How often do you cook dinner? If someone else cooks, do you clean up?

    The majority of nights because I am single. I usually clean up after myself.

    My hubby cooks every night. He cleans up afterward (or the next day) as well.

    I'm extremely lucky to have a personal chef and house cleaner :)

    Married three years, cook 90% of the time when we are not cooking together and do the dishes. I wouldn't have it any other way.

    I cook quite a bit, and I do most all the grilling. I hate to clean up so I do it when i feel like loading the dish washer.

    Icook dinner or breakfast a couple times a week, and usually I will do dishes because my wife says I am anal. She is so lucky, haha.

    about 4 to 5 nights a week, my wife works later than I do so it works best that way. She makes the menu though:happy:

    I bake about once a week.
    I grill about once a week.
    I clean up the dinner plates, but the dishwasher does most of the work(contrary to what my wife says).

    I get home earlier on week days so I usually do most of the cooking, 4-5 nights a week. I also do the dishes and clean up at least 80% of the time.

    Because I travel frequently for work I cook for my wife and children every night when I'm in town except weekends. The kids clean up. When my children were younger my wife and I had a standing rule. If you didn't help cook it, you have to clean up afterwards without help. If we both cooked it, we both clean up.

    I like this rule.

    When I was in a relationship, it all depended on who got home first or was in the mood. It was probably a 50/50 split, with me maybe going longer stretches of doing the majority becuase I would get home earlier.
    Clean up, we both hated it so it came down to whoevery had the time when it needed to be done. Or we'd share in the duty.
    Single, Obviously I do everything, everyday.

    My husband cooks 2-3 nights a week. I always clean up, but only because I'm pickier than he is :tongue:

    I cook every night. I clean as I go. By the time dinner is plated, the pots, pans and utensils are already washed and in the drainer or dishwasher. Everyone clears their own dishes afterwards.

    On weekends, when we have guests over for a BBQ, my wife supports me inside with whatever I may need. Side dish. Dessert. Fixing me another Knob Creek on the rocks. Whatever.

    We work together.

    I've been married 24 years and when we were first married, I cooked 100% of the time because my wife did not know how to cook. She learned to cook from me and over the years has become an awesome cook. With different jobs and roles we switched off who cooked dinner. Now, my wife is home full-time, the kids are in college and I work 60-80 hours a week, so my wife won't let me in the kitchen except on the weekends and BBQ's (although she wants to take over the grill now too!), When I do cook, I am like RoadDog and clean as I go.

    I cook when I'm home most of the time. I do also clean up a bit as I go, but I prefer to not do any clean up afterwards.

    I cook dinner, and my wife and I both cleanup, usually.

    Being single, I'm either going to cook or go out to a restaurant. Since I'm trying to shed weight, I'm cooking more often than not. But I have outsourced the majority of the cleaning up part.

    Since my wife and I are not on the same page as far as our diets go, we usually both cook together. She'll cook the main course, and I usually cook some vegetables for myself because I am very specific about how I cook them. We have two kids, and usually bath time is right after dinner. Usually she does the bath and I do the cleanup.

    My fiancee cooks most of the time (because he's an amazing cook), but when he cooks, I clean. When I cook, he cleans.

    My wife and I like different foods, so she cooks and cleans her stuff, and I cook and clean mine. If she cooks the meal, I clean up.
