When I was married, I paid 2/3 of the rent, all of the utilities, all of the car payment, and 90% of the groceries, and I did 80% of the cooking and cleaning, 90% of the event-planning, and 100% of the divorce-instigating.
When we both worked full-time, we had a cleaning lady come in once a week. Best money we ever spent.
Now that I am a SAHW, most of it falls on me and I don't mind. DH however, insists on helping on his days off. He is extremely capable and does a great job with cleaning, laundry, cooking, you name it.

You mean you didn't draft the pleadings for the both of you? I have to say, I am tickled by the idea of divorce-instigating as a household chore.

And they say human cloning would be a bad thing...
Okay Ladies - on a slightly more humorus bent, when it comes to house chores, who does them? You, your significant other/hubby or do you outsource it? Would you trust your SO/hubby to wash your clothes?
You know you are in a significant relationship when you're doing laundry.
I'll go first -All house chores other than laundry, no problem, I do half, she does the other half. I do the laundry 25% of the time, during which I get special instruction from my wife as to not "ruin" the wash. Want to get your SO mad, ruin her clothes.......
I was just thinking of starting a house chores thread and here's a thread!
We recently had an incident about house chores in my home. A fight really, resulting from a misunderstanding. Our house has been getting a bit out of control lately. We haven't been keeping up and I dropped the ball months ago. I decided to take my work home with me and attempt to employ time mgt to household chores. I created a chore chart. Sun-Sat in the top row and various chores on the left column with projected time. I email it to my husband so he can print it and the way it read to him was 4 hours of chores a day and that it was his schedule lol. Needless to say it didn't go over well.
Me: laundry, food shopping, daily upkeep (vacuuming, make beds, load/unload dishwasher, etc.), cooking (if you can even call it that ), take the garbage out.
Him: he handles all the big projects...things that require tools/power tools/heavy machinery.
We also outsource. We have a weekly cleaning service, landscapers (for basic lawn maintenance), another lawn service for seeding/fertilization/weed control, use a dry cleaner for linens and clothes, I use PeaPod for food delivery and I used to have a service take care of the dog poo.
