How do you both decide who does what household chores?

Whoever is hoe does what needs to be done. Dh works 3 (14) hour days then is off. I work PT but sometimes more making it almost FT. DH doesn't cook. I'm OK with that. If he is home I get the meal ready and he can get it in the oven. DH  cleans bath,vacs, mops, dusts, cleans drawers, does laundry,cleans fridge and does 99% of the outside work.

I do all the house work for the most part.  My husband works long hours but when he is home he does help out.  If he sees something that needs to be done he will do it.

 I am a SAHM so I do all the housework...my husband takes the trash out and the recycling for me though, picks up his clothes from the bathroom and puts them in the hamper, rinses out the sink and shower after using, and rinses his dishes, that's all I ask of him since he works 6 days a week from 6am to 5pm...

 I am the SAHM, so I do most of it. He will jump in and help if I relly need him to though. We have no set "I do this and he does this" though.

Have you ever heard the saying...."people only do to you what you allow them to do."  Tell him what his responsibilities are.  I wouldnt take that shit from him.

Quoting jdy9440:

Why should you have to ask for help?  Give him own list of set jobs.  that's the problem with women....we allow the man to do this shit to us, so they will continue to do nothing.
