She’s not a morning person, so I cook breakfast and do all the baking.

She used to be a professional chef, so she cooks dinner most nights.

The kids each have one or two dishes they can prepare for lunch to feed each other.

The cats are useless layabouts and don’t even bring us hunting trophies anymore.

I cook, I don’t mind it. Wife doesn’t like to. She does other things I prefer not to. A balance if you will.

Mostly I do the cooking because I love it, I am very fast doing it, I am very good at it and I like us to have healthy food in the house. He does some specific dishes that I don’t feel like doing. I made the rule of whoever does the cooking, also cleans up. It is strange at first glance, but I clean while I cook, so I don’t have to clean a bunch of stuff at the end. And he is a messy cook. So I don’t get in the kitchen while he cooks, otherwise I would get mad with the lack of efficiency.

And he loves my food much more than I do. It is a pleasure to see him enjoy what I cook.

I do the cooking. It’s not like my wife is incapable, she’s just the breadwinner and it’s more fair for me to do most of the house stuff.

Whoever is hungry

I cook about 1/3 of the time my wife about a 1/3 of the time and both of us together about 1/3 of the time. We are both very good cooks but have different strengths.

I’m better when I plan ahead equilibrium brines, sousvide, smoking, Indian currie etc. She can look at what’s in the fridge and whip up something good at short notice.

Together is usually each of us working on a different dish or me doing Mise en place for her.

The one that gets home first.

It is just my wife and I. We will alternate the cooking, every other day. Who ever doesn’t cook, does the clean up.

I’m (m) gluten free and my wife is vegetarian so we often just cook for ourselves. When both of us eat one thing, I cook probably 70% of the time. I’m the better cook.

Although we do have specific roles. I make all of the popcorn she makes all of the smoothies.

My wife and I take turns cooking. We typically plan everything out at the start of the week so can shift to one of us doing multiple nights in a row if need be. We started having whoever doesn’t cook doing the cleaning, but my wife refuses to do basic cleanup as she goes so now whoever cooks also cleans up.

My wife mostly because she doesn’t work full time and she’s an incredible cook. When she doesn’t want to then I usually grill up something.

I cook for myself usually. Husband is a picky eater and is willing to fend for himself (he generally does meal prep with the handful of things he likes for the week and heats stuff up.) If I am cooking something he does like I’ll cook for us both.

Just me and my wife, I usually cook because I am by far the better cook. I cooked a lot growing up and did it professionally for years, she barely ever cooked at home until she moved in with me. I love her, but she has no sense of culinary coherence, she just kinda throws things that she likes into the pan without any consideration of how the flavors work together.

I’m fine with doing the cooking because I can just slip into the groove, and she doesn’t mind it either.

I cook, my husband cleans up after. Because I am a good cook but not so good at cleaning. I do clean as I go, don’t explode the kitchen or anything but there is always more and he does that.

If the kids (teen and 20 are the ones still at home) don’t want what I make, they make their own food. All the kids cook better than my husband does - I remember when we were dating, his teenager asked if I could make mashed potatoes from potatoes for his birthday. But he got an Italian girlfriend and learned to cook too.

If I work late, I ask my husband to get us takeout and he does. On the odd occasion he cooks, I or the kids clean up.

Over winter when I’m home from work early and not doing 60 hours/week its split about 50/50. over summer I’ll maybe cook once or twice a week.

When will the kids start to pull their weight in the kitchen?
