I stay at home and DH is a paramedic, so our schedule is odd, His shifts are between 12 and 16 hours, he has on call shifts, and rotating days off. Sometimes he's here for days, sometimes we don't see him for days.
DH does most of the grocery shopping, if he's off, he usually cooks. He does most of the yard stuff, although I'll help if I'm told exactly what to do. He cleans ceiling fans, the fish tanks, swaps out filters and takes care of the cars.
My kids have chores and they have to keep their rooms and bathroom clean. They do trash,recycling, sweep the porch, poop patrol the yard and have dish duty in the summer. My oldest does her own laundry, I do everyone else's.
I pay the bills, do most of the non-grocery variety shopping, I meal plan. I do most of the actual cleaning, organizing, decluttering. I'm not exactly a neat freak but I have to have a certain level of clean and tidy or I can't function. Everyone is expected to pick up after themselves.
My DH does all the parenting I do.
