Help from your other half???

lets see....Kent gets home at 6pm, we all have dinner, he then plays with Rhiannon and gives her a bath/shower, or will take her to the park to give me some time out...

He does the dishes as i cook, he hangs out and folds washing, but i do the bulk of the housework...but in saying that, he does all the work outside, gardening and lawns, painting etc, so we are pretty even i say

We dont have any kids yet but DH does help me clean up. He hates dishes though but does the vacumming!!

Hmmm well out baby isnt here yet but at the moment Im home all day cos Im not working, so I do all the cleaning etc, he does the dishes for me though, and when I get annoyed with him he will clean up a bit aswell lol.
Ive told himt hough Ill need more help from him once our baby is here.

Hmmmm.. should i even put an imput in..

At the moment, i do everything.

Hes good with cleaning up after himself (thank god) but he doesnt do dinner or anything, maybe once a fortnight..

Mine isn't too bad, I do inside, he does outside. BUT when he does do the housework I hear about it for days if you get what I mean! I don't tell him everytime I vaccum!

We take turns bathing Cooper and putting him down, but I go to him in the night as DH works the next day. He gets him up first thing though.

Dinner is also taken in turns. Always a fun surprise when he is on........last night was hotdogs

Mike should be the one answering this.

Equal.. if not more on his part.

When i am working he takes over the motherly role, does the day to day stuff, dishes, washing etc, cooks cleans, baths them, all that stuff. Then the manly stuff too like the lawns and any building/fixing that needs doing.

He doesn't mind dancing round to hi-5 or girly pop songs, (with his daughters that is lol )

He cooks far nicer traditional meals that me.. ie the meat and 3 vege thing, and i do the cooking on the nights that i'm home to have a turn, and tend to be the nights we have the more out-there stuff like big vege-laden stir-frys and indian or other types of food.

We take turns with things, so on nights where we are both home, I'll cook and he'll bath the kids or vice-versa and we just go and give a hand etc. It's like a well-oiled production line lol. Even down to bedtime routines we take turns reading stories at night, while the other cleans up after dinner, have a kid each to put in jammies, then i brush 1 kids hair while he takes the other to do teeth and then they swap.

I do tend to be the one that puts them to bed when i am here - they pretty much will only let him put them to bed when i'm not here.

And stuff like the major cleaning, like scrubbing the bathroom, washing floors, wiping kitchen cupboards is alllll mine.

I find it so hard to comprehend guys that don't help out and don't lift a finger and then get grumpy cos you're tired and just want a break. It's 2000's guys, get off your but, play an equal part and stop being a neanderthal.

My hubby does A LOT! He normally does all the pick up and drop offs and on the weekends entertains Miss M if I need to grab a snooze after an early shift.

We split the housework between us pretty evenly.

I got myself a really good one!!

My DH does a lot when he's actually home. He doesn't finish technically until 5:30.. but he's rarely home before 6 and can sometimes get home well after 8ish if he's been in the hawkes bay or somewhere for the day.

When he is around he does help a bit with the cleaning though he does have to be prompted a bit to do anything beyond clean the kitchen. I do almost all the washing. We share the cooking, I'm a vege, DH is a meat eater. If he wants meat cooked he does that himself and we will always cook together.

On the weekends though he'll do anything and everything with Daniel. He doesn't mind nappy changes. He will feel Daniel and do anything I ask or if I go out he will be happy as to look after him.

lol I forgot to add - cooking wise - i wouldnt let Matt NEAR the kitchen unless I wanted to die from food poisoning, and i'm fussy with the washing - he puts everything all in the same load - towels and clothes (hate that)

Right. Thats it- I'm trading mine in. I obviously got a dud It doesn't do what all the other ones seem to.

I blame the MIL!!!!
