Pretty much this.

But it annoys the hell out of me when she cut the grass. I don’t mind that she wants to do it, but she has to do it the way I like it or just don’t do it at all.

I just bought her a new washer that has a 5.3 cu ft tub. She can pretty much wash a car in there if she wanted to.

She has to step on a stool to reach all the to the bottom


The washer we have is like that. I'm 5'5 so not terribly short and have to get on my tip toes to reach socks in the bottom. It's like they are designing them for men to do everything.

I think my wife does this on purpose just to piss me off

My wife has never started a lawnmower or weedeater in her life

Precisely why I do most of the things I do. I’m very particular and a bit of a control freak and my wife doesn’t have a care in the world. We balance each other perfectly.

If any spouse is working 60+ hours a week, then the other spouse should be doing more of the work around the house.

Unless of course you’re both putting those types of hours in. Which in that case just hire a maid, you could afford it given those types of hours worked by both. Life is too short to not have some R&R.

Every Friday I vacuum, mop and laundry. Turn up classic metal on Pandora, pop an Adipex and knock it out.

My wife makes a list every day of my chores and also provides feedback on how I did the previous day and what adjustments need to be made.

It works out well for us because we both have the same expectations for what a house should look like.

Wouldn't work if one person was lazy and the other not.

That is one chore that is always his, I forgot about that since it hasn't had to be cut in awhile. But, it is another thing he says he doesn't mind doing. That must be a guy thing because I think cutting the grass sounds like a miserable time.

My wife won’t even let the housekeeper wash the clothes. All they are allowed to do is take the sheets out of the dryer and put them on the beds

Wow. She’d better be good in bed because she sounds like a count that would hold sex over your head for that.

I love yard work. It’s definitely a guy thing.

My wife does almost all of the cooking. I do the outside cooking. Grilling, crawfish boil, etc.
I do my own laundry, she does the kids laundry, we both fold.
We split the dishes 50/50.

Everything outside is me. Yard, cleaning, etc.. Everything inside is her. I'll help her clean inside when I can.

Sadly there’s probably someone here for which this is true.

The first time mine saw a snake in the yard she'd be done for good anyway.

i do about 95% of the cooking and i do the dishes about the same (i often do those while i cook)

i don't mind cleaning or laundry but the gf has a very particular way she wants both done and has unrealistic expectations on the execution so i'm a follower in those areas


This almost exactly for me as well
