    I was just thinking about this yesterday - DH cooks on the BBQ and cleans it, but he didn't clean it last week and bought BBQ wipes home from work on Tuesday night so I cleaned it on Wednesday, thinking "hang on I've been conned into doing his job" Other than BBQ duties, the only thing that's divided by sex is bfing DS2 and that 'cause I got the boobs!

    I cook & clean most of the time, DH vacuums, mops and washes up if I ask. I don't often ask him to hang out the washing 'cause I've got my system and I actually enjoy hanging the washing out, but he'll do it if I ask.

    ETA: I do the kitty litter most of the time. I got out of it when TTC and in 2WW and when pg, but after the boys were born Dh was happy that I could do it again. Unfortunatly it did not become a habit for DH to do it - I had to remind him during those times.

    No- except when stength is required as my H is stronger than I am.

    Outside I put out the bins & mow the lawns most of the time but he digs holes, cuts wood and we both do veggie gardening.

    Inside I generally do all the washing and cooking but that's because I am home (and prefer it done my way). We share the cleaning. He does the cat litter.
