Growing up in my family, the men typically took care of the outside (yard, landscaping, shoveling snow, cars, garage, repairs, any heavy work, etc.) and the women managed the inside. Since there was one husband and three boys, my mother taught us how to do inside chores (cleaning, cooking, wash dishes, laundry, folding and ironing clothes, etc.) and then we helped her inside. Now, I do not think about who does what; I just get busy. If someone is not pulling their weight, we negotiate. 😉
