It is traditionally believed that it is a woman's responsibility to take care of the home which includes cleaning, child care, shop for food items in the home, cooking, taking care of relatives, washing and so on while the man is expected to provide and terms of finances to take care of the home.
No doubt, the traditional method of taking care of the home is still actively being used by most couples who find it convenient for them. Sometimes what we describe as traditional, is what a woman would naturally want to do in a home however i believe that sharing of responsibilities in the home is not ideal but rather it should be a thing done out of love and care for each other.
However, in a balance and modern setting the responsibilities are shared based on the ability of either the woman or the husband in carrying out different task. Gender selection is void in this case the sense that, cooking or cleaning is not to be a woman's Duty but rather the duty of the person who is available to carry that task out. In our modern world, we see men who single handedly takes care matters concerning the children such as taken them to school, bathing them, doing their homeworks for them so on.
I remember one time i was at work and because of the tension we had because we're expecting some superiors the next day, i had to stay late in the office to sort some files out in the course of doing this, i realized that I would not be able to make it home on time to prepare dinner but considering the fact that I had a partner that is kind and patient i had to text him on time to notify him of the situation on ground. It was not an issue at all as he got home and made dinner conveniently for both of us
In all, I believe that sharing of responsibility is can be tasking and demanding, so instead of sharing responsibilities we should just be fair in all that we do and consider one another.

Household responsibilities and care: in many homes, partner/spouse statistics reveal the woman continues with cleaning, childcare, assisting aged relatives, shopping for the home, with partner/spouse happy sharing finances. All except last-mentioned category run "50%-and-above," where women tend to remain home makers. How are things structured in your home?
