Equally
2007-10-14 16:16:02 · answer #1 · answered by janicajayne 7 · 1⤊ 0⤋
I have been married 11 years. The responsibilities are shared pretty equally. I work out the budget, we discuss it and make changes based on how that conversation goes. Both of us do dishes. Both of us do laundry. Both of us play taxi. Both of us go to the school when there are issues. Both of us work. I usually do the meal planning, but either one us may go grocery shopping. I end up with more on some levels, but sometimes he does too, so it evens out in the end.
We re-negotiate when one of us starts feeling overwhelmed and even things back up. Sometimes he slacks. Sometimes I slack. In the end, it all gets done. In the end, the priority is our happiness and friendship.
It wasn't always this way. It took us awhile to figure out how to negotiate, compromise and problem-solve. It took us awhile to grow up. It took us awhile to learn what making your spouse/family your top priority really meant. We learned. We are happier with how things are these days.
Don't worry about how does more or who does less or who is at blame or who is the victim. Take the problem as it is and sit down to solve it for the fairness and happiness of all.

My Husband works full time and brings home the paycheck. I stay at home and deal with the house, laundry cooking etc. He isn't handy at repairs or things like that so I do that too.
But I don't mind. I can sit here all day long on the computer and still get alot done. Also I get
over $600 a month just to do as I please with.
Good Deal Huh?

We share equally. Give or take a few small things here and there. Female.

Female. I'd say it's a joint effort. He works and makes the money and takes care of our yard, but I make sure bills get paid, house cleaned, laundry done, everyone fed a good home cooked meal, etc. Sometimes it seems like I do A LOT, but without him making the money we wouldn't have those things to begin with.

As far as household duties (cooking, grocery shopping, cleaning, laundry, etc), I do 99.99%.
But, as far as earning money for the household, he does 100%
(I am a stay at home mom).
So I guess it's almost equal....we both bring different things to the table. One of us couldn't do all that we do without the other person's help....
