We tend to share the tasks - when I have time. I tend to spend more time with my children or cooking than cleaning (although, vacuum cleaning is also done quickly) | | | Reed James Chile Local time: 09:33 Member (2005) Spanish to English www.proz.com/polls/2824 comments | Feb 3, 2010 |
We have a maid at home all day from Monday to Friday, so housework is not an issue. | | | Nicole Schnell United States Local time: 05:33 English to German + ... In memoriam www.proz.com/polls/2824 comments | Feb 3, 2010 |
My husband has to do most of it, usually I am too busy.
Working from home - I never liked this expression. It sounds like somebody is working at the kitchen table, making a couple of bucks on the side.
Either you are working OR you are at home. Where your office is located doesn't matter. | |

Yes.
No better ergonomic and mental break than to stand up, do a few dishes, toss a load of laundry in the washer, maybe sweep the porch. By day’s end, I’ve translated 8 hours and done maybe 30-60 minutes of home chores, keeping the house in order, my brain fresh and avoiding eyestrain and backaches.
My wife loves me for it too, so it’s a win/win deal for everyone.) | | | www.proz.com/polls/2824 comments | Feb 3, 2010 |
No way! I got in the habit of having someone come in to help 40 years ago, when I was working full-time. Living in Mexico clinched it. I haven't been able to break it the habit even though I no longer have a family. The people who have helped me out over the years have been a blessing. | | | www.proz.com/polls/2824 comments | Feb 3, 2010 |
No, we have a maid that does the cleaning, ironing, etc. | | | lillkakan Local time: 13:33 English to Swedish www.proz.com/polls/2824 comments | Feb 3, 2010 |
I live alone so I don't have much choice but to do it myself...
Not many people have maids in Sweden. | |

Yes, and I resent it! I wish I could move to a place where maids are cheap, as they are prohibitively expensive in Los Angeles...
The way I deal with house work is to do an absolute minimum necessary and not care whether my house looks like I'm competing in "Worlds worst housekeeper" context. In fact, I think I'm close to winning this context... | | | keelin feeney Ireland Local time: 12:33 Member (2007) Spanish to English + ... www.proz.com/polls/2824 comments | Feb 10, 2010 |
It definitely depends on the day. I cook lunch and my partner cooks dinner so in that way, we are equal. He generally does the ironing and surface cleaning while I find a few hours once or twice a week to do a big clean, including hoovering. So I guess that we are quite 50/50. | | | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » Poll: If you work at home, do you also do most of the housework?
