Does your husband...

I am truly blessed to have a husband who also helps me around the house. Especially when I had a difficulty with my pregnancy before and the doctor advised me to have a total bed rest, my husband would wake up very early to cook our meals and prepare everything I need at my side before he'd go to work. And when he'd come home, he'd prepare our meals again, wash the dishes, give me a sponge bath, throw the trash, clean up the house and walk the dog. He also did the laundry on weekends. Now that I am able and back to work, I do the cleaning, cooking, washing of dishes every morning. But at night, because he comes home earlier than me, he'd prepare our food and wash the plates we used. On weekends, he helps me with the laundry and clean the bathroom and then I help him clean the car. Aside from the chores, he gives me massage too every night! I'm one lucky woman and wife! :p

I went on strike once because my hubby didn't help out around the house. I have also done the tally up the services thing and presented my hubby with teh bill and even transferred the money to my account. Going on strike doesn't always work as eventually it gets so gross you give in and clean it up. Money is where it really got to my hubby. He started helping out more. Now, he does the dishes, takes out the trash and handles all dog related chores. He even cleans the toilet for me.

I'm very lucky in that my partner will do some housework.....if I ask him to. A lot of the time he can be very messy around the house, his clothes left on the floor and dirty dishes left on the table. He works very hard to pay our bills and look after me so up to a point I don't mind. However, there are times when I wish he would just clear up his mess.:-)

My husband will help with the housework if I ask him to. When I was working 2 jobs he helped out all the time. But, we have always shared the cooking duties. The only thing is that he does not do the dishes or clean up after he cooks. But, with our child he did almost everything; changing diapers, feeding, bathing, dressing and even helped with the laundry back then. Now, that I am no longer working outside the home and our son is old enough to take care of most things himself, he is getting kind of lazy. I would just talk to your husband again, and explain to him the difficulty that you are having and asking him to pitch in. Sorry, but that is the only advice I can give you. Good luck! tdbrower1969

dont worry your not the only person suffer for this kind of life i also suffer for that thing but like what youve said i love my husband so much and i think i cannot live without him actually i even try leaving him but still im turning back to him for so many times. sometimes i said to myself am i the only person who experience this but now i know im not the only one who experience this. you know i think your husband is much better than mine coz his working in my condition im the only one who is working for us and did you know that we have a 3 months old baby. but im still here for him coz i love him and sometimes i hate to it to tell myself that im so stupid becoz i love him so much more than mylife.

Heavenschild, No you are not alone my husband gets up at 4:00 a.m. to be at work at 6:00 a.m. I stay at home caring for our daughter. When he comes home the first thing he does is tske off his shoes and sit at the computer. If there is something out of place he gets an attitude. I must admit some days i really do not do a thing around here. When i ask him to help me on his days off he tells me that he shouldn't have to do anything at all. Reason being is .. and I quote; " I do what a man is supossed to do. I do not feel like I should do anything around the house, specially on my days off." So he just lays on the bed eats his meals there and doesn't even help me with our child. When our daughter wants to play with him he just tells her that he is too tired and tells her to take a nap. There for I end up playing with her day and night. My husband really does not do anything here but go to work and come back.

I was very fortunate when my daughter was under 2, as my late husband helped with pretty much every aspect of her care. From the beginning, he'd change diapers, sterilize bottles, make formula, give baths, etc. etc. Of course, he worked full time, and I was the one at home with her all day, so he'd often come home and cook dinner. He even did this before she was born, as he enjoyed cooking, and was a great cook. When we'd go out to friends etc. on the weekends, he'd be the one to put her down to sleep, and he'd listen for her, go get her up, change her, and feed her as well. He wanted to give me a break, especially if it was mostly a group of my longtime friends we were with. People would notice this (you could'nt help it), and be very impressed. After writing this response, it's caused me to remember just what a terrific hands-on dad he was to our daughter.

My husband is in marketing job,it is not time bond,hence he is at home when ever i need him.He helps me a lot in various ways,he help to take studies of children,cooking,and all the outdoor work is carried out by him.He even sometime put on washing machine for cleaning cloths,he help me in each way its possible.
