Do most of the women gun owners in your family clean their own guns?

One of us breaks them down, cleans them, and re-assembles ... the other function checks and puts them away after a final wipe-down.
I probably do the cleaning portion more often, but not by much. It is odd to come home to a pile of guns needing a function check and storage.
And yes, I trust MrsBFD to properly clean my CC pistol, and to do basic maintenance on it.

I don't believe my wife has ever cleaned her S&W 581 .357 Magnum, but then again, I can't get her to accompany me to the range any more, so she's not the one who gets it dirty.
This week my daughter gets her first gun, a Charles Daly youth 20 gauge autoloader. The day we ordered it last week she asked if she's getting her own cleaning kit. When we open the box we'll read the instructions first and she'll learn to do the initial cleaning and maintain it for herself from then on (with supervision/assistance as needed).
I've already told her I won't be her gun cleaning drudge. This caused my son to ask his wife "did you hear that?" She dirties up the guns on a regular basis and my son does all the cleaning.

no family here, but I do offer up to clean anyone's firearms that needs it. I used to have a neighbor that had a mossberg shotgun that although he never used, he liked keeping it clean to ensure if he ever needs to use it in defense, it was ready.
He used to have me come over and clean it in exchange for Arby's (my gold standard bribe...arby's beef and cheddar, many packs of horsie sauce for the fries, curly fries and a coke....there's only a few things I won't do if this offering is compensation).

Not hardly~! 
I do all of the firearms cleaning, myself- NOBODY ELSE.

My wife told me she would clean her own firearms when I started doing my own cooking. Apparently Pizza Hut delivery does not qualify as my own cooking.
