DH likes gardening and I have a black thumb: DH mows the lawns, does most of the weeding and tends the vegetables.
I enjoy cooking and baking so do most of it, but when I really can't be bothered DH will or we get a take-out. When I'm very, very ill my mum comes to look after me so she cooks.
We both clean the house, as does DS. He makes the most mess so he can learn how to use a dustpan and brush!
I can wallpaper and paint, but DH likes doing that so does most of it. He also does the plumbing, fitting, central heating... he loves it. I don't really like the muddy cellar so he gets to play all he wants.
The cars are both DH's so he maintains them. I don't have a car so get out of it! (If I borrow his car to go away for a month I do look after it though.)
"My" jobs are changing the sheets on the beds (DH really struggles with this), the food shopping (which I do with DS and we enjoy) and the washing (which I am obsessive about: DH does his fishing stuff but I maintain control otherwise).
We both go out to work so we both share most jobs in the house.
