@azul_Oscuro - I agree. I think the distribution is quite equal, although there are certain things that one or the other of us usually does.

My husband ends up doing heavy lifting things. We have horrible tap water here so we use jugs of purified water that are 20 liters, for both cooking and the pets. They are really hard for me to move and, putting them on the stand is impossible, so he deals with that, similarly for the gas cylinders for the heater upstairs. We switched out the heaters, so the larger one is up here and the full cylinders weigh around 22 kilos. I have no problem with the smaller ones, but the big ones are hard for me to carry upstairs even though my upper arm strength is decent. I can handle moving the 15 kg sacks of cat litter and pet food okay. I deal with the cat boxes in exchange for him doing the heavy lifting, because they really gross him out.


Last Sunday, there were minor repairs and cleaning we needed to get done in the master bedroom/bath and living room downstairs. He started at one side of the house, I started at the other, and we worked until we got everything done. When we do yard work, we are usually out there handling various tasks too.
