I'm another who got lucky with my DH. He grew up with his mom doing everything while his dad did nothing and he saw how hard it was on his mom, so he pitches in a lot.
He does dishes most of the time, all yardwork, makes sure the trash gets to the curb, helps with the kids' baths, gets the boy up for school in the morning and takes kids to the doctor/appointments (I don't have a car). He also hangs anything I ask him to and changes the lightbulbs. I'm not safe on ladders.
We split cooking duties, literally. If I cook the entree, he does the sides and if he cooks the entree, I do the sides. So everything's on the table at the same time and no one burned anything. We both clean the bathrooms as needed.
I do the laundry, unless he needs something specific washed and I don't have time. I do most of the vacuuming, dusting and tidying up. I pay all the bills, balance the checkbook and help with the kids' homework.
