Office Work or Household Tasks?

well I am a woman and my men always did whatever needed to be done, so there was never an issue of you should do this or that, we shared everything together.

I've always been the worker, as my partner was studying. However, more recently I've become sick so lost my job. I now write at home for a bit of cash. As far as household stuff goes, she tidies and dusts. She cleans the bath and loo. I hoover, clean floors and walls, cook and do the shopping. We pretty much share all tasks, within our physical abilities (I can reach higher, for example!). When we have kids, I can be pretty sure it'll be very much a 50/50 share of time, work and so on. Given a choice, I'd like us both to work part-time and be at home part-time. That is, a 50/50 across the board. She agrees, as long as she doesn't have to cook (she hates that!). lol!

We live on a ranch, everyone does a little bit of everything. It's all work that has to be done so we both do what's needed.

i think the idea is to cooperate and help out each other so that the burden is not felt by any one member alone..

Well, sorry for dropping in this discussion, as I am a woman and not man... But I just wanted to say HOW COOL it is when man takes the initiative in household works and in looking- after HIS children as well!! Cheers. My best wishes to You!

Hi djonghs This is shankar from India.As I am a male I always prefer to choose office work for earning money rather than doing household tasks.Somehow I can interfere in household tasks for my family where ever required.
