How good is your oh at home. Mine is pretty rubbish to be honest. He's sweet and caring but expects a gold star for washing up. He occasionally hoovers and is good with the kids though has quite a busy job but doesn't work far home. Does anyone own a domestic god?

My OH is really good around the house, before I went on Maternity Leave he was working shift which meant he worked 7am-7pm 3 days a week and 7pm-7am 3 nights per week and then had 6 days off. When he was on his 6 days off he would do all the housework as at the time I was working 42.5 hours per week and he did the majority of the cooking apart from when he was on days.

Now however I do mostly everything, although he does do the bathroom and toilet at the minute as the cleaning products get on my chest. xx

Mine is pretty crap to be honest! Everyone in my house is pretty crap so I do absolutely everything including the gardening. I get really pissed off with them but it does me no good. Every now and then I blow my top and they all poo their pants and behave for a day or two.

But my oh is good with the kids and is a lovely hard working husband.

Mine is brilliant round the house. He does loads of cleaning and hoovering, does all the clothes washing and cooks us tea every night. When I was on maternity leave he said that my job was looking after Stephen not doing housework so we share it but he does most of it whilst I do most of the childcare which suits me fine. I've definitely got a good'un! xxx

my hubby used to expect some kind of parade if he did housework and used to list what he had done off when i got home these days he just gets on with it, we are pretty equal though i think

Mine does a chore when 'nagged' but does a half arsed job and expects a gold star/sexual favour/night out with lads in return , does my head in !!

Dan is rubbih and he knows it (I tell him regularly!)

Even when he does decide to 'do' the kitchen he never does it properly, so like he'll put the stuff in the dishwasher...quite often doesnt turn it on though...and very rarely cleans the tops down and cleans the oven, in fact has he ever?! Oh and NEVER cleans the sink, sweeps the floor or mops... so yeh basically fills the dishwasher and thats it!

mike is pants ! ,,,, i literally have to blow a fuse to get him to do jobs other than washing the dishes or pushing the hoover about !

gav is really good. ion fact sometimes i think hes better than me!!! we share household chores like i do all washing, ironing, bathroom, bedrooms, mainly looking after alfie. he cleans the kitchen, does dishes, hoovers, looks after the animals, emptys bins etc.

Dom believes in the Pant Fairy! He does clean the toilet more often than me and he washes Imogen's one bottle a day, sterilises and prepares that to go to nursery. Other than that he will tidy up imogen's toys sometimes and occasionally is in the mood to Hoover - usually have to bribe him with something like "I'll deal with this pooey nappy if you push the Hoover round while I do it" but then he only does half a job and I still have to go round the edges with the tools later anyway

Mine always does the washing up and rubbish. He will clean but its normally so bad I have to do it again

Petes ok he comes home from work cooks and washes up afterwards but thats how far it goes x
I think in 2years hes hoovered once never done any of the other jobs lol x

Lol, mine is brilliant he does all of cooking when his not working, he does the gardening. We share kitchen, living room, toliet, conservatory i do the bedrooms and clothes washing.

We both do the same amount, he loves cooking so my food is not a patch on his so i let him carry on lol.

Matt is pretty good. He takes the bin out cause I refuse to do that. He also does the hoovering most of the time cause I hate that. I tend to do most of the cooking and washing cause i feel being at home all day it's sort of my job, plus i don't really trust him with those jobs We share the washing up and general tidying duties

mine is absolutely amazing...he's equal with cleaning, cooking(does most of that actual) and helps out with the kids so much!

mine is usually shit!!but lately he has been fab! daily he has been doing all the dishes, hanging out washing, taking evan to the park, cooking, cleaning the cooker he does expect a gold star upon doing half these stuff and generally doesnt notice when things need done!this morning i phoned him at 9.30 and he had already hung out all the washing, got evan all ready, took evan and the dog to the park and had started to cook tea!! i was very impressedlong may it continue

James expects a gold star for farting!!!

Seriously though, it depends what day of the week it is. Sometimes he is great and other times he is a dirty pig. Can't win! X

Id rather do mine myself and then i know its done right.....but he will load the dishwasher when asked....the 3rd time round

I am pretty sure it is well documented how much my OH does. He does all the below:

• cooking
  
• vacuuming
  
• gardening
  
• car washing
  
• DIY
  
• bathroom cleaning
  
• kitchen cleaning
  
• dusting
  
• window cleaning
  
• grocery shopping (unless I fancy going for a few bits)
  
• dog walking (unless I fancy it)
  
• finances
  
• household admin
  
• holiday planning
  

Oh and he works 50 hours a week including travel and takes Wil to dad's club on Saturday morning.

Most of the above he does because he is too tight to pay the cleaner any more and I would only agree not to have her if he did it and didn't expect me to.

To be fair though I do the washing and ironing, deal with any bodily fluids or solids whether they are human or animal (I don't do OH's ) and get up in the night with any human or animal that needs attention. Oh and I work as many hours as OH.

anyone who wants to send their useless OHs for remedial training let me know and I will either whip them into shape or kill them

WOW Gill you really do have him well trained, very impressed!

mine does NAF all!! cant even pick his feet up when hoovering!!
can honselty say and I am not joking he has never washed up since we've lived here, never changed any of the kids nappies.
When I ask him to take the bins out I have to ask him 100 times and then causes an agruement so now I just do it. leaves socks, clothes hanging around the house where ever he feels to take them off. he is a joke!

now Gill........ what week is best to send him over for his weeks training course? xx

mine does bugger all for months then for a few days does EVERYTHING and thinks he's the dogs bollocks cos he does. but i remind him he's not

Mines quite good he does the washing, cleans upstairs ,takes bins out, washes up,and does all little od jobs
Inlike to do the cleaning my way so even if he offers to do it I say no as I will just follow him and do it again lol
I do all the cooking but that's coz I love cooking diff things
