discuss How Do You Balance Household Chores

[Apsara]

Household chores are both husbands and wives responsibility. Sharing household chores can prevent stress and strengthen relationships. But how do you create a fair system? Of you have kids how do you ivolve kids in age-appropriate tasks. What strategies work best for dividing chores in your households?

I don't have a family yet, but I'm certain that when the time comes, the household chores will be for everyone. Nobody is a slave that will do all the work alone, so all hands must be on deck for the home to run smoothly.

In my home, we have a balanced method for sharing house work. Every household member contributes as they all have their responsibilities. We also implement accountability so that we know who is not conforming to the rule. We do have a chart for it and we review it and changes are made sometimes to maintain equality.

Children too must take part in household duties because it teaches them how to be responsible. Our children have responsibilities that match their age which includes dishwashing and folding clothes as well as assistance in pet care. That way, everyone is involved in the household work.

You just need to divide it out for every one in the household. You just apportion bits by hits of it to each person and that's it

I'm not married yet and don't plan on having kids by myself because of my chronic health issue and the challenges of life. If I do decide to get married, I believe in sharing some household responsibilities with my husband.

I don't really have a schedule for household chores. I help out whenever I'm around. The person who is available does most of the work.

I won't ever marry a man that believes in traditional gender roles of a woman being the home keeper while he is sole financier. I would rather marry a man that sees us as a team in everything. Both in home making and financial responsibility.

When I was still in a relationship with my ex girlfriend, she handled all the home chores because she enjoyed doing it. I only help out whenever I am at home without going to work. As for the heavy work, I take care of them.

I currently live with my four children, they are 21, 19, 17 and 15 and due to their age, they all get given their own chores and I have my own.

I have a rule where if you make the mess, you should clean it and your bedrooms are your rooms and it is up to you to keep them clean. With anywhere else such as the kitchen and the living rooms, we all share household chores in those rooms so that we keep on top of the cleaning and anything else that needs to be completed.

In my house, I implement what my parents taught me when we were children. Then, we have responsibilities in the house.

Each day we make sure to do our part to clear up the mess around. I do the same with my children. We have outlined responsibility for each person and they are responsible for specific area of the house.

I work from home and my wife is preparing competitive exams so she does not go to work. We are at home all day. We haven't divided who does what but we do household chores as required. For instance, sometimes I make meal and she does the dishes, sometimes I do the dishes and she cooks and cleans.

In my house, manual work goes for the male folk(s) while ladies do the less tasking ones. For instance, sweeping the compound and cutting of grasses and washing hars materials go to the guys. Ladies on the other hand can wash plates and mop the floor and cook and wash plates. Task like ironing of clothes could be done by anyone.

I make it easy by following a three pronged formula.

1. Always plan ahead. This planning must include the grocery list, what will be cooked in each day of the week, who will cook and who will wash dishes and chores.
2. Have a fixed day for everything. For example, in our house, we do grocery on Sundays and wash all clothes on Wednesdays.
3. Divide financial responsibilities also equally.
