How do you and spouse divide chores?

[Anonymous]

DH wipes down the kitchen every night
I run the dishwasher

DH cleans the bathroom once a week
I do the vacuuming and wiping of floors and surfaces in the apt

DH does laundry
I fold and put away clothes

How about you?

If one of us is cleaning the other one will too -- this really cuts down on resentment. We do whatever needs doing, not really a sharp division of labor, though I handle more laundry and he handles more trash.

DH usually empties the dishwasher, takes out the garbage and the recyclables, does his own laundry and generally straightens up the messes I make. I shop and cook dinner but we are both on our own for breakfast and lunch. We have a bi-weekly cleaning service and weekly landscape service. I pay all the bills and he manages our investments. There are plenty of other chores that take place and somehow one of us takes care of it without open warfare. We are empty nesters which makes things much easier.

When we notice something needs doing, we do it. We don’t need a chore chart and a mathematical equation to figure this out.

dh - trash, kitchen, vacuuming
me - bathroom, wiping/dusting surfaces, straightening up, and bills
both - laundry, grocery store, cooking, walking dog

DH never does a "deep clean" though, and I do, usually when he's on work travel

I do 95% of the day-to-day and we have a maid service 2x/month.

Ha.

Me - everything inside the house. The house is in decent shape.
Him - everything outside the house. The yard is a mess.
