What is your job at home.

We both work and share the house work. I do all the outside jobs, plus occasionally cook during the week and weekend (love cooking). We share cleaning, my wife hate bathrooms so i do that, while she doe the rest.
If you can support each other to get things completed, you end up spending more time together.... now that worth it if you know what I mean.

If both partners are working, housework should be split equally according to an agreement made between the two. If one partner and working and the other is not, all housework should be done by the non-contributing partner.
In my home, I take care of the laundry. He does the cooking, dishes most of the time and the grocery shopping, although sometimes I accompany him to the grocery store or opt to make sandwiches or something equally quick and simple (I really cannot cook and hate it so much I'd rather just skip a meal than cook one, which I did often when living on my own). The cleaning, taking out of garbage etc. we do together. Bills are automated through our bank.
We're not married though. Apparently married women do more work around the house, but when we do get married our dividing of the household chores is NOT going to change because I just wouldn't do 'em! He'd give in before I did, so I'm in the position of power with that one hahaha.

I believe it should be equally shared. At one time I only had a small part time job, then my place of work closed and he worked a full time job also. I would clean,take out the trash, do the dishes,and his laundry all before he came home from work. I would also attempt to cook on occasions. But now i am the only one working and he does clean house. I still try and help as much as possible. It's really going to be hard when I get about 6-9 months pregnant =(.

Depends...
-If you're both working, it should be shared (however, that depends on a number of variables such as hours worked, etc. and so it should be apportioned accordingly).
- If you're NOT working - then you do your part and do the housework. Afterall, who's putting the bread on the table? It wouldn't be fair to have him bust his a*s 40-60 hours a week, AND do the housework, right? Vice verca.

Depends.
When I worked part-time the housework (inside) was my job, and my husband tended to the outside of the home (except flower beds).
Now that I work full time we divide and conquer - usually I still do the inside stuff and he does the outside stuff - but he is not adverse to doing either and neither am I.

I stay at home and do the majority of the house work..I make dinner usually and sometimes my husband does. We do not have arguments over who should do what.. Only thing I like the ashtray emptied more often then he does and since I do not smoke I refuse to touch it.. He works 12 hours a day comes home and is pretty good. He does not have the attitude of house work being for women..although his mom does and one time she seen him sweeping the floor and insisted his sister finish ...

It should be a shared job if both parties are working steadily. If not, the person who's at home the most should do the majority of the work in fairness.

I believe the woman should keep house and not the man.My job is at home.I used to work and still come home and keep my house.He works and keeps up the vehichles and the lawn and the wood .Fixes things in the house and does all the man chores.I do all the womans work.It works well with us.To me a man cleaning house doesn't sound like a very clean house to me.I know some men that clean,but i wouldn't want my man to clean our house.I believe there is women work and men work.I believe women can do a mans job,and know lots that do work like a man,but why would they want to?I'm happy enough to be a woman.I don't want to go out and work like a man.Womens work is hard enough as it is.This is just what i believe.

Sometimes it takes quite a while to get comfortable with the sorting of chores :) I know it is 15 years here and we are just comfortable with what we do. You have to give and take and sometimes help the other out. It's really not about the chores, it's about caring for eachother too.

the housework should be shared, try and work out what you both prefer doing and do it!
