Should husbands be more hands-on when it comes to bringing up children and keeping the house clean? Many housewives I know feel that they lack support from their husbands in these areas. They feel that their husbands go out and work so bringing up kids and keeping the house tidy is their responsibility. But when do these mothers get a BREAK??? What do you think?

I think it depends on dose the wife work outside the home, as far as the housework goes. if both work than it should be a shared effort you are helping him and he should do the same,but bringing up the children is another matter,you didnt get the children by yourself so he should take 50% of the responsibility for raiseing them. I think to get a break they have to almost demand one.

i think that just because the husband works so does the mom and the both had the kids and they both live in the house so he shouldnt have a problem helping out around with stuff now come dont all of you agree with me?.
