do you think husband should help his wife in household chores?

I think husbands should help, but there should also be a balance. For example, if the woman is a working parent the husband should help as much as possible. In the case of a stay-at-home mom, though, the husband shouldn't be expected to do as much. I hope that makes sense. I am a stay-at-home mom, and I try to keep up with the housework and the children's homework so my husband can enjoy his time off. On the weekends when we are all home, though, he pitches in with the daily chores and cooking. He also watches the kids so I can do outside activities.

Sure. A husband should help his wife to do some housework. As both of them are responsible to the family, so it's fair that they share the housework. It is wrong to let the wife to do all the housework.

A tricky one navneetrai, this is a good gesture husbands to do but it must be absolutely voluntary- However,I would not take it as some kind of fun, if my wife begins to demand that I must complete a certain allocation of chores in the house-for instance, asking me to do the dishes every morning would be asking too much. Am an educated African man, that is why I have a bit of liberalism here, but for the typical, raw African man who has never gone to school, except for the wisdom handed over to him by culture/traditions, asking him to cook or wash dishes or sit the baby will probably cause immediate divorce.

Yes, of course, husband should help his wife in all household chores. I discussed about gender development and it is one topic that internationally is being followed and patterned. There must be equality between sexes even at home and even at work.

Yeh i think that men should also help their woman in daily household duties and i have witnessed a few man doin it as well but only if they are in nuclear families. I have seen man cooking food for them (specially dinner) as the woman comes late from work.

Yes, what he said is rite, husband should be a helping hand in household also.

Some husbands do help with the chores you describe as household chores. Plenty more do their own household chores which you do not consider (heavy yardwork, home maintenance, auto work). There are also husbands that do spend time with their children and do things for them or with them. I do agree some husbands are pretty poor in helping out and they should get their acts together. But not much consideration is given to those that do step up to the plate. In other cases, there are husbands who do contribute to household almost beyond mortal limit(work 8-10 hrs a day, cook, clean, launder, do yardwork, home maintenance, parent, etc.) and their wives still say "not good enough".

I'm a homemaker if you will, and even if I'm working, I was just raised that a woman should take care of home and family and the man should provide. Me and my hubby don't have kids, but if we did I definately would expect him to "want" to help me care for them. I don't really expect him to cook or clean, but he does that on his own. I don't have to ask him or nag him about anything. The only thing he doesn't do around the house is the laundry, and that's mainly because I have to go to the laundromat and he's working 12 hours a day. Because of that I would really prefer him to do nothing when he comes home, but he helps me anyway. I just think it's a different preference for different couples. I don't think that just because he's the man or she's the woman that either task applies to just one person. Somethings are just easier to get done by one of them. It's really an individuals choice.

I think yes, if husband do not help even more help in a family and in household chores then why husband marry a girl to make her his wife??

Yes,I agree to share the chores in home with my wife,I will I like cooking and I am good at it.:)

When a man and a woman decide to make a family and became a husband and wife, they should realize that anything should be done together. Doing househlod works for instance. A husband should do the the household work as part of his commitment when he proposed a woman became his wife. A husband should not feel that he is under depressed of his wife therefore he should help his wife. Taking care the childrend or letting his wife to enjoy her spare time will be much appreciated by his wife and those are a great help for wife.

i think there should be help from both parties involved in the relationship.. but it should be an equal help and not all the tough jobs just put on one person. but chores done together can actually help with closeness and actually feel like spending time together and not 'work'.

I agree fully! we should help our significant other out on everything. I remeber what it felt like to be absolutly crazy over someone. we were together for 4 years, and i wanted to do everything for her n e way, there was nuthin i woudnt do for her for the entire time, i guess it depends on the type of realationship ur in for this question to be relivent.

Oh my goodness I just started a discussion similiar to this. I totally agree that a husband/boyfriend should help with sharing household responsibilities! Im doing the stay at home mom thing right now so I can be here for my kids...I do most of the housework because Im here and I can. However when I get done cleaning all day and he gets home and leaves his dirty works socks in the middle of my clean living room we have issues. I can seriously count the number of times on one hand that he has done dishes in our new house...We have a dishwasher mind you! I have a 24/7 job being a mom and taking care of the household...I would gladly go back to work ( Im a nurse) And let him stay home and try to do what I do. He wouldnt last a week...All I want is a bit of help...Doesnt even need to be 50/50 at this point...Just pick up after himself and take the dang trash out and play with the kiddies when Im busy...I dont ask for much I swear...some men these days though are so dependent on women to get them through their day it amazes me. Im not sure how my hubby survived without me to tell you the truth.

I think it's a healthy relationship if husbands and wives help each other like in household chores. If the husband is free on such days and there's heavy loads of washing, he may carry the heavy laundry baskets and put the clothes right there while the wife is doing something else. Each of them may be enjoying helping each other in the chores.

Yes, I think husbands should share chores, when you marry, you share everything; bearing children, raising the children,sharing expenses ect. so I feel chores should be shared as well. My husband does chores and he even cooks on the days that i'm really tired.

I am often guilty of not helping my wife as much as I should. However, I am getting better and without hesitation must say that this is a partnership thing. Its down to sharing and so lending a hand is the way to go.

Definitely, if both people live in the same house then yes both should help out with keeping the house clean. It gets the job done so much quicker if there are two people. And kids should also help. As this helps to teach them how to look after their own house when eventually they move out.

I think the man should help his wife in household work-stuff like cleaning the household,washing the kids etc. After all a husband and wife have pledged to share everything so why not duties?

To me, husband and wife should work together in running their daily life. When a wife is taking care the childrend, husband should take care the household work as well or the opposite. If financial of the family is responsibled only by the husband, he still can help his wife in doing some household works such as cleaning the house or gardening. Woman as a wife also should be wised in dedicating a job to husband. Sharing the household work doesn't mean making a list which provides type of activities that should be done for wife and husband. However, the couples should fully understand about the situation they faced and work together for better result.
