Do you think a man should help in the housework?

I think men should help with house chores if they have time (which some reluctant to say they do) I think chores are everyone's job, not woman alone. If each member help out, things will be done easier and faster. Some men may say, their work is to bring home money, but some woman work too. Besides, they only work for 5 - 12 hours while the woman that stay at home work 24 hours. Why not help out a bit?

Hi achintha, Why not, a man can do some help at home. Earlier men were going for work outside and women were doing house hold works. Now the situation changed entirely. Women are also going for work outside and earn something. It means both are working. But doing work at home depends on the attitude of men if they want to help family they can do and there is nothing shame on it. In my opinion, they should do work at home.

Men bringing home the bacon and women producing babies and laboring on household chores are already ancient practice that ought to be put down the drain. I believe that a man and a woman should help each other in doing the household chores. There should never be a boundary. How would you feel if there are a lot of chores at home and nobody wants to help you because their assigned chores are already finished? You scrubbing the floor, doing the laundry, cooking, answering the phone, etc., etc., and the rest of the family just watching TV? Kind of hurting right? In this time and age wherein there is no room for additional expense for housemaids and where the women are already helping the men in terms of making money and still going home to take care of the children and the chores... don't you think it is but right that MEN HELP WOMEN in taking care of the household chores too? A family is a circle wherein each and everyone try to make the load lighter on one another. So, I think we should teach our male children at an early age that helping with household chores doesn't demean their manhood, but rather make them more likeable to females!

yes, i would definitely expect him to. there's no longer a clear cut on what should be roles of a man and a woman sharing the same roof. it used to be that the men are the ones bringing home the bread and the women keeps house. but no longer. more and more women tend to go to work to augment financial needs of the family. so a little help here and there around the house is not too much to ask of men. i've known men raised to be self-sufficient in doing household chores. they tend to be great partners around the house. men in my family do their share of cooking, washing the dishes and even doing the laundry. not a single complain. hehehe

If a man is really feeding the family and wife is only resting at home, the housework should be all done by wife but not husband. But if both of them are working, then they should share the housework. I've seen a very good guy, he's really good at doing housework and he enjoys doing it, that woman who can marry him must be happy.

It takes 2 to make a marriage work so why not housework as well. Both partners are equal.. this includes housework. If the woman AND the man both work outside the home then who does the housework?? The woman?? I don't think so.. if a man sees it as the womans job the he is a very selfish fool and the woman needs to find a good man.

well,that depends,if his wife is a full time housewife,then I think he could hardly do something to help with the housework,but if they all work,then I think both of the man and woman should do the housework,together,it's not the female's responsibility to do the houseworks.man should also help more or less

Everybody should help in the household chores. In our house, each got an assignment to do. I am in charge in watching the dishes. It is my sister who cook. It is my brother who prepare the table. It is my mother who do the laundry. It is my father to go to the market. All other works at home, it is our maid who does it.

I think it is a team thing. My fiance' helps around the house and he cleans up our living room and does laundry. But most of the rest lands on me. Oh ya and he takes out the trash when it needs to go out. But I do dishes, some times cook, mop, clean bathroom, sometimes wash clothes keep our bedroom clean and get the kids i the bath for school. So i think there need to be some gie and take on both sides. Good luck
