Sharing household responsibilities can make it easier to tackle them, be it cleaning, taking care of the little ones, cooking, or anything else, for that matter.

Sharing household duties equally has certain benefits, but that’s not the norm in most households
Sharing household responsibilities can make things so much easier for everyone involved, especially if one person is better at certain tasks than the other. Take the OP’s arrangement, for instance; upon having learnt early in the relationship that his partner doesn’t cook, he took over the cooking duties. His wife, in the meantime, now typically takes care of other things, such as putting the toddler to bed or doing the laundry, as the redditor pointed out himself.
Some gendered assumptions or expectations might not be created out of thin air, as statistics reveal that household chores are seemingly not shared equally among men and women. According to Pew Research Center’s2019 survey, nearly 60% of women believe they take care of the larger part, while only 6% say that their partner does. Roughly 34% of their male counterparts agree that females tend to do more housework, but 20% think men do; nearly half (46%) say the responsibilities are shared equally (vs. 34% of women who feel the same).
