Our division
I'm the working wife, DH is a SAHF. His job is to take care of the house.
During the week I get DD up in the morning and change her diaper, kiss her and DH goodbye and leave. He does the cooking, the shopping, the laundry, the lawn and snow plowing, dog care, takes out the trash etc. We have a cleaning service to vacuum, dust and mop.
When I come home I play with DD until dinner, we eat as a family and then I used to give DD a bath, but she likes it better when Papa gives it, so to avoid the nightly crying, he took that over and I do the dishes. I put DD to bed.
I do gardening and home maintenance like painting. I've also been known to throw up my hands and reorganize cupboards because they're driving me crazy (not sure DH is thrilled with that). I bake bread and pitch in with the laundry on the weekends.
DH is very insistant that his job is the homefront and feels like he's not pulling his weight if I do something housewifey. I would do more, but he doesn't want me to. I think he feels like since essentially I'm supporting him, he has to earn his keep (that's HIS take on it, certainly not mine).
