Yep I'm pretty lucky to usually, though it's not in DH nature to do stuff. I have to ask him to do it and be specific, VERY specific. If I say clean the kitchen he will wash up and that's it. I have to tell him to wash the dishes, clean the bench tops, sweep/mop the floor, bringing in the clothes is taking them off the line and dumping them unfolded on the lounge....He will occaisionally do something sponatneously, though usually to meet his own needs, like washing a load of clothes cause he wants a shirt that's there, not to be helpful to me!
But he is great with DD and looks after her for me when he has days off work. I get to sleep in, he feeds her (not usually my choice of diet, but she gets fed all the same), he takes her to the shop when he goes down to give me half an hours peace, he lets me sleep in the arvo if I need it, he takes her out if I want to clean the house in peace...so he's really great in that way.
I can't complain, though I often do! I don't think I'd cope if he wasn't so helpful....
