The most important part is taking the time to consider what works best for you and your family as opposed to defaulting to the woman does the household chores. I know that was my old habit, but I'm so glad I have a husband that's smart enough to make me stop and think about it. Oh that's awesome Tasha!

Ugh. Anyway, in my house my fiancee does the laundry, for both of us and his four kids (10, 8, 5, 2) from his previous marriage. I work longer hours, so he says he's just making up the slack. He also does the dishes, and I do the cooking. Other chores are just split (tho I admit he does the lion's share), with his kids pitching in too. It works great for us!

As your family grows you might want to consider hiring a housekeeper that also does the laundry. I talked to one FEMpreneur who has the housekeeper come in every Friday and when she comes home from work for the weekend her house is clean and her clothes are too! Suh-weet!

I love the trade-offs and agreements. And yup, you are so right: all that matters is if everyone feels it's fair. Thank you so much for weighing in on this topic, Summer.

I do all the laundry in the house. I also run my own business, but I do have more time at home than he does. I get a little tired of it, so I ask for his help in folding (then I get annoyed because he is a really slow and meticulous folder!). I must be really hard to please :) I live with my husband, and 3 year old daughter. I do all the laundry in the house. I also run my own business, but I do have more time at home than he does.

I'm sure when we have kids it will be split much the same way; we tend to treat most housework this way - if it needs to be done, one of just does it. The individual laundry thing is mostly out of preference for, you know, sorting the colors and the whites, than fairness; I won't let him near my stuff after he put my cashmere sweater in the dryer.
