my boyfriend helps me with the chores without having to be asked. sometimes he is more thorough in the cleaning than i am. i asked him one time why he cleans without me having to ask him. he told me that he helps make the mess so it's only fair that he help cleanup. he also stated that it's his way of show me that he loves me. I feel so blessed that he is willing to help out like this. Does your husband/ boyfriend help with chores? if he does, do you have to harp on him to do it or does he do it willingly without having to be asked?

my boyfriend will help out now and again, literally when he can be bothered is the tone he uses! i really do prefer to clean around the home myself as ive asked my boyfriend to help me before and to be quite frank with you, the house ended up in a worser state than it was in the first place when i asked him to help! he does all of the cokking when he's home so yes i do all the cleaning, it does bore me and makes me unhappy at times but i just think to myself to just get it over and done with because at least if i do it, it's always done properley! oh and one time i asked him to wash the dishes and you know what i am SO SORRY I DID, lol, he literally flooded the kitchen out just by washing a few dishes so i always wash them now aswell! :o)

Yes my special someone helps me with chores. Sometimes he gets to do more house chores than me. He goes to market to buy fresh food, he cleans the house everyday, he wash the dishes, put the garbage out. I on the other hand is designated to cook.

it seems that he doesnt have any sense to help out with the chored around the house.i usually just ask him once and sometimes he does it sometimes he dont,he treats me well,he is a great husband otherwise but i am just tired doing everything and then asking him for a favor to help out a little bit and it does not get done.

He does, sometimes willingly as he could see how busy I am. Sometimes I have to bark LOL. But in general I prefer to do it myself since he doesn't really do a good job sometimes especially in cleaning the house.

Yes, my husband do all the household chores. Because I am the one working for the family. He stays at home doing all household chores and taking care of our son.

hahaha I do that too! I do all the household chores and on occasion he will lift a finger to put something away or tidy up his mess. His cooking makes up for most of the chores he doesn't do.

Most of the time, I can just ask my husband to do something for me and he will without complaining. He usually helps out a lot with our three year son. I'll be doing housework when my husband is taking our son to the potty, fixing him something to eat, or putting on his learning videos to count or say his a,b,c's. My husband also does things he knows I hate, like taking out the garbage when it gets close to being full. Just about anything I ask he will do. I'm happy to have him.

Unfortunately I dont have a husband or boyfriend anymore :o( My husband never cleaned or helped, my ex-fiance did most of the work, we had reverse rolls. I worked and he stayed home with the kids, did the housework and cooking, it was a great set-up.

I am so lucky to have my partner. He cooks and cleans and does the washing. I donlt have to ask him, he just does it when it's needed. We share the chores in the house, it makes the jobs faster which means we have more time for each other.

YES, over our many years of marriage the amount of housework either of us has done has changed with our circumstances. There were times when I was ill for extended periods of time and he did almost all of it. There were times when he was ill and I did almost all of it. lolol, in our senior years we find ourselves doing it TOGETHER, and this is the best of all.

yes, mine help me a lot with the chores. But only problem is when he's at it I shouldnt assist or join in and do it together. But I enjoy it as he allows me to totally relax and while he does it.

Yes, my husband does. There are days where I cook and he wash the dishes. Some days we change, he cooks, I wash the dishes. He also helps in cleaning the house, the only thing he doesnt do is the laundy and ironing of clothes.

I am very fortunate enough that my husband does help me with the chores unconditionally. Most of the time, he even does more than what is supposed to be done. He also does most of the cooking because he finds this as a therapy. Most of all, what surprised me is that he is such a hands on father. When we did not have a baby yet, he was very vocal telling me that holding a tiny baby scares him and that he really didn't know how to deal with a baby. Lo and behold, as soon as our baby came out, he has tended to her every need. I can really count on him to change her nappies, make her milk and put her to sleep without any fuss. You're right. Having these partners are such a blessing because not all men are like this and it IS hard to find men like these.

Right now I do all the chores for I am single. When I do get married I expect my husband to help me just as much as I help him. Isn't called a partnership!
