[quote=Anonymous]Finances and bills - Pretty much 50/50. I pay/manage the bills but he handles investments and stocks. We do our taxes together.

Planning vacations -  usually I do this unless we are all tagging along on one of his work trips (which we often do) in which case he handles it.

Housework - I do all the dusting/cleaning surfaces, vacuuming, and mopping; most of the General tidying and organizing. He does all snow removal but I am usually the one to mow the lawn and I do all the gardening. We’re probably 50/50 on who takes out trash/recycling.

Cooking/clean-up - usually me but he does it sometimes on weekends

Laundry -almost always me though he does help on weekends

Education and kids extra-curriculars - I do all of this unless an extracurricular activity takes place in the evening or on a weekend which happens occasionally.

Kids medical - mostly me but we will both go to our kids’ dr’s appts together when he can manage it with his work schedule.

Home maintenance—mostly me though he does it occasionally. I’m more handy than he is :)

Hiring people - I do this but we always discuss it first.

Socialization - I do almost all of this except occasionally he’ll make plans for us to get together w one of his friends who has kids.[/quote]
