what kind of stuff do you do at home, like cleaning and stuff.
Beirut is a real killer and he let's me do all the chores and stuff... :help:
Do I help out at home? DO I HELP OUT AT HOME?
Glad someone finally asks.
1. iron
2. dishes
3. cleaning
4. painting
5. paper (to paper the wall? is that correct in English?)
6. repairing
7. ...
You want me to continue?
Was somebody in search for "the new man"? Well, here I am!
I must admit though, my wife does all of that too + she cooks D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S-L-Y. That's why I don't do the cookery at home, allthough I'm able to if necessary.
:bow:
Well, I do everything there is to be done in the house. Likewise my girlfriend does everything as well. Although I'm convinced I do more she doesn't think so. Ahh, domestic bliss.
Well my own room is nice and clean
The showers and kitchens get cleaned
But the main sitting room is just disgusting, not really inviting to be

Anything you get you deserve.
Chez moi... well, today, I have so far done the dishes, washed two bathrooms (sinks, toilets, bathtubs, floors), and I have still to vacuum, do at least one load of laundry, tidy the living room, and maybe, just maybe, wash the kitchen floor.
I also made four breakfasts, two lunches, put all the garbage out for the pickup, and walked the kids to the school bus.
All this, and I still have time to look good. ~:smoking:

Anything involving the Kitchen is off limits to me. But yeah... I pretty much take care of everything else.
I like sorting through my Fiancee's unmentionables. Just don't tell her I also sort through her unmentionables even if they haven't been through the washing machine yet. :idea2: :clown:
Help out, help out? I'm a slave god damn it!
And the only thing I like doing to help, cooking, well that they don't want me to help with. They say my cooking is not healthy. Pfft pie, cake, waffles, pancakes, tiramissu is healthy, I tell you!

No choice - king of my own domain, if I don't do, it doesn't get done.
Must get round to last month's washing up someday.... :laugh4:
I arrive home and sit in my comfortable chair, to have my pipe and slippers fitted promptly. My dinner is then served while I peruse the evening news.
I wish. :inquisitive:
In reality, I do all of the cooking, which I enjoy, and will be cooking the christmas dinner also. My wife washes the dishes though so it's not all bad. :eyebrows:

You live in the Selwerd appartments? ~;p
I live with 2 roommates, all household chores are divided equally. When we share diner one is responsible for the cooking, the others for washing the dishes.
When I'm visiting my parents I usually help out by dishwashing or cleaning the kitchen.

Make no mistake buddy, that emoticon is her with the whip, not you.
If you think she's going to clean the house and pick up your dirty underwear just because her chromosomes came out the wrong way, you're dreaming.

I cook, she cleans, generally. She helps with the bigger cooking projects, and I help with the bigger cleaning projects. We both do yard work - her with the power tools (mower, etc), I with the hand tools (trimming, digging).

I'm of Italian descent on my father's side, so the night before my wedding, my father passed on to me "the wife belt". I had always wondered why my mother, who is a spitfire personality-wise, devoted herself so slavishly to completing all domestic tasks. Now I know..... :whip: :whip: :whip:
All kidding aside, LIKE my father, I actually do help a LOT at home. If anything, I drive my wife nuts, because when I get stressed out or angry, out comes the vaccuum cleaner or something else (housework is a great stress reliever). I do any actually cooking, my wife does the heating up of prepared foods. Though she is quite the baker.... Whomever doesn't cook does the dishes.
I would say that in general, I do more than my wife does, especially in the summer when there's yardwork in play. But I would also be the first to admit that when it comes to Jillian, my wife is way out ahead of me, mainly because she doesn't wait for me to figure out Jillian needs a diaper change or a fresh bottle: she either does it or she (occassionally) sends me to do it.
Since all other housework can be scheduled for normal waking hours, but Jillian is 24-7, I think I'd have to give the edge to the wife. She only wakes me when she really needs help, otherwise I get to sleep through 2AM feedings (because I have to get up to go to work).

I can't say I 'help out' voluntarily, but if I'm asked to do something I'll usually do it.
I always do the cleaning, but otherwise I do very little other than dish up the cooked food onto the plates.

Yes, exactly. It's indeed her with the whip. It's going to be my doom. Can anyone remind why was it exactly we stop using slaves?

It depends if home means where I live most of the year or where I live with my parents during the holidays.
If the former, I've got none this year, but I am meant to clean up the brew room. Nobody notices. Next year will be waking up and getting people to do dining room.
For the latter, pretty much nothing.
I tend to clean up and hoover my Dad's place whenever I bring a girl over... Although sometimes I get back for the weekend and it's just so horrific I clean up anyway.
During the week there is a cleaner. Plus I'm not trusted with cooking. :(
Seeing as she's working today and I'm not, I have sterilized the kitchen. Floor (sitting down scrubbing with a sponge and spray bottle), oven (sides, back, under), shelves (most), garbage can, counter, windows, everything.
The caveat is that the kitchen's atmosphere is now more like one of the outer planets than Earth's. The air is a chemical soup of cleaners and cleansers. Somewhat Chernobylesque, but not without a hint of pine.
She's going to pass out as soon as she walks through the door.

No trees today, just more housework.
Cleaned the front hall. Good Lord...
That meant taking out all the boots, rubber mats, carpet, cat box, dog food pail, assorted junk, everything, then sitting down and scrubbing each tile with toxic goop and handfuls of paper towel. Good paper towel, not the cheap stuff.
Washed the rubber mats in the bathtub, then of course had to wash the bathtub again. Emptied the cat's box, cleaned it outside with more toxic goop and paper towel, Barf! A mountain of dog feces does not equal in disgusting horribility a single serving of the vile filth that emanates from a the back of a cat.
Still have a few critical areas to clean, but once they're done, I'm good for a solid month of guilt free laziness.
Gah! Wear gloves or just make the dog have a "nasty accident" involving a falling tree and you will never have to do that again :san_laugh:
*disclaimer: this post is a joke. Do not participate in killing your dog with a falling tree :san_grin:*

I would strongly suggest not to mention about doggy killing in front of me and Beirut. For your own good.
Me? Housework. Hmmm, what's that?
No cooking, and I barely clean up my room. When my brain rings, I'll do the stuff in my room, but one thing I never do: clean the dust.

No, no. I have no problem with dog poop. It's the cat's leftovers that are disgusting. Bleah! And I had plastic bags on my hands while I cleaned the cat box.
Picture it, sitting outside on a rock in -10, wearing snow boots and shorts and a t-shirt, plastic bags on my hands, wretching as I peel layers of filth off the bottom of the cat box.
James Bond has nothing on me.
*points and laughs :san_laugh:*
I am really glad I don't have any pets.
