I enjoy doing some work around the house. I study full time so I have limited time on weekends. So plan what I have to do ahead so that I don’t lose a track of work that needs to be done. In side of the house mostly do all by my self including shopping for groceries, cleaning, organizing, cooking and taking care at my daughter. I take my daughter shopping with me some times. She is helping me pack groceries in a bags at the register .After we get home she helps me carry then in a house .She is 3 years old ,so it takes a lot of time for me to keep things in its places. Also I share some work with my husband that need to be done in our garden. He has a large green house in our backyard with lots of different flowers and vegetables .So most of my time on weekends I spend it there. I am enjoying this more than any thing else .So that’s how we share our chores around the house in my family.

My family is usual family that's why we do usual chores inside and around our house. In my life these chores changed according to that where my family lived during the life. At first may parents and i lived in duplex. That was two bedroom duplex. There was a little land around our house. When i began to go to school my duty was to make the bed every morning. In the summer, i needed to sweep the walk way in front of our house and wash the fence. On my vacation parents usually went to work earlier than i got up. They knew that i stay at home and that's why they leave beds not arranged. I needed to arranged them and i watched at my younger sister too. Once a week i wash the floor and dust the furniture. When spring came, I went with my parents to our not very big field where we planted some vegetables. During the summer i should help them to work up our field and in the fall to gather harvest. I really didn't like to do that. When i grew up and got married, my parents moved to new house that they built. I stayed to live in our old home. Chores were added. I began to mow grass. My wife washed the windows. We panted the windows and doors too. My wife cooked dinner. Now, my pretty wife usual do almost all home chore. I appreciate it. But i like to vacuum floor sometimes.

Most of people feel discomfort when they think about coming cleanup in vacation. They worked every week and want to relax but they have to do more work at home. It makes them unhappy because they don’t have helpers for share housework and spend so many times for cleanup. I don’t have problem about care at home because my husband and my son help me. My husband and I have an understanding about housework. If I clean the bathroom he is cleaning kitchen and takes out the garbage, if I do the laundry, he puts it away, if I wash dishes, he dries. I always prepare for lunch or dinner but when I sick or tired he is cooking. My son often helps me with the laundry too. He is learning to be responsible. Each morning he makes his bed and cleans his room. He irons his own clothes for school. Sometimes after dinner he washes the dishes and takes out the garbage. I am proud of my son. I get a lot help from my husband and son. They do the grocery shopping with me, or help me with bags when I get home from the store. My husband and son also wash the car together. When we share housework then we don’t spend so much time for it. I have enough free time for rest in vacation so housework doesn’t make me feel discomfort.

We live in a house and that means that there is a lot of work. I am a stay home mom and I have the most responsibility around the house. I do everything in the kitchen. I cook and I wash the dishes. I do the laundry for the whole family. I usually clean the house but sometimes my oldest son helps me. He vacuums the carpet and sometimes washes the floor.

The chores around the house are not very likeable things in our life, but we must do them because we are not rich enough to entrust our chores other people. My family is not very large: my wife, my son, and I, but we have many different chores. We always share our home routine depending on our personal abilities. I like to do the grocery shopping. I can buy produce quickly and exactly following a shopping list. Besides the shopping list, I often buy something new or exotic because I like to surprise my family. My other responsibility is checking e-mail and the regular mail. I must pay all bills on time, and read all important letters. Before weekends, I usually wash clothes. After that, I wash my car. My son has responsibilities too. He cleans our apartment every week. Vacuuming and dust removing are almost his hobbies. He also cooks food for whole family. We like his delicious dishes. In addition, he takes care for his car. My wife doesn’t participate in the main housework because her insufficient health condition. She is our home manager. She answers phone calls, composes the shopping lists, and gives us different tasks. Each of us does his/her part of home routine fairly and successfully.

I have a family. It's not big, only five people. It consists of my son Tolik, his wife Vita, their daughter Milana, my husband Mihal and me. We get along well. Everybody has their own responsibility and we often help each other. I like to cook and bake. A lot of the time, I'm in the kitchen. Vita often helps me. She is a good cook, sometimes she experiments with new recipes. I also work in the garden. I enjoy the time I spend digging in the soil. I like to grow flowers and vegetables. My husband helps me with that. Tolik and Mihal like to work in the yard with the fruit trees. They take care of them and have good results. We eat our own fruit. Our Milana is a little baby, she is six months old. She eats, sleeps, plays, and cries only, for now. When she gets a little older, she will help around the house. We all clean the house together. My son or husband vacuum, my daughter or I dust and clean the furniture. My husband beats the dust out of the rugs. I iron the clothes. We are friendly to each other and help other. Our house is always clean.

