[quote=Anonymous]I SAH. All my kids are now in school. I do all shopping, cooking, cleaning and the laundry for DH and I. Kids do their own laundry (I help the younger ones) too -  and they all have cleaning chores - they clean up the kitchen after dinner and sometimes help cook and they take out garbage and clean bathrooms and cut the lawn. I do all appointment and party type planning.

We have pretty traditional gender roles. DH does all the repairs and work around the house and deals with the cars and the lawn mower / snowblower and any other appliance or repair or house related task. This summer he spent all his free time building a deck and rebuilding the front porch. He deals with everything tech related and most of the finances. He deals with animals and anything heavy or awkward.

We share chauffeuring the kids to and from sports and extracurriculars. He coaches two of their teams and is out with a kid 4 evenings a week as well as Saturdays.

It works for us. I get a lot done during the day so that in the evening it isn't as hectic. Our Saturdays tend to be jam packed but we try and keep Sunday as a more relaxed day.[/quote]
