Husbands and House work

Ok how many of you have husbands that help around the house?
Mine does. Not all the time mind you but at least 2 or 3 times a week.
He does dishes,(No dishwasher here), laundry, makes the bed, and cooks.
But he doesn't do bathrooms. LOL

The title of this thread compelled me to come check it out. Husband and housework are seldom used in the same sentence here unless I'm feeling ornery and am complaining about the lack of help. LOL My hubby is only home about 34 hrs a week, so he doesn't have much time to help, and he's under the impression that since he's not here to mess, it's not his job to clean either. He does do his own laundry, but that's about the extent of it.

Now Linda, you know mine doesn't do crap around here unless he's told or asked to and then he does it just good enough to get it done. He lays things around anywhere. One of my pet peeves about him is if I would let things go.....you could find anything of his on top of the refridgerator...LOL I don't like for anything to be on top of the fridge, so whenever I have the table all set for a meal....I pile it on his plate. Then he'll put it away.

You're very lucky Gary helps you so much. Basically around her the rule is....if I don't do it, it doesn't get done. SUCKS!!!!

I'm the lucky one, believe it or not my husband does most of the daily housework. I clean out the dishwasher, he loads. We take turns with dinner, but he probably cooks more than I do. I dust, he sweeps. I do the bathrooms, he picks up after me & does the laundry. All in all I'm really very lucky. Oh & he always takes the puppy potty, which is awesome because it's like 2 degrees out. I'm gonna try to help more, but I'm just not motivated.

My hubby is a big time neat freak. I'm more laid back. So hubby ends up doing most of the chores. We take turns cooking dinner and doing the dishes. He dusts and vaccums. He does his own laundry. I do the bathrooms and change the bed sheets. We both share responsibility of taking the dogs out to potty. Hubby works many more hours than I do, so sometimes I feel guilty. But I feel like if he wants it done bad enough, then he won't mind doing it himself if I don't feel like doing it.
