Do the younger generation of men today expect to be waited on hand and foot?

Yah, housewives have just as much to do in the home, as others in the workplace, especially when children are involved cos you're constantly on the go.

I'm really sorry for going ballistic at that honeylover or whomsoever it was, I too went out of the way to criticicse. But coming back to the topic, yes, I think men too should have an equal share in the household chores. My father has always helped my mother with her work irrespective of whether it was a holiday for him or not. I too try being as helpful as I can to my mother and the least I can do is keep my room clean and wash my own clothes, ironing them myself. Such small things go a long way in reducing the workload on the woman, it would be gross injustice if only the woman is to do the household chores. Good day to you, bye.

My husband helps me around the house as much as he can. I am a stay at home mom and I feel like my day never ends. There is always something to be done, so I appreciate his help when I do get it.

All I can say to the person above is - "Go to Hell". How many times will you post such irrelevant things. I think we should all report the user above, this isn't the first time I'm seeing this person post such things. All she's doing is pasting the same things in all the topics. I think such people should be repoted because what they are doing is nothing short of spamming!

Are you talking about me??!!

Ok that looks like another Idiot playing silly Games as there is no call for that response what so ever so I think we have another Spammer here who is copying something and not knowing what it says and accusing People I suggest we ignore him lol

It's good to hear that, but you still find the odd few. Last year I was sharing with 2 lads whose mothers did all the tidying up after them, they would leave dirty plates etc everywhere, and wouldn't even put their rubbish in the bin...I'm just soooo glad to be outta there!

Any man who can work a washing machine would be good! lol!

there's no way i'm playing 'mother' to my partner, they can forget about it! People do need to treat their kids equally when it comes to household chores.

I help my girlfriend around the house all the time. I also have to say that she helps me out around the house all the time as well. It is not my job to dump the trash, and it is not her job to wash the dishes. Items such as that. However, I do say one thing, she doesn't put in more work around the house because I finish it and she says it isn't done the way she wants it. I think MOST men have gone through this bit of thinking. Women tend to think that their way is the only way, and a man might sit down instead of fighting it. Why work if it is only going to be re-done? Anyway, because most families have to have both parts work, then I think both parties will inevitably do both parts. As far as the housewife above who believes her husband should work seven days ( She implied that she expects him to take over the chores on his days off so that she can have days off) I think it's unfair. Maybe I misread that, and you both work six days?

agree

Thanks for the response..:)

lol! that's the way to do it!...but let me guess, he can't cook! ah well, it's amazing how resourceful people can be when they're hungry!..;)

What kids learn in the home is so important..:)

that's great to hear..:)

That's true alright, in Ireland more and more married women are working full time so it's only natural that the husbands are taking a more active role in the household.

'woman was made to serve the man'! now WHERE did you get that from?!

I disagree. We were all created equally. Men and women should take care of eachother equally. One gender was not created to only take care of the other. It is a 2 way street.

or maybe 2 maids! lol!

awww, i'm happy to help..:)

You tell em! Hopefully he'll make some girl really happy someday..:)

I'm not saying that the younger generation don't do anything, I'm just wondering what people's attitues and expectations of their partners are when it comes to household chores etc. as in the olden days the expectations of the women were to take care of the household chores and the kids, while the men were the breadwinners.

I think you should not do your partners landry unless he at least leaves his washing in the basket, and after that it depends on how 'low' you're prepared to go to make him realise you are NOT his mother, and should not be treated like one. If i have sons they will not be taking me for granted, i can tell you that much!
