Do U Help Ur Partner in Kichen

India
August 21, 2008 10:49am CST
Let us start new discussion on this issue. In today's busy life when both the partners are carrier oriented and are required to go for working can only one partners complete the house holding and become ready in the morning to go for the corporate office to discharge company's assignments. This does not have any effect on me because my partner is a house wife.Still I feel happy to help my wife in kitchen while preparing breakfast or dinner because during lunch I am in office and I take my lunch with me. In my opinion where both the partners are working both should jointly helping each others should complete the morning house holding so that one is not burdened with. When the wife is helping to bring in extra money by working in a corporate then what is harm if husband helps her in kitchen. Please share your experience let us make this discussion more meaningful.

No, my husband does a great deal of working for us so I really don't expect him to help me tied up the house. Giving us what we need and meeting our financial obligations is his role in our family. well as mine is to take care of them and manage the house. That's how it works for us.

Not in THIS household. I'm the one doing ALL the housework. The only time HE does anything is if I'm not here and he's starving for anything. He's about to go... permenantly!

Hehe,maybe I'm the most lucky one since as a wife,it is my husband who always cook in the kichen.Just because I also tried to cook something before,but the result is very bad,in fact,you can imagine the worst,since sometimes,my cooking is just not edible,oh,it is really terrible but funny,right? So it is obvious that my husband is far better than me in cooking so he takes the responsibility bravely,haha.And one thing I should blame myself is that sometimes,I don't help him enough,which of course I know is inadvisable,and I will try my best to help him as much as possible in future.Otherwise,he will not bear the stress any more sooner or later since we both work full time.I'm grateful that I have such a caring husband,so I must learn to cherish the uncommon devotion of my husband.

I work part time but I feel I could use a little more help around the house. I basically pay the bills & get no help. If he gets home sooner...it's nap-time. It's just never ending. Take what help you get & be happy with it.

I do help my partner in the kitchen. Sometimes she gets frustrated when she doesn't think I try to help but it's hard when she doesn't want me to help her. So I just try to help where I can and if she acts like she doesn't want me to help I don't bother her.

Hello, My wife is a stay-home lady and always remains busy with household works.so I often help her in cooking and cleaning the house and washing clothes.I don't feel bad of doing such works for my wife.rather I get pleasure.Cooking is my hobby and almost every day i cook fried rice and vegetable fries and soup for us.I would suggest my friends to assist their wives in household works and give her some rest as she already overburdened.thanx.

I don't want him helping in the kitchen! LOL I get up with my husband at 5:20 every morning, I pack him a lunch and something for breakfast to take with him too. And unless I just don't have enough groceries in the house to make dinner(I don't drive and don't have a grocery store within walking distance) or I've just had an exceptionally long and difficult day he comes home to dinner on the table. On the weekends sometimes we will BBQ and that part I let him do, but I do everything else to go with it. Occasionally on the weekends(maybe once every few months) he will make crepes or eggs. Each time he does either of these things he leaves my kitchen a DISASTER! LOL. He makes more work for me then helping me if he tries to do anything in the kitchen! LOL. And somehow he takes twice as long as I do to make something too lol. So in the end, it's just easier if I do it all in the first place! Fortunately though I stay at home so am not trying to get dinner on the table after coming home from work. Things were reversed for us about 5 years ago, I was the one who worked and the hubby stayed at home. He would pick me up after working 8 to 10 hours and ask me what's for dinner LOL. Boy I'm glad I'm the one at home now, there was a lot of fast food back in those days!

We both work and my husband's schedules are not office hours like mine. We are too much busy in everyday tasks including household chores. If i am not available and my husband is free he does the cooking even the laundry as well. He is also in charge of taking care of the kids and a lot more. We don't have a housemaid so we see to it that we help and do things hand in hand without any arguments when it comes to it. But as a wife and a mother, i see to it all things needed are all ready and available before leaving home for work.

Well, at home we have an unwritten rule in the kitchen. That is, if one cooks, the other is responsible for washing the dishes,pots, pans, the works. It's a simple division of labor sort of thing.

I tried helping them, but whenever I try some thing it turns out to be bad. So I got banned from kitchen except when I am alone. Now I am reduced to only cleaning jobs and such things, no cooking strictly

Home, you said the home should be a concept!Social cells - the family,the integrity of a sparrow, the various organs within the body in harmony with the operation, only harmony, the sparrow can grow up healthy and happy and nurtured generations! Just as the family members of the organs of the sparrow, the lack of any one member can not be perfect, or even unhealthy,hard-working outside the home during the day,is also able to go home at night - a warm home, we tired to pacify the souls! This way of life, we always adhere to. . .

First off, let me say you have a lucky wife. My fiance does try to help me out, we both hold full time jobs and have a 2 year old son together. I do try to keep up with things as best I can. There are times when things have been put off for more time than they should, dishes setting in the sink for a couple days, laundry piling up. Once it gets to that point, my fiance gets days off thru the week, I get the weekends off and have our son both Saturday and Sunday, but my fiance takes his day off and catches up on all the house work. His cooking skills though, that's where he lacks. But I am more than willing to do the cooking everyday in exchange for all the help I get elsewhere.
