Your man cook and do dishes?

Yes, my husband can cook. Does he cook? Sometimes on weekends. I stay home with the kids and really don't have a problem doing most of the cooking. Dishes? Yes, he cleans the dishes unless I beat him to it. I like to do them because I get a break from the kids while he entertains them.

My husband does the dishes most of the time. He will grill things for me, and he chops up my vegetables for dishes because I ALWAYS cut myself (on accident of course). He also does laundry, well the easy part of it, putting it in wash then in dryer (no folding, unless it's towels). He cleans up the yard and mows it and cleans up under the carport.... I have a gem!

I do all the household stuff and always have. I am lucky if i get hubby to pick up his own crap off the floor lol, it doesn't really bother me that he doesn't help because he works a lot of hours so i get to stay home with our girls so i look at it as he is doing his half by working so much so i want to be able to make our house a nice clean place for him to come home to and i like cooking so i wouldn't care if he helped out with that.

I'm lucky enough to have a man that does both! We have an unspoken agreement that we've upheld for the last 3 years...if one of us does the cooking, the other does the dishes and cleanup. It's a great way to compromise and express your gratitude for the cook!

I hate doing the dishes because it takes so much longer than cooking dinner. Doing the dishes is like 1.5+ times the amount of work that preparing dinner is...at least in our house.

I cook and do major cleaning (you know bathroom, floors etc.) and i clean up after my cooking. I do the grocery shopping since I do the cooking, and if I sent him to the store he'd come home with chips and ice cream. He will run the dishwasher and empty it though, and we both do laundry whenever we start running out of clothes. He's also super organized and has to have stuff looking neat, so I love that that's not all on me. We try to split things pretty evenly, and if one of us isn't pulling as much weight as we could / should we just ask for some help.

I've been married 4 years, together 11 and I STILL find it hard to ask for help! But I like to be wonderwoman and do it all. I'm a stay at home mom so I do all the cleaning and laundry (he washes his work clothes though because he's around horses and I'm severely allergic) and most of the cooking. He does help with supper sometimes, but he really enjoys cooking and once in a great while he'll help with dishes... otherwise I do dishes also. When we were both working he did laundry, I did cooking, we did dishes together and cleaned on weekends. We had a very messy house too! LOL And he did laundry mostly because I was pregnant 2 times and our basement is down some narrow steep stairs. If either of us saw something to be done we just did it.

But that's okay, because he spoils me!

I too am a newlywed. My husband is an excellent cook BUT he works two full time jobs and is head coach for county football team, so I make it my business to make sure food is cooked and the house is cleaned. On the weekends, after he's rested, we will tidy up together, but more often than not, I'll shoo him out of the way so he can get some much deserved rest. Conversley, when I'm having a flare, he's right there doing everything and ....he cleans better than I do and that's saying something.

Ohh and I HATE laundry, mostly because there's no where to put all those clothes.

I used to work at my mom's muffin break way back in college. I learned to cook AND clean at the same time. Or at least cook w/ the least amount of pots/pans etc... And clean while you are waiting for something to finish cooking. Wife doesn't do that. But if she cooks, I'll clean. Only fair.

I do 99% of the dishes & laundry, and probably 25% of the cooking.

whoever cooks in our house doesn't have to clean up - we laugh at each other at the end of dinner and one of us says "I cooked!" and that's the other's cue to clean up. makes it nice!

A;so, I do all the laundry because my wife is allergic to scents from the laundromat.

I'm a SAHM. I have a 2 1/2 year old boy AND I babysit (in my home) another 2 year old boy. My boyfriend (of over 5 years, we live together) goes to school full-time (he is in his last year of getting his Doctorate of Pharmacy). I do it all. Occasionally, if I am tired, I will ask him to unload clean dishes from the dishwasher OR I'll ask him to put the dirty ones into the dishwasher... sometimes he'll put away clean & folded clothes. He does clean up after himself, but I do the actual housework. When I start nursing school once he is finished with school it'll be more 50/50 (because we will both be "working" outside the home).

He is a very hands-on daddy though (diapers, potty training, feeding time, play time, everything).

My hubby is military and I am a SAHM, I do most of the housework; cleaning, laundry, and cooking, etc...but he does help a ton! 3 times a week I have zumba, 2 times at night and he bathes the kids and cleans up after dinner. I am a clean freak though so I tend to do most of the housework. He takes care of most of the yard work but I help out there as much as I can On the weekends he tends to grill or something and I clean up; most everything is 50/50 I love grocery shopping by myself cause I love using coupons and that is time consuming so I leave the kiddos with him while I do that. That's the best part about marriage!

The best thing is that you can ask for help, never demand, just ask...but you determine the way your house runs I am very blessed to have a husband that helps out as much as he does BUT I made myself tell him my expectations from the very beginning I set the tone, I help him as much as I can and vise versa

My husband does help! Only problem is that I hate his cooking and he can't load a dishwasher worth a crap! I smile, say thank you honey, then rearrange everything!
