I do most of the stuff inside, except the dishes, I hate the dishes.

He does most of the stuff outside, though we share lawn mowing since it's a tractor.

I cook 5 days a week & meal plan.

He cooks once a week. (we go out or get take out the other day)

Maintenance varies. I set up & take down the pool & keep it clean. He moves the chicken pen around & cleans it out.

Repairs to the house are mostly him with me keeping the kids out from under foot but now that they are getting old enough to help we all pitch in.

We each deal with our own vehicles

I deal with all the bills.

He hangs or installs stuff.

He does as much with kids now as I do. Naturally I did more when they were babies & toddlers but still, bathtime & bedtime have always been his deal & he changed diapers & took them out for a few hours on the weekends to give me free time.

I am truly blessed to have married a man who was raised by a stay at home dad. It's just normal to him to help out with cooking & cleaning & taking care of the kids.

I work from home less than 10 hours a week on average & he works 50 hours a week on a slow week, on a busy week it can be 80 hours & involve overnight travel.

It just sort of evolved this way over time. We've been married for 17 years & the kids are 8 & 7.
