| So that I never have to take out the trash again? (Barring extreme circumstances) |

| You wash all of his clothes, skid marks and all. |

| Let's see, I clean bathrooms in exchange for my husband doing all garbage and cat litter duty. |

| Is it that difficult to tie a bag, lift it and then put it in a garbage can? |

| What does he think is a reasonable exchange? |

| I always take it out. |

For me or for him? I seem to manage just fine though its the one chore I hate doing. I already do the laundry and the dishwasher. That's not to say he doesn't help out, but his efforts are more of the home renovation variety. (We bought a fixer-upper.) |

| Our marriage is pretty 50/50 and we don't tend to follow gender-housework related stereotypes but he almost never does dishes and I almost never take the garbage/recycling out. Works for us. |

| Ask him what chores he hates most, and then pick the one you don't mind doing. |

| I deal w all the laundry--from dry cleaning to folding--and he always does the kitchen and litter box. We have an ok split, 60/40 where he does more thank god haha |
