Is the Man of the House excused for not helping with the household chores?

I think that most men would be happy to help with some household chores. But as to very busy men who are doing a very busy business, maybe they don't have that much time for that because they have to spend lots of time on their business to make more profits and to better support his family.

I believe that as a family, the man of the house should also do his share in household chores. There is no excuse so to speak, not unless they can afford to hire some maids and/or housekeepers!;) Like what me and my father do, we are mostly the one's who are in-charge of the cooking. My mother is not that good in cooking, so we both took the chore from her.

My husband and I both work so we both do household chores. I think it's only fair that way since both of us work. I think if the husband is sick or something like that he should be excused for not helping.

There are no excuses, and men make the excuses or the women make the excuses for them i think, yes there are exceptions though why these excuses are made. If the man has been working too hard at work and returns after 16-18 hours of work, or if hes been out of station, and has just returned after a few hours of work. Or maybe the man was on night duty or working in shifts and has just come back home tired, the reasons can be any and many, but a lot would depend on the family situation too. If the woman feels the mans tired and let him rest, then that rest would carry on for long and make the man feel tired, drained and maybe they wold never help, but incase the man feel that after a little rest, i can get up and help the woman, that would be his good nature i feel, so a lot depend on how they have been doing all this themselves. Generally all men do help at home, even though they are tired and drained out, but they take a little rest and help around, they know whats their share of work,and do their bit willingly. But those who do not and make excuses, they ought to be told to help around too, as,if both partners are working then its natural for the man to share the duties even at home. At times, some men see that their fathers have never worked at home and their mothers never let the sons work, so they also dont work in their own houses, that thought has to be broken, with the changing times now a days. If an excuse has to be made not to work, then no matter what the reasons, good or bad, the man will always make the excuse for not working or get occupied in something that actaully does not need his attention, just to escape from working, they need to be talked to and told to change themselves by the women.

im not agree with that. in my opinion, i think everyone should work inside the house and share different tasks for them to be responsible enough. and also, itcan be the source for them to be more close to each other.

The only excuse I can think of is if he is in poor health or works 15 hours a day. But I know men, who despite that they work long hours, still manage to lend a hand with the household chores. Everybody can find 4-5 hours a week to help with the work at home - if there is a will, there is a way. :)

It depends on what time they can dedicate their time in their house coz many men are used to manage to work outside 8 hours or sometimes if they have an overtime they spend 10 hours on their work but still maybe at weekends they have time in their houses and they can helped even small things in household chores.
