Husbands and house chores: the big debate

Yes my husband is very good in washing up the dishes after meals and hanging the laundry and folding them. He folds them super fast unlike me. I am thankful that he helps. I do the mopping and cleaning of bathrooms.

I'll have you know that not all men fit that stereotype. I absolutely love to cook and actually cook 99% of the meals at home. No, not hot dogs and potato chips either! Nearly every day of the week, I do at least two loads of laundry, clean the kitchen and dining room and tidy up the living room. Oh, did I mention that I have five kids? Yeah, it's a busy day from dawn to dusk! Two of the kids are mine and three are my fiance's, but they're all ours and we love 'em all. As I type this, dinner is finished, the dishes are nearly done (one soaking), the kids are sluggishly attempting to play before bedtime and I'm sitting at the kitchen bar with a cup of coffee. Life's good.

you both should be working equally to the benefit of the relationship no one should be sitting around and doing nothing. I wonder why you ask this question becase it seems as if you already know the answer.

My husband helps some. When I use to work he helped some. lol. but i'm not working now and I do just about everything. I agree with you, if I was still working than it most definately needs to be divided equally.

im living with my boyfriend... even if im not busy or not working during my rest days, he still do his part with the house chores. we actually divided them among ourselves because we think that house chores are tasks that both of us needs to do. even if we are busy outside of the house (work for example), thats our personal life outside. we dont consider those things actually when we talk about house chores...

My man helps me out when he can tell I really need it. SOmetimes I come home from church to a tidied up house, that's always nice. I beleive the same as you. He makes the majority of the money, so I do the majority of keeping up the house. It ends up being pretty 50/50 since I do work outside the house a well, just not as much as him.

I guess I am a lucky woman. My husband/boyfriend does all of the vacuuming and living room dusting. AND all of the outside stuff. He is really good to me. I also believe that the work should be 50/50. But I also believe that the types of jobs that they have should count towards that, also.