Teamwork is important to keeping a clean house. I have family and this is my team. My husband helps with garbage, laundry, dishes, and he washes the cars. My son is 5 years old and he really likes to help around the house. Sometimes he washes the dishes, wipes a dust and vacuums room. My daughter is 3 years old and she puts away her toys and puts dirty clothes in the hamper. We go in the grocery shops together. I always cook meal for my family and help them to clean our house.

We all have chores all around the house. They usually not likable, but every time we have to do them if we wont our house to be clean and nice.

My husband is responsible for cars to get fixed. my son responsible for the garbage,balcony, vacuum the floor, wash cars and keep his room clean. My daughter is responsible for her room, restrooms, and living room. Every Saturday me and my son Ruslan helps me with laundry.For the whole family. Some of the chores i like but some not. I usually do my chores inside the house.

I and my children live an apartment. We do duties to gather. I married 22 years ago, my husband’s job was bus driver .He always makes a journey round the Iran and I was alone after that my children was born , I had a great responsibility in my life. My children grow up and I decided to entrust a lot of duty to them that they can do it, but this duty don’t that my husband’s culture. They belief that man don’t must work and this idea very hard me, but I learned to my children don’t different between men and women. I must help together in every deed .I had to go in turkey for 2 years and my kids helped me to house work, cooking and shopping. My son really made a food very good. He learned Turkish very fast and he help to us for shopping and to police office. Then we came to the U.S.A one year ago and we rent an apartment. We have a job and all pay rent .We go to shopping and clean the rooms wash the dishes, make a food all to gather but some times my son shirk ones responsibly. One week ago my daughter had a bone surgery and doctor told she can’t walk for one month and she need to carry. She can’t hard work and I must do all work in home and out of home ,but I am hope about the God and better future

Well when people have a house there are more chores to do than when people live in an apartment. We live in apartment and my wife and I are students so usually we divide some tasks. Every day we need to cook, clean, do the dishes, watch the kids or drive them to babysitter. So usually on week days my wife cooks, does the dishes and I can watch the kids or drive them to babysitter. The chores I’m responsible for are; shopping, cooking on Sundays and helping my wife. I also watch my kids when my wife has something to do. When my wife cleans the house I vacuum the carpet. I don’t like to wash the dishes but here in the U.S. that is not a problem so sometimes after we have guests I load the dishwasher machine and we are fine. I enjoy cooking, shopping. I don’t like to do laundry and wash the dishes.

I live in a big house with an American family that they rented me a room in their house,but we all like a big family together. I do all my personal stuff my self and we all help to keep the house clean like kitchen,bathroom,living room,do dishes and stuff like that. But when I was living with my own family I was always helping my mom to do everything at hom like cocking,washing the dishes,doing loundry,dusting and vacuming the house and I was really enjoing helping my parents. When I was going to school my older brother helped me to do my homework and solved all the priblems that I had. My dad was enjoing the way we were studing together. I really loved those moments that we were all together and helping eachother to do everything in house or out side. But now days that I am living alone I really missed those times that I had with my family. One of things that I never liked to do was that I didn't like to do peaper work like bank peaper work or things like that ,and always my dad or my brother took care of those things. But now I am all by myself I have to do them. I always wish that my family were have to help me do thoese things.

My family and I do share household chores. I live with my two teenager daughters and they know what work to be done at home. They clean their room once a week and their own bathroom, bathe the dogs and give them their food, pick up the dishes from the table and put it in the dishwasher, and take out the garbage every Sunday. They also wash their clothes every Saturday.

In our family every one helps with the house. My husband spends most of his time at work. Therefore my son helps me with the chores around the house. His duties include washing the dishes and taking out the trash and also to keep his room clean and tidy. He is always reliable when I ask for help. Because my husband is always busy during the week, he can only help out on the weekends. He is the one who cares for the cars. We divide the chores up accordantly. I make dinner most nights, but sometimes my husband and son do to. I don’t like deep cleaning the house because it takes a lot of my time and energy. When I was a child I helped my parents too. I did a vacuum, wiper a dust, washed a floor, washed the clothes and iron it. Everything my parents taught me I will pass to my children. And as well as my parents I thank my children for the help and I answer them with the same attentiveness when they need. And on days off we like to go bowling, go to Folsom Lake, play banbington, ride bicycles and have fun. Because all week long we did what we should to do.

Chores are clearly divided in my family. We do daily chores are cleaning house, carrying garbage, and preparing food. I know it's not a man's job, but my job is to clean the house. Actually I like to do that. I have a developed sense of aesthetics, and often make changes in the house. My wife is always pleasantly surprised by how I redecorate. I do not like to prepare food. This is why I never do. As a child my job was to lead garbage. I did not have another job. My parents told me that my hottest job is to study. And I have done so with pleasure. I always got gifts for my good results at school. I am a newcomer in the U.S. and, unfortunately I live onto a rented apartment. I hope that soon I can have a house here and I can organize a garden. For now, I spend my weekend’s great, I travel.

