Who do housework in your family? wife,husband or children?

My husband and I both do work around the house. I prefer to do the yard work, and he usually works inside. But we both do both, depending on who has the most time. Sometimes it is me and sometimes it is him. He usually cooks - out of self defence!

im the one who do most of the job coz im the mother of the house, but sometimes i get help from my husband when his home and not working, i don't have a problem washing the dishes coz we have a dishwasher.

In my family we all do house work..!! Except my bother...!! He is just too lathargic...!! Can't do any thing..!! In my house my mother cooks the brek fast,my father cook the dinner and I cook the lunch!! I do all cleaning dusting and sweeping. And maitaining..!! I love when people do "team work". But when "working" things comes up on just one person ..I just hate it..!! Why one why can't we all..!! So we are kind of happy in this field of life!! he he.

yes it is so unfair for the wife to do all the work since everybody ate. i have no husband im a single mom of four kids and my kids share chores. we have schedule to who is going to wash. i make my kids share the chores around the house it makes them grow to be a responsible person.

Family members should work as a team, so whenever we don't have a household help, we divided the task. When my husband is around, he does the cooking, both of us marketing, my daughter does the dishes, while my son feeds the dogs and does other errands. It's not a joke to be doing household chores all by yourself. For our soiled clothes, we bring them to the laundry, so that takes care of basic chores, except cleaning the house, which could be done only once a week. Children should be trained early to help out in household chores.

My wife and I used to do the housework together, including cooking, cleaning, washing the dishes, ironing and just about anything that's needed to be done in the house. She does some, and I do some, but we always work together based on a set routine. Now that I have gotten a maid because of my mother-in-law, the maid has taken over all these tasks, and I just play the supervisory role. But my wife and I still do the groceries each week.

My wife does all the housework. She does not like me getting involved in it, as she is not working. Once in a way I do some work like vaccuming and polishing. I go to the kitchen when we prepare something like french fries or potato chips. My son likes it when I do those as he also can come to the kitchen and play the fool, which he cannot do when my wife is cooking.

Hey t1985, While I do the majority of the cooking my man does the majority of the housework b/c he will just go behind me & do it over if I do clean so I just let him do it. +'s 2 U :D

Since I am not working right now I do almost all the house work. I clean, do laundry and cook. My husband cooks sometimes. When I was working he would occasionally help out with the laundry and vacuuming. Whne my kids were old enough to do chores they helped with dishes and had to keep their rooms clean. As they go old enough they learned to do their own laundry.

I my family i do the cokking work and for dish washing and all that work, i have a maid servant. i can do all the cleaning , cooking, ironing, dusting, maintaining, gardening, and all the work related to house but i am not comfortable to do dish washing. if my servant is on leave , my hubby helps me out in it , he is very helpful and helps me alll the time in kitchen. i m in business with him all the time and he is with me in kitchen alll other house work full time. we both help each other .

During weekend i do the dishes. I help to do chores at home, but during weekends only because at weekdays, sometimes i came home late and tired. My father also cook for us, he is also a good cook compare to my mother. My parents are so multitasker since they are the ones left at home everyday. We the siblings, help them but during weekends only.

Hi tracy, I agree with you. Though traditionally houseworks are done by wives, but I think that houseworks should be equally shared. I do most of the housework, but sometimes I get my sons and husband to share the houseworks too. My husband love food so he does the cooking.

My grandparents do the houseworks in my family.

We share the housework in our home. I tend to do more of the laundry, but when it is a busy week, my husband pitches in and keeps the laundry caught up for me. I do the same for him with the dishes. Things really run pretty smoothly because we both are willing to pick up for the slack of the other. Now that our son is getting older, we keep him involved with the housework, particularly in making sure things like his shoes, toys, etc are picked up everyday. It is working too, because he is quick to point out when me or my husband forget to pick up our clothes!

I am the one that does all of the housework in our house. I have a 2yr old who helps out alot. On a rare occasion my husband might pitch in and help but usually it is me and my 2yr old. She even keeps asking when she can wash the dishes lol.

In my household we split the jobs up. I often am the person who cooks the meals and washes the dishes. My children put the dishes away while my fiancee wipes off the stove and counter tops. Once he is done I will sweep and mop the floor. We try to do everything in our household this way so that everyone participates in cleaning up the messes we all make. I don't think that it is fair for one or two people to clean the mess up when five or six people made the mess. Plus it takes less time to clean if everyone pitches in.

Hi, tracy. Take turn? Good idea! In my family, my mom does it mostly. As you mentioned, housework might be done by wife among most families. It's unfair, isn't it? Who make the rules? I'm still a university student and live in my dorm most time. If I'm back, I'll do some as much as I can. I've grown up and should do everything I could to reduce the burden of my parents. By the way, what my father cooked is also very tasty. I can't wait, I'll eat... ^.^ Have a nice day! :)

Hi,tracy1985! In my family,my mom is the one who does the most housework but my father and I do help her a lot.All family members should share the housework and especially for children. My mom and my fathers are good at cooking so that I'm very lucky because I can enjoy the delicious food when I stay at home.

In my home everyone chips in, so the work load is not too much for just one person

I think house work should be shared among the family members living under the same roof. Maybe a schedule can be worked out so that it would be fair for all. I think that at most households, the mother is the one who does the housework, so it's kinda rare that in your family your father does it. It's sort of a good thing for each family member to do the housework because if the person who does the housework is sick or unavailable, the rest can still keep the house clean, tidy and can feed themselves. Nowadays, most households have maids to take care of the cleanliness.Therefore, the person who does the housework may not even be the family members but an outsider. This is because the people in that house are either really busy or really lazy.
