We generally take turns. If its something a bit more fancier than spag bol then DP will cook as hes the masterchef in this house.
I do feel you on the washing up, i do dishes here he refuses but then whenever he used to do them i would have missing glasses and plates so probably a good thing i do them! But it is frustrating when im sick and i cant do them and they stack up...
But I grew up with both mum and dad cooking tea so it was a shock for me to realise that men don't always cook!
DH cooked for me once when we were first going out. He was living at home still so I think his mum did it. Other times he cooked I've had to throw the food and the pot out! So he's been barred
There's 4 adults in this house, but I'm the one who cooks all the time. The dishes are generally done by me - I'll wash them while dinner's cooking. If there's been a lot of dishes Mum or Dad might do a load as well, or sometimes they get to them before I do dinner. Professor point blank refuses to do dishes, he hates them. Mum hates cooking, but will do it if I'm not going to be home. Professor's idea of cooking is buying. Sometimes it drives me a bit nuts actually, days like today where I'm knackered and have had a huge headache all day and was too busy with the nephews to take anything out for dinner. I've declared it a 'fend for yourself' dinner tonight
ETA - Snap, Snacks! Professor can cook some great meals, but the effort expended to actually get him to cook is probably more than just cooking myself
Both. DH is an awesome cook and loves nothing more than a big cook up - the more people here for dinner, the happier he is. Lately he's been doing all of the cooking. When I'm not pg, I pretty much do all the weekly cooking and he'll cook on the weekends.
Cleaning up, well it's generally both of us. I wash, he dries. But again lately, he's been doing that too. He's a bit in love with using our dishwasher lol.
I do all the cooking during the week as DH is home too late (he often does the dishes though). Weekends we will often be in the kitchen together, one preparing while the other cooks or one cleaning up. DH likes to cook us a hot brekky on sunday (no complaints from me!).
I do 99% of the cooking but I don't mind as I love it, I generally clean up so DH can spend time with the girls, but he's generally mre than happy to help me
I do 95% of the cooking. DH is generally away Monday to Friday but he often makes a weekend breakfast (or takes me out to brekky) and sometimes he makes red beans and rice because I can't make it to his liking
I don't really mind. I like cooking most of the time (although it can feel like a chore on occasion).
I do the cooking - there's not much DH cooks which I'd be willing to eat.
I have taught him some basics, such as spag bol and a chicken dish. Oh, and he can do taco's. He failed Stirfry 101 years ago. I work on Sunday's and would like DH to cook a meal on that night. It's usually spag or taco's!! I don't care, it's the effort that counts.
I love to cook, so generally happy to do it. DH does heaps of other things around the house and I certainly don't feel like I do all the housework whilst he lazes around! We share cleaning the kitchen, one of us or both of us - it just works itself out each night.
Otherwise we take turns. I love cooking and find it relaxing, but hate cleaning up. DH is a neat freak and always does the kitchen regardless of who made dinner.
Me, me and me. In his defence DH isn't here the majority of the time (but he lives on frozen meals I've cooked lol), and he's the worlds worst cook. He does clean up when he's here though so that redeems him
I cook every night lately as dh is pulling long hours. But when he's home earlier of an evening he will cook more. He's always been very good in the kitchen and I admit he's a better cook than me!!!
