Roles in life

In Our household as in many gay and straight households the chores are divided by skill, desire and necessity. I hate nothing more than laundry. My husband is good with it so he does it in our house. I am a bit more on the like it really clean side so I do most of the household chores such as vacuuming, dusting and cleaning kitchen and bath. When I need help he helps. He makes the bed most mornings. I tend to cook more. I don't understand the defining of the role in any relationship. I can work on a car just as easy as he does and vice verse. I would never say one of us is "butcher" than the other. I find it hysterical that people need to compare to their situation to understand something. Why can't we just accept that everyone can just do what works for them and we don't have to identify things via gender?

the deck

blew off the deck and got it all set up. tried to hang hamock with failure
went to target for a bathroom cabinet above toliet. no luck.
did find some nice lamps for the girl and boy room, nylon tree hamock straps, kitchen trash can, 15' hdmi cause the price was right
swapped out tons of light bulbs for CFL.
the motion sensor swicth in the stairwell apears to be solid state. the CFL and LED bulbs freaked out.
tomorrow i need to swap out a ton of failing and incompatible dimmer switches.