There is always work to do at home.Now I have to share chores with my girlfriend,we don't spend too much time at the house because she is studying full time and I work full time too and I have to go to school at nights but when I am home I like to do different things,like fixing or installing something and she is in charge of the food and keeping the house clean,eventhough sometimes I help her washing dishes or making breakfast but like I said before we don't spend too much time at home for now.When I used to live by myself I rarely cook because I don't like cooking,I prefer to cut the grass or vacuming the carpet and kitchen staff is not just into me.When I was a child I used to take out the garbage and take care of my dog,I was in charge feeding the dog and cleaning the yard.

A house cleaning keeps your home basically clean and tidy all times. Every morning I get up, put on clean clothes, eat breakfast, wash dirty dishes after breakfast. We clean our house every weekend. Everyone of us knows what he/she needs to do. Daily family life is reduced yelling and bribes to get kids help around the house. I want to make sure they help me next time. I enjoy to do everything when I begin to clean house or do different chores around the house. My parents never paid me for any chores I did. We usually clean the house, wash the dishes, go to grocery stores, work in the backyard. We like to share our chores and take a rest later for the whole family.

I live in apartments with my wife so we do not have a lot of chores. Most of the chores are done by my wife. She does almost all of the cleaning and cooking and I just try to help her some time with it. My main chore is to vacuum every week. I also sometimes straighten up and help with the dishes. If I am brave enough, I will try to cook something for her. The main chore that we do together is grocery shopping. When I use to live with my parents in Ukraine, we had a lot more chores since we lived on a farm. Usually the guys were doing all chores outside the house such as mowing the lawn, gardening, cutting, and such. The girls always did the chores inside the house. I personally think that those people that live in a home have much more chores that need to be done than those in apartments. I don’t have a lawn that I need to take care of and I do not need to worry about anything outside since the apartment maintenance takes care of it. At the end of the day I do not think about what has to be done outside. I can just relax.

My wife and I enjoy sharing chores together. I am always busy working but I try to help my wife. We share our duties together. I am used to do my personal chores. I usually work from 9 in the morning through 4 in the evening five days a week, and after that I do my homework or we go shopping. My wife likes to organize whatever we bought. My wife likes to cook the food and after eating she likes to wash the dishes. But we use the one time use dishes, so she doesn’t need to wash a lot. I like to work out side of the house. It is fun very for me; for example, I like to work on our cars or to take care of the outside of our property. Sometimes I help my wife, but she likes do things by herself. On the weekends I have Saturday classes, after my classes I go home and run errands. In conclusion we share all our chores in my house, and we are happy with doing so.

All of us are adult and we know chores those are our responsibility. We can not skip any of them or run away from them. These things are on our shoulders. And nobody can do them instead us. Chores - something that has be done that we don’t really enjoy. Very few people enjoy doing chores around the house. When I was a child my chores were few of these. Help make the bed, pick-up toys, hand clothinds on hooks, set the table, help in the kitchen, help carry and put away groceries, take care of pets, cook simple food, take out the trash.

My family and I share the chores around the house. Every member of the family has to do different chores. For my family, they clean the house every day. They don’t like the house to be unorganized. My mother and my sister do almost all the chores, if something isn't in the right place or not really clean the will do it over. They prefer to do it by their selves. I'm responsible to clean my room. I don't like to clean the dishes. I enjoy doing some cooking. When I was a child I used to fix things that were broken. My parents did not pay me for doing some chores; I have to do them not to get paid for doing them. On weekends I usually clean my car and my mom's car.

There are four people in my family. These are my wife, I, my son and my daughter. Everybody knows their shares and also we try to help each other. My wife cooks for our family and helps our children to do their homework. I take out garbage, fix and clean our cars. We clean our house together. My wife cleans kitchen and bathrooms, and I clean other rooms. Our children wipe a dust. Our children are small, but we give them easy shares to do to get them in the habit of helping out and being responsible. Our son helps to clear the table and wash dishes. Our daughter puts away her own clothes and toys. We are always friendly and help each other.

Chores is a very important part of household. In our family parents don't usually do chores. In our family children do chores. Usual chores are: Take out garbage, wash dishes, vacuum house etc. I'm responsible for washing dishes. I enjoy washing dishes, but I dislike vacuuming house. When I was a child I always dusted dust away. My parents never payed me to do chores. On weekends I cut grass in front of the house. I love doing chores outside of house.

Chores will always exist in household. Harder chores usually older people do. Easier chores are done by children. That's how it works in my family. Some of the chores that my family does everyday are washing dishes, taking out garbage cleaning kitchen and vacuuming. I'm mostly responsible for cleaning living room and vacuuming house. I do not like vacuuming, but I do enjoy dusting. When I was a child I washed dishes a lot. My parents never paid me money. On weekends I clean toilet and bath. Chores are very important.
