Do you think that husban and wife should do 50/50?

helo my new friend,i am glad to discuss here.i agree with 50/50. because whoever women or men are all responsible to their family,life,kids.and i think husband and wife should share it equally. i hope you can get on wel with each other. good luck to you

Yeah. I think since the bills are now 50/50 all the housework and yardwork and babysitting the kids should also be 50/50.

No - I think both husband and wife should do 100/100! I think both should put forth 100% of there every thing. I think that if both the husband and wife work they should both take care of the kids, both should cook, both should do the daily household chores, both should deal with finances, and so on. I think that the only way to a happy marriage is if you both do 100% all the time. Even though you are married and surpost to be "one" you are still 2 people and if you both only do 50% its not enough. If the husband or wife stays home and doesn't work outside of the house then that person should take care of the majority of the house work and taking care of the kids BUT I think the person who does work out of the house should do things too. Especally with the kids. The out of the house parent should definatly give the in house person some time to do what they want too.

for me, husband and wife has no the same work to be done.. like for instance, most of the husbands are working in the office, so, he can't really work inside the house, unless it's his day off or week ends.. and for the wife that's most of them are inside the house, doing the house chores, feeding the kids, sending them to school, etc.. for me, marriage would be happier if husbands and wifes has full patience for each others work and each others responsibilities.. it depends on how they talk about their jobs as husbands and wives..

Ihave been married for 15 years, 3 kids. along time ago my wife was pretty pissed,I asked what i could do to make her happy. She said it wouldnt hurt for me to help out around the house more. I said ill tell you what I will do all the laundry from know on. Well the laundry alone is enough to make you feel like a slave. Since then i try to do as much as possable.I just did not realize the amount of work that went into a house.Try swaping roles, it will help both to understand, and thats what its all about anyway. dont let it build up inside you, the resentment will kill your love for him.

wel i do agree with you that husband and wife should 50/50... Infact me and my husband do 50/50 and we have no problems all can say is i am a very lucky girl that i have him in my life.... we do everything 50/50 it could be anything...

i think they should do 50/50. women are no longer confined in house looking after children only. they ar also in job. so both should be equally responsible.

Hi There, I think the world continues to be a changing place. Traditional roles do not tend to mean so much anymore. Every situation is different. I certainly do believe that it should be a 50-50 split of everything. How that is split depends upon the individual situation. cheers,

Dear friend, I do not think so, as I hope each individual has his/her own capacity and effecity that differ from others. Hence I feel that if wife could do husband could help her and same with the husband too. Actually it should not be a burden for both. Some the wife may turn to be unhealthy hence I feel the husband could take the role of making the his wife healthy and other work too provided he could not bring any burden to his wife the same may be with wife too. Still there are limitations like wife cannot go to husband's office to do his work so on.. Hence I feel both of them go well without making a burden to each other. More than that both may give a helping and loving care to each other. This may help to get away their partition of work burden.

Yes... Nowadays, the female need too work and earn money to lighten the burden of the dosmetic afford. So I think it's the husband's responsibility to share with the wife for the house work. It's fair. Female also human, will feel tired too, if the husband willing to share the work, the working together sure will getting happier and I'm sure the relation will be closer too.

If a wife is working a job outside the home, then yes, hubby should definitely do his share of the housekeeping and childcare. If I was working outside the home and came home and he plopped down in his recliner while I was running around cooking, doing laundry, and all those other things; he would get a good smack on the back of the head.

I only think that the husband and wife should do 50/50 if the husband has less than or equal to the wife's total money. Otherwise, he should try to support his family because it is what is expected of men. There are so many prejudices in society. Women have a harder time finding work. They also have to see to the household. So it is only fair that the bills be paid by the husband. Of course, if he can't afford everything then the loving wife needs to adjust as well.

In reading your post I'm guessing you don't live in the US. (And no offense intended at all there) But here in the US the women have been working for a long long time now. Men cook, clean and share the duties, as they well should. In my household we share the duties and the earnings. And thats as it should be. Gone are the days (praise be) where the women were treated as virtual slaves and were EXPECTED to do it all. In our country its up to each family to choose how things will be handled and by whom. I know there are some men out there that still expect the "little woman" to be chained to a stove and dropping babies every year. Thankfully those types are getting fewer and fewer!

I think it depends. If the woman is a housewife and does not have a "job" then she should do all she can at the house. But if she does work then they should both definitely help eachother with everything. I think it's wrong when a man expects everything to be done for him. I just think they should both love eachother enough to WANT to help, most importantly. Like my husband won't take care of the baby. He won't change his diaper because he thinks it's too disgusting. Of course this frustrates me but the good sides of him outweighs the bad by far.

To me it is obvious that partners share the work to be done. The important thing is that both does their part - it is not important who does what. Here my man is in charge of the floors and the kitchen. I do laundry and clean the bathroom. I tidy up. He cooks. I see no reason what so ever that the woman should get stuck with all the work. She is not a slave and he is not a master. if I had a man like that I would have had to be unconscious when we teamed up, or he must have changed as soon as we moved in together. It is completely unacceptable to me to dump everything on one in a partnership

Doing the household chores is really a hard task, but what is important is that you know how to give way. What if the wife does all the household chores and the husband doesn't even help her. If in case she gets sick, then who will do the other tasks. It must be discussed, and you make an agreement which of course acceptable to both of you. Both of you deserves a rest but sometimes one has more energy than the other. So if you feel you want to do more of the task, then do so and show your partner that because you love him you will do it with love.

I think if both people are working they should both help with the house work and child care. If one spouse is working say 16 hours to one working 8 hours a day then obviously the one working 8 should have to do more than the one working 16. I think it does cause problems in a marriage for one to work and then have to work at home while the other works and then sits around once they get home.
