Another one for the guys....

Currently I am on a "gap year" after 31 years out at work. My wife goes to her office each morning and I do the washing, ironing, cleaning, plan the meals and complete the associated shopping. At weekends we now do things together like going to the sea, visiting friends etc, that we didn't do too much of before as we had to do the washing, ironing, shopping etc. I am not a saint, and there are days when she will say that she wants to cook as she has had an idea about the menu; and I am always forgetting to iron her work shirts in time. I spend too much time on MyLot when I could be doing other stuff, but I find the chores actually quite relaxing. Our daughter's away at University which helps. I often watch young mothers hauling their children around town and think "been there, done that, never again".

Well, I don't have a spouse, but I do have roomates. One is male and the other is female. Now, the female of the household loves to keep tidy and do the chores etc. But, being the kind gentlemen we are, we recognize our duties. She is a very hard worker and for that we men pick up the slack. I tend to do most of the cooking for the household and handle the laundry. My male roomate is the handman and tends to do the fixing and runs most of the errands (food, paying the bill and any other random stuff). Our female friend will do the vaccuuming and such, but she makes sure to leave the bathroom for us,lol! So yeah, I do my fair share.

Ok I'm not a guy but I am gonna respond anyway LOL My husband does his own laundry, if I don't feel like cooking he'll cook (ok does Manwich count as "cooking" LOL), if I'm not feeling well (like over the weekend) he'll clean the house, "cook", do our laundry and so on....I'll take any help he wants to offer SOMETIMES..there are those times when I just want it done my way or feel he'll be in the way etc....As for nagging...i dont nag him and I have never made a "honey to do" list either...If I want something done I'll do it my damn self..well unless it requires driving anywhere since i dont have a license LOL but even then I ASK him if he'd mind I dont order him...I'm his friend and wife not his boss ya kow..

Well I do cooking and washing clothes when my honey is not feeling well or is doing other things. I cook better than my honey!

Though not married, and not with anyone, I do plenty of chores. (cooking, cleaning, laundry, ironing). I've also gone back home and even to a couple of other family members places to help out with chores.
