Small poll about how you run your house
| Mon, 08-21-2006 - 3:50pm |
I have a bit of a poll. I am just wondering if anyone else's house works the same as mine.
1. Who does the grocery shopping? Do you do it as a family or alone? Do you take the kids with you?
2. Who does the cooking in your house?
3. Who does the cleaning?
4. Do you ever get out with girl-friend(s) for dinner or movie? If so, how often?
5. Do you do any activities outside of the house? (ie: part time work, gym membership)
6. How many kids do you have and how old are they?
7. How often do you do laundry?
8. How often do you clean the house?

1. Who does the grocery shopping? Do you do it as a family or alone? Do you take the kids with you? Right now we all go, but I think I will start going by myself again.
2. Who does the cooking in your house? unfortunately only me. DH has this phobia of boiling water, so while I have a newborn we are eating alot of take out, because I'm not in the mood to cook.
3. Who does the cleaning? We both do, but DH is WAY better at it than I am.
4. Do you ever get out with girl-friend(s) for dinner or movie? If so, how often? I have one girl-friend that lives in the same state as me right now, and she is currently in the middle east on deployment, so I haven't really been out. My other two best friends are out of state.
5. Do you do any activities outside of the house? (ie: part time work, gym membership) I attend my DH's squadron spouse's group and the base spouse's group. That's about it right now.

7. How often do you do laundry? every 3 or 4 days.

My dh and I shop together with all the kids. The kids like to grocery shop and so does dh. The grocery store we go to is great and they like getting penut butter from the penut butter machine and tasting the food from the chefs they employe...fee samples! lol
2. Who does the cooking in your house?
I always do the cooking unless we are having enchalada's since that is my dh's specialty...we don't have them enough in my opinion. :)
3. Who does the cleaning?
Me and all the kids, because my husband works a physically demanding job and works long hours.

I did before our youngest was born. I went every month but he is nursing....
5. Do you do any activities outside of the house? (ie: part time work, gym membership)
The kids and I go to park days with our homeschool friends every friday, field trips once a month, bowling once a month. All the Moms are my good friends so I get to socialize quite a bit.
6. How many kids do you have and how old are they?
I have three kids 9, 4 and 6 months and have my neice 18 and her baby who is 5 months.
7. How often do you do laundry?
Everyday, I hate laundry pile up...but also hate to do laundry.

Every day. We do not have that big of a house so it is not that hard. Plus I use the flylady.net system and it works great!

1. Who does the grocery shopping? Do you do it as a family or alone? Do you take the kids with you?
I usually do the grocery shopping. I go alone, when the kids are in school. When they are off for summer break, I don't have much choice but to bring them along.
2. Who does the cooking in your house? I do about 90% of it. Dh likes to help out, but doesn't often have a chance
3. Who does the cleaning? I do all of the cleaning. I don't mind....
4. Do you ever get out with girl-friend(s) for dinner or movie? If so, how often? Once a month, I go to a book club, with my friends, and that is a for sure, planned thing. I also meet with my mom and sisters, as often as we can for mom's night out (which we haven't done in a while. Hmmmmm.. thanks for the reminder!
5. Do you do any activities outside of the house? (ie: part time work, gym membership) I have a little tiny job, at the girl's school, running the playground at recess. This means I have the same schedule as them - love it
6. How many kids do you have and how old are they? I have 2 dd's, the oldest is 9 1/2 and the other is 7
7. How often do you do laundry? I usually do it once a week (on Mondays) but I'll toss in extras as needed
8. How often do you clean the house? I clean every day - just different parts/items. Dusting/vacuuming one day, cleaning bathrooms one day, sweeping/scrubbing floors another day, etc.

I usually do but dh will stop on his way home if I need him to.
I have a bit of a poll. I am just wondering if anyone else's house works the same as mine.
1. Who does the grocery shopping? Do you do it as a family or alone? Do you take the kids with you?
My dh is an over-the-road trucker, so the answer to most of these questions is me. I have to take the kids, even though my mom lives less than 2 miles down the road. (She refuses to help me at all. - Sorry. I'm still mad at her.)
2. Who does the cooking in your house?
Me.
3. Who does the cleaning?
Me.
1. Who does the grocery shopping? Do you do it as a family or alone? Do you take the kids with you?
I do all of the shopping...my dh is not allowed to as he comes home with too much crap and nothing that forms a meal! But, he does buy the best snacks!
2. Who does the cooking in your house?
I do most of the cooking unless it's frozen food or bbq. Not that either of us are gourmet.
3. Who does the cleaning?
Me again. He does the outdoor stuff and the garage, but I do almost all of the household duties.
4. Do you ever get out with girl-friend(s) for dinner or movie? If so, how often?
I am the only one of my friends with a child, so once Ben arrived they disappeared. But, dh watches Ben while I go shopping or have computer time or a bath. So, I do get some time to myself.
5. Do you do any activities outside of the house? (ie: part time work, gym membership)
Not yet. I'm definitely an overprotective new mom...afraid to go too far away for too long!
6. How many kids do you have and how old are they?
Benjamin James-6 weeks
7. How often do you do laundry?
I do laundry on Mondays and Fridays. Baby stuff in between if it's stained or stinky!
8. How often do you clean the house?
I try to do bits and pieces everyday so the task isn't too overwhelming. I attempt to do each room once a week at least; but the kitchen has to be cleaned everyday. Nothing worse than a dirty kitchen!

1. Who does the grocery shopping? Do you do it as a family or alone? Do you take the kids with you?
This varies. Most of the time I go alone unless we have other errands we need to do then we go together. conserving gas, lol. I know eventually I'll be going alone, it's easier that way.
2. Who does the cooking in your house?
Me,me and me. He's tried to cook a few times, but I'm afraid to eat it so its safer if I cook.
3. Who does the cleaning?
I handle all the cleaning. He works all day and by the time he gets home at 7 there is no way he'd have time to clean anything plus eat and spend time with me and DD. His one job inside the house is to take out the trash.
4. Do you ever get out with girl-friend(s) for dinner or movie? If so, how often?
About once a week during the day I get together with my sister and we go out to lunch and to the library. Normally my nights are reserved for DH.
5. Do you do any activities outside of the house? (ie: part time work, gym membership)
Nope.
6. How many kids do you have and how old are they?
I have one girl and she is seven years old.
7. How often do you do laundry?
Everyday. It's gotten to the point I only have to do two loads a day. One with yesterday's clothes and the other is towels and DH's gym clothes. He helps with that one.
8. How often do you clean the house?
Everyday. I keep the dishes washed and basic things done as I go through the day. I hae routines I follow, lol, Flylady.com. If I didn't keep to my routines the house would be a mess and I would be miserable.
