At our house (ratbastid's and mine) we have a rule that whoever cooks doesn't have to clean. I think that's fair. If we both cook, we both clean.
My extended family is still ruled by more traditional gender norms, and the women don't seem to mind much. Like me, they pretty much like cleaning. Although I do hate doing dishes - thoroughly spoiled by 10 years of having a dishwasher. I'd say at least half the time ratbastid ends up in the kitchen doing dishes and I end up on the couch having seconds (or thirds) of pumpkin pie and watching football at family get-togethers. It's kind of funny.
