I am personally domestically challenged, and would rather do almost anything than housework. I spent the past two days stacking firewood in the shed, and left the dishes standing on the counter. Today it's too sleety and miserable outside, so I hadda do those dishes, and would have been thrilled to be back stacking wood.

But my husband! He's a dear hardworking man on the jobsite, but has never cleaned a bathroom in his life, gags and runs if the cat throws up, and no longer does laundry because he stuffs the washer so full it won't work. I tell him his mother never beat him enough.

And for gnu - around here, I do the wall patching and sanding, the painting inside and out, the gardening and rock moving, the mowing and trimming, and most of the snow shovelling (because he's often away in winter). We built the deck together, under his direction, and he does do the plumbing.
