[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, and it is one of the reasons I married him.  We each have our assignments, designed for minimal reliance on the other person.  Consider "separating your lanes" a bit so you need less coordination.  He is responsible for the car, and for all grocery, cooking, and kitchen cleanup.  And I never, ever step in unless he asks.  So i have not chosen my own dinner in 8 years.  No regrets.[/quote]

Yes this.  But I will also say, pulling his weight is kind of ingrained in my DH.  But not about *everything*.  So he will take care of the cars without issue, the outside stuff, the trash/recycling with NO problem.  I did outsource the house linens to him too and he's done great with that.  But will he clean a bathroom?  No it would literally have to be covered in scum before this would cross his mind.

So out chores breakdown is a little sexist, but it works.  Oh and he also makes ALL the customer service calls (internet, cell phone issues, etc).

We split grocery shopping and cooking, but he does more food shopping and I do more cooking.

I'd murder him if he did any less and after writing that I realize he does a lot!  SO thanks DH, you rock.  I'll stop grumbling about the dishes you left in the sink when the empty dishwasher was RIGHT there.[/quote]
