Some couples have a very defined traditional division of chores. and some don't. I'll do dishes, vacuum, do laundry, cook, etc. Mrs. helps take care of the animals and bales hay, helps with fencing and cutting firewood etc.

I like to cook, Mrs. doesn't. Neither of us like doing dishes. I do laundry as a side while I do other things. For instance put a load in the washer when I start making dinner and then into the dryer while I am doing evening chores. Mrs. obsesses over laundry, trying to get it all done at one time. ie all saturday afternoon. My theory is a load here or there saves all that time hanging around the laundry room to work in the next batch. Seems like a waste.

Heck, I even have a pistol target range next to the BBQ grill so I can target shoot while cooking dinner.

I know men who wouldn't lift a finger to help the Mrs. with kitchen work, even if it meant they would starve. My ex-FIL, would drive 20 minutes each way to town to a restaraunt, rather than make himself a handburger or sandwich. He'd sit and watch his wife slaving away over dinner or whatever and wouldn't even get out of the way so she could make his lunch.
