My DH works a big day. I'm a SAHM. So I do all the daily house stuff: laundry, shopping, cooking, etc... He will do dishes some nights if it fits into the flow, but I always assume I will be doing clean-up, unless he just starts. I'll admit I enjoy all this stuff.
He does the yard work, car-maintenence and big household maintenance (like fixing broken furniture etc..)
The main thing for the both of us is SIMPLICITY. If a thing is just taking up to much energy then we let it go. We changed a flower bed into a piece of grass last year. Which is so much less maintenance AND provided a nice soft spot for picnics. Same with clothing. If I can't throw it in the washer & dryer I don't by it. I also have dishes that go in the dishwasher and are not uber heavy, so anyone in the house can do the dishes!
