Help! I don't think my husband knows how to help, unless I tell him exactly what to do. He acts totally helpLESS. I believe its just an act he puts on though. He thinks I won't ask him to do anything if he acts like he doesn't know what to do. I am a SAHM to 3 kids 4 1/2 and younger, I attend college, and I am starting a business. He thinks I don't do anything! Men, you can't live with them and you can't live without them!

Yes, he does when he is here with us, (he works onboard that's why most of the time we live apart from each other) but when he is in a vacation he definitely spend all his time with us, he dont go out with his friend and honestly as we get married my husband just stay inside the house and no night life gimmicks, he totally devoted himself to his family, thats why im so thankful that God gave him to me as my partner and bestfriend too. He always make sure that he spent the most quality time being with us.

In my case, I am the husband and I help my spouse in house hold chores, as much as I can.

yes, my husband helps me. but mostly he was doing men jobs like throwing garbage, cleaning our bath room and cleaning our garage. usually my job washing dishes & cleaning the room. I guess we help each others by doing different things at home.

My husband also works a lot of hours but does a LOT around here too. He is a really good guy and would do anything I asked or needed and does a lot without me even saying a word. I am lucky in that respect and I so appreciate his help. I work online and am always writing and he picks up the slack.

Well he does but not too much. I mean he tries to see that all things are in order but would need to be told to help to really get him doing some really meaningful work which signifies that he is offering some help in my daily work.

yeah, you are lucky. my husband made it clear he doesn't want to do much work. maybe he'll get the kids to clean up so i can finish vacuming and of course its his job to take out the trash, but other then that...its all me. taking care of 2 kids (and a 3rd during the week) i still got all the housework and cooking to do....it sucks sometimes, and he still expects me to be in the mood at night to serve him...

I have a chronic illness so there are some household chores I am unable to do such as vacuuming and washing the floors. (My husband is away right now and I did vacuum last week and paid for it dearly). He works 12 hour shifts so when he is working he doesn't do much around here. He gets home and he is very tired. But on his off days he will vacuum and wash the floors as well as help wash the dishes and occasionally make a meal but his menu is limited to bacon & eggs, Kraft Dinner, and hot dogs & French fries, and barbecue burgers. He used to do the groceries but since I have had an improvement in my illness, and I got frustrated with his grocery choices, I decided to take that back. Laundry is all mine. I won't let anyone touch my laundry. I guess I can't complain about hubby. He does a pretty good job at what he does do and I am grateful to him. He will step up if I am having a bad health day.

I'm a housewife, my husband is the main income. I do all the works at home. My husband just do what i can not do, like hang a picture, fix the tap, change the light... And what i can do, i will do and i don't like him to do, because after finishing I have to clean all the mess that he makes. So it's better he do what i can't do (or maybe so difficult for me to do). And we are happy with that!

Yes my husband does help me out with household chore sometimes. Thank God he does have that typical stereotype male attitude. He is very caring.When i was sick in bed, he did almost the household chores singlehandedly, without grumbling!I'm really happy to have a loving husband.

Yes he helps out with everything around the house and works a full-time job. We should feel lucky because there isn't too many out there that will share the household responsibilities.
