your husband?

I was talking to my sister tonight. She mows their yard. She said its because her husband leaves strips, and doesn`t mow it correctly, or to her liking. I understand that, because my Mom is picky about her yard as well, and there are times, I stand back after my husband is done, and think...hhmmmm...you missed a spot, but.....not enough for me to mow it.
I feel that I do the shopping, cooking, cleaning, the work that goes on inside the house, besides I take care of my flower beds, and pull weeds around the house. Let him do something....
How about around your house?

I mow the lawn, it looks better and clean-up is better when done by me. I make husband trim and edge though, but that only gets done every 3 or 4 weeks.
