    I wash hers almost every time I wash mine. She does do most of the house cleaning. It's give and take, that's how it should be.

    For starters her schedule blows (1:15-9:45pm) Plus she's on call every 4th weekend. So shes limited on time. I would probably do whatever she wanted me to though

    I have yet to wash my wife's minivan... I'd rather shell out the $20 to take it to the local car wash than waste my time...
