Who do the household chores in your house? Men or women?

same here. i do all the household work. the most the guys do is take the trash out. i tried to give everyone one set chore to do but they just half did all the work. so i do all the cleaning from now on.

My husband and I, my grown kids all chip in and get it done together! No gender is excluded and no one of any age! That's what family is for! (GET OFF THE COUCH, get the lazy behind UP and get to WORK! Works for us! Guys also need to know to do laundry, vacuum, cook, make beds, etc..it is the PARENT's job to see to it they know!)

Your family sounds like mine! I have to exclude s/o from any rant I might make about the past 2 days because he was working 12 hour shifts but when he's off he does very little to help out...mostly taking the boys outside so I can get work done inside, which is a big help except that they all come back in covered in dirt and in need of an immediate shower and that's not always convenient depending on what I'm doing. Stepson does absolutely nothing. If we ask multiple times he might take out the garbage. Right now his girlfriend is here and she does everything for him...even though she says she doesn't want to. It's disgusting what that kid has picked up from his father. So I at least make my boys help out. They might be little but they can do a lot. The 5 year old loves to vacuum and fold things, the 3 year old will wipe things down, the little one (almost 20 months) carries things to the washer, puts clothes in the dryer and picks up toys...yes, he's likely to dump them out again 5 miniutes later lol, but he will pick them up again too.

Since my husband and I are both working, the household chores are equally divided. My son can't do the household chores yet coz he's only two years old.

I came from Asian country and i was raised having the belief that a woman should know how to do household chores because it is our responsibility to do that.When i came here in the US my sister in law told me that i might be the last woman here that does those things because she hates doing these but i said i don't mind because i am use to it even i am a degree holder.Luckily, my husband helps me some of our household chores like cooking, washing clothes but i do the cleaning most of the time.

in my house my wife and myself do all the works on shared basis if the work is under her caapacity then she did that work but i help my wife on the day of my holiday at home i love to wash cloths and washing of romms in a lot also i love cooking also

Same here. I would not say that my husband is lazy, he is too busy to do any sort of household work. There are some that he does routinely like putting out the trash, switching off all the electrical items at night, checking doors an windows before leaving home for office and so on. But if you expect him to do anything more or tell him to do something, he will either forget or delay it so that I do it myself. Just the other day I was telling him that he depends so much on me to do everything, on whom should I depend? Even I feel that I am doing everything here and in my absence, there is nobody to take care of the house. I feel very stifled at times.

Well in my house the guys normally do all the work but its my kids who do it. They dont do the hard stuff of course but they clean off the table and do the dishes. They pick up after themselves. They clean the bathroom once a week and pick up there rooms. They even do laundry once in awhile.

I am 21 yrs old... and still dont do any household work.... i am very lazy.... My Dad works at office whole day untill he comes home and takes some rest... so he neither does any work at home... This leaves my mom to do all the household stuff... I think its time to realize that i should start doing atleast my work.... that would help my mom.. so with respect to the question... Women do the household chores in my house....

hi there... my mom and i do most of the houseworks.. i know how you feel because aside from my mom i'm the only girl in the family so my brother will always leave the house with their things really messed up and i always clean them. it really irritates me! i tried not to clean the house but my mom just scold me.. it's really unfair for women to always do the houseworks.. there should be equality inside our homes..

That's interesting. In our household, it's only me, my mom and my sister. For household chores like washing the dishes and clothes, it mostly them who do the job. My part is to actually handle handy work such as fix/rearrange things. I do cleaning some times though in order to help a bit especially during general cleaning.

I usually do the house keeping.Mr. Husband helps me once in a while.Or if i don't feel good he does all of it.The only thing he can't do while i am here is the laundry.Dirty clothes can wait until i am okay.I have 3 kids,my eldest does only the dish washing.The other two,still young to do adult work,i ask them to pick up their toys.Have to start early,otherwise i'll be doing it until i get old,lol.

i completely agree with you. its the same scene at my home too. emn at home are good for nothing, sometimes i ask myself that do they behave the same in the office also. why do they behave like this when it comes to household works. has god written it that it is the women who have to do all this ever and ever with out any complaints and with out any break.

Major fiances and hubbies are lazy all around the world. In my family, my honey's cooking is senond to none, so i always clean dishes. And now it's natural to have this habit to each other. Because we still have no children, so other things haven't fussed us. I think no matter who do chores less or more, keeping balance is more important. :) I am also lazy man.

Although I (female) probably do the most, I grew up in a family where men and women all helped out. I am lucky enough to have married a man who is also willing to do his share. If the man is working outside the home all day and the woman is staying at home, I guess she would do most of the housework. But if there are kids, she still can't do it all and so all members of the family should pitch in. If both man and woman are working then the chores should be evenly divided if at all possible. There's just no such thing as men's work or women's work anymore in the U.S.

I think men and women can do the household chores.. But i think of the time, women usually do the household chores because sometimes men are lazy to do it.. It depends on the situation on how you talk about it.. Make a list of works that both of you can do the household chores just to make it fair..

It is just my fiance and me . For the most part I do most of the cleaning , and he is the one who will make the messes . If I lived alone my house would always be clean He does give a hand though , so I shouldn't complain . I just do the normal picking up afer him , and sometimes that will make me crazy . He leaves all his shoes over the house and can never find him . Also, sometimes when he says he has cleaned up a mess that is not so , and I have to end up doing it all over . Wow that was a small little vent !!
