I cook a little, do the outside BBQing, Wifey loves to cook, does 99% of the inside stuff. I do dishes.
My boy cooks at his house, his wife ain’t no great shakes at cooking.

Both cook. Wife is way better at making the awesome foods that have more than 4 ingredients.
I’m the grill king, Souse Chef, and dishes engineering supervisor.

Mostly me when it comes to cooking although the wife has a few things that she makes very well. Now baking is another thing as she is terrible. Between not following recipes precisely and being easily distracted you never know what you’ll end up with.

My wife cooks for our family. She enjoys it and sees it as blessing/loving her family.
It may be an unpopular arrangement these days with a lot of folks. But that’s the South we grew up in. We don’t feel the need to change it.

I grew up with a mom that is a good cook and I wanted to learn, so I cook the most at my house. My wife has learned how to cook several mainstays, so it all works out. We eat a lot of basic meat+vegetable+starch meals. That’s how I grew up. Lots of salads too. Tonight is a big plate of chicken I just grilled, paired with salad. Out daughters eat that way too (mostly), and they are healthy and slim for it. But we’ve got to have some fried chicken or some tacos sometimes…..
Now with even more aplomb

Both of us. We're both good cooks, so it really doesn't matter. I do most of the meat cooking, she does most of the vegetable matter. RB

I love to cook, hate dishes though. We have a good arrangement at our house that way. Dad cooks and dishes get done by the eaters. Wife can and will cook at the drop of a hat if need be but let's me do it since I like it. Plus side is I get whatever I want for every meal. She cooks as well as me and on nights I can't cook will often make what I want as good or better than I do. I figure there's no way to lose in an arrangement like that.

My wife. Of course. I grill outside and will do eggs and pancakes for breakfast every full moon or so.

I'm not above doing laundry or cleaning. I do each about once a month just to prove it. I've even folded laundry on occasion. I don't expect her to mow the lawn or do much for chores either as far as that goes. Probably why when I want some lovin she doesn't tell me to do it myself. It's a pretty fair trade off as far as I'm concerned.

We are each on our own for breakfast and lunch. For dinner I make a large green salad, wife makes the main course. However, I do make the large pots of chili, chicken roma and spaghetti which we freeze in dinner portion sizes and then microwave. My wife keeps me well stocked with wonderful chocolate chip cookies

About a 50/50 here, she does it during the week, I do it on the weekends and any vacation time at the cabin. She does fix my lunch every morning before I go into work.

I do almost all of it. wife makes some sides and desserts.
Funny thing is, my kid went to Cordon Bleu, is now a chef at MGM Las Vegas and doesn't cook at home.
