Is it always the woman that should do the house cleaning...????

My husband helps with the household tasks. And i am very grateful for his help. I also know a couple where the woman works and the man takes care of the house. It works out very well for them.

I don't know but I know that I don't allow my man to do the housework for I don't believe that he should he works all day at a job and brings home money to pay the bills and takes care of the outside chores that needs to be done the least I could do is keep the house up, when i was working outside the home he would help me with little things but I am ole fashion and really against that....I prefer to clean my own house and not let someone else do it, he is good at picking up after himself and that helps alot.i guess i never looked at housework as work just something that has to be done every day.kinda a habit for me.

Well, i dont really agree that she has to do cleaning and almost eveything in our house. Me, a father of two, can't stay for nothing to do at home. As long as there is a need to fix for something, i need to assist and help my wife. I can handle laundry while she's cooking or vice versa. Except that there are things that I myself need to do... like checking our electric wirings, installing additional outlets... like that...and the likes that men really have no option but to do it himself. So, that's it, you can always help your wife in house chores rather than just watch tv or play computer games..

I think it should either be whoever doesn't have a job whether it be the man or the woman, or both partners put in an effort to take care of the children and clean then house. I'm a man and I don't mind cleaning the house or doing laundry.

its not like that. Any one at home can do this provided they are physically strong to do so. You have to share the responsibilities at home. both the man and the woman should be mutually helping each other in anything and everything that makes the life very understanding for sure

I agree that most of the housework and taking care of the children falls onto the women in our society. I personally would rather do it because my boyfriend never does it right and I find myself having to go over and do it myself anyways. I love taking care of our daughter too while he is at work. I think it really helps that he knows that my "job" is just as tough as his is and he respects what I do.

No,why should always woman be the one whose got to take care of the household?There is no hard and fast rule about it nor the society wants it like that.Its just the understanding between the partners.I am a working woman with 2 kids.Even i faced the same problem when i started initally however now everything seems to be okay.All that i did was made him realise that work at home has to be shared because i am harldy left with any time to do it all alone.From that time he has been sharing work as and when required and we also tend to change our type of work at home.This is avoid boredom.This works for me

I would never accept this. Both me and my bf works fulltime and therefor we also share the housework. He gets to clean, wash vlothes and dishes, vaccum and clean windows just like me. if he would ever think about refusing I do not know what i would do... We are equals!!!

Me and my husband work full time and have two children. He helps out with the house work as much as I do. Its his house too and Feel that he should pick up after himself and the children sometimes. I guess that I just feel that we both live in the house that we both should contribute to keeping it clean. It would be different if I was a stay at home mom because then I would do it all. When I was on maternity leave he didn't have to lift a finger.

I think there should be no hard and fast rule on who cleans the house or do the laundry. Household chores should be a shared-responsibility. Afterall, it's the place where you live. Who can stand living in a messy place?

If both the man and the woman work outside the house then household duties should be shared. If the woman is a stay at home wife/mother than the household chores should be her responsibility. The man shouldnt be expected to work all day and then come home and have to cook and clean. I do think when the man gets home he should spend quality time with his children and then with his wife after the kids are in bed.

My husband helps with what he can, since he works most of the day, but believe it or not he is the one who cooks and does laundry and I do the dishes and keep the rest of the home looking nice. You're right men should help more.

now days woman go to work ,she makes her own space for herself .she is more responsible ,contributing towrds socialservice .the mentality of the masses are changing .now adays we just cannot a imagine offices without a woman,she is making aworld more global adding her contributions towards every aspect of life .it would be more a thing to say that she is born with administration capabilities from home to office and for ur second question men also are having some responsibilties that woman should not deny.but isay it the again women is the heart of family and men the brain.one should always maintain the these balance

No it's not only the woman's job. It's both partner's responcability. It's a real stupid idea that it's only the womans job. I help my wife all the time with the house!

Hi Patricia, I should consider myself lucky because my husband is THE MAN. We've been able to work together on the house chores. He does the marketing, i do the cooking. I serve food on the table, he does the washing up. I do the laundry, he hangs them dry. I clean the house, he help mind the kids. He is ONE in a MILLION! I personally think that you should talk it out in a rational manner either with your spouse, or significant other. If you are not married, then your other siblings. Let them know how you feel and let him see your side of things. Nobody can read minds. House chores never ends but if you can find a way to distribute the chores, you'll be much happier. Cheers!- Lyn

How can you say woman only do the house cleaning and washing the cloth?. It is wrong. In most of the household even man do cooking also. Time has changed. Woman is also working and earning money now a day. Therefore both of them share the household chores.

era have changed, the last time, man go to work while women stay at home do all the house cleaning or the house chores. Now, most of the husband and wife are working, so it will be unfair for the wife to do all the house chores, it will be very tiring for the wife. Both husband and wife are working but the wife do all the house chores, unfair for me although I am a man. I am not married yet and when I get married, I will be my wife best helper, it is not so good not to help her. The wife may get upset with us. Sometime a big fight will happen just because of the house chores.So man out there, don't be lazy to help your wife especially when they are working person just like us.

yep i agree with you its millenium time and i think it is with the woman or with the girl, i mean thats their decision to be in the house whole day and do cleaning, taking care of the siblings, i know it is tradition that the woman will stay in the house while the man will go out and work.. but for me, you do have a choice which would you like to work or just stay in home?? just decide and talk to tyour man about it.. :)

My answer is no. Actually, Man should help woman to do some houseworks. If the husband work so busy, he can do little. That is not means that man do not need to do the houseworks.

Definitely not!! I think the men should now learn to take turns to do the house cleaning cuz women are too busy doing their make-up, dropping kids to work, going to work themselves,etc.. Its high time men learn to do some work, apart from staring at other women, and reading the newspaper all day long!!
