[quote=Anonymous]Pre-pandemic: 
I work full time. My DH works full time. this is about right, but split.

preparing meals- 3-5 hours/wk [b]Me[/b]
school volunteering - 2-3 hours/wk [b]Him[/b]
other volunteering - 2-3 hours/wk [b]Him[/b]
grocery shopping - 1-2 hours/wk [b]him[/b]
general cleaning the house - 3-5 hours/wk [b]Me[/b]
shuttling kids around to doctor/dentist/orthodontist or going to school play etc - 1-2 hours/wk [b]Me[/b]
general errands (new clothes, running to target, post office, etc) - 1-2 hours/wk [b]Him/Me[/b]
laundry - 2-3 hours/wk [b]Me[/b]
yard work (mowing, planting flowers, shoveling snow, etc) - 2-3 hours/wk [b]me[/b]
general paperwork, managing finances - 1-2 hours/wk [b]Him[/b]
organizing/decorating house (moving out seasonal clothing, getting rid of junk, painting, etc) - 2-4 hours/wk [b]Me[/b]
exercise - 3-5 hours/wk [b]Me, emphatically not him[/b]

But I think some of the estimates are high ... I might just mow the lawn and it's an hour, hour and a half ...?  Organizing the house doesn't take 2-4 hours a week EVERY week. more like, once in a while. And errands are often bundled with grocery shopping, or online. Takes no time. Making food might take an hour a day. Dentist/orthodontist/music lessons/sports that does take up some time!! Yipes. But less now that pandemic.
