I have 4 more years left to retirement. I will gladly stay home and take care of things. Im retiring at 50. Im not sure if she will ever retire she is passionate about helping people.

Consuela does all of that for us.

I'd say we are about 50/50. We set aside a time every weekend to clean and do laundry, and both just do what needs to be done until the house is clean.

He cooks more than I do, but he really enjoys it. So I try to take care of the dishes on nights he cooks and vice versa.

I grocery shop more than he does, but he picks up the baby from daycare (I do drop off), so it is much easier for me to run into the store by myself and get the shopping done.

We pretty much don't have set this is my chore, this is yours. We both just help out as much as we can.

I do the bare minimum

Compared to OP at least.

I do everything outside, lawn, pool, plants, garden. Any maintenance or repair type stuff.

Cooking, she does weekday, I often do weekend big meals, grilling, boiling or else we collaborate, which is fun.

I unload dishwasher when asked which isn’t often. She does her and kids laundry, I do my own. I help do general house cleaning, sometimes 50/50 or more or less.

Our kids are young so I don’t hunt or fish that much but can whenever I want, I just don’t that much because Im usually doing stuff with wife and kids because I love them.

I’ll get my stuff out of the dryer....but it might sit in a clean laundry bin for a couple days before I put clothes away. But the scrubs I wear to work daily....never wrinkle so I can easily grab them from the bin and wear.

I do all of the outside work, house/vehicle maintenance, some of the laundry and some cooking (mostly grilling or easy stuff).

I work a lot more than my wife does though. She used to have her own business and decided that we both worked too much and didn't spend enough time home with our daughter. She's 12 now and mostly self sufficient at this point.

She works at the very minimum 65+ hours a week and will leave shite in the washer or dryer for days

My wife does that. It drives me nuts. I recently put them in a garbage bag and put them in the garage. That did not go over well.

It bothered me when it was my clothes. Now I don’t give a shite.
