I do the most, then DH and then the kids have the same chores they just rotate who does what and when.

I do most chores, all when he is gone, and the kids help as asked. I keep wanting to start a chore chart, but I contnually find hang ups with it, things like I want to clean the kitchen but the girls chores would include putting away the silverware, so I can't completely unload and reload the dishwasher so I cna continue on my merry way. So I stick to the do when asked method.

dh does outside chores, but the boys are responsible for their person and then they have to help with maintaining the house as well. they are 6, 5, and 3 so they're still in training.

I do mostly everything. Dh does nothing but maybe take out the trash. 15 YO DS takes out trash does his laundry and puts his clothes away. 13 YO SD does the most. I gues becasuse she is a girl I ask her to do more. Really she still doesn't do that much. Every one in my house hold is lazy

I do most of the household chores. My sons clean their room and clean up the stuff they bring down from their room. My teen cleans her room and does her laundry. My hubby does the dishes, sweeps/mops and will do laundry on his nights off.

I do pretty much everything, but I honestly love cleaning the house and probably go back and do it my way if anyone tried to do it. My son cleans his room.

My 13 yr old does his own laundry, cleans his room and has at least 2 chores daily such as vacuuming, cleaning mirrors, dusting ect. My 5 yr old cleans his room and helps in the kitchen (wiping off the table, setting the table). I do all the other household chores and cooking. DH will help if asked but I rarely do, he works 60-70 hours a week. When my stepsons are here (12 and 13) they do chores too! Everyone is responsible for keeping our home running.

I do 95% of the chores, the kids keep their toys and rooms picked up, DD1 does dishes occasionally and picks up the yard. I do all animal chores.  But I dont mind I'm a SAHM for a reason.

We have different jobs.  The biggest thing is ensuring the famiyl cleans up after themselves.  Also, if they have a free minute and something's out, just put it away ;).  Between that, we rarely have "chores" that need to be done.  But we clean as a family.  We don't have specific tasks.  But if I'm cleaning the living room, for example, Caden takes damp cloths and wipes down teh tables to dust them :).  He also helps me get all of the items off teh floor when I vaccum :).
