Do you share the housework with your husband????

You can really say that I am among those who are so fortunate to have married someone who helps me with the housework even if I don't ask him to. We actually work like a team not only around the house but in everything that concerns our family.

uhm,i don't have a husband...so - no! lolZ!

Hi seanbryan, I feel that most husbands today share the housework with their wives, including the cooking, but there are always some who feel that it isn't there job. I agree that this should be the case especially when both work outside the home.If it's the wife's choice to be a homemaker and let her husband be the breadwinner, that a different matter, she should do most of the housework. Blessings.

hello there! i'm so lucky with my hubby because he really helps me with house chores all the time..he does the grocery most of the time and he does the cooking--we both love to cook and we're all gourmet eaters. really i'm so proud of my hubby because there were times when we don't have house helps that we have to wash our clothes together--we have 4 kids...

Hi Seanbryan, When we were newlymarried, we made a pact to share the houseworks, and indeed we did - I was incharge of the cleaning of the house and cooking, he preferred the laundry, cleaning the bathroom, and washing dishes. But he didn't tell me he has allergies from chemicals like detergents, dishwashing paste, etc. Then I noticed his hands developed rushes and eventually small wounds that get worse with every washing he did. So I told him to stop doing them. But I can't trust him with the other chores, he just can't do them the way I wanted them done. So I ended up doing everything myself.

My husband and I split the housework... we've both done all the tasks when we needed to. Usually, though, he does most of the dishes and I do most of the cooking... I'll organize the garbage/recycling and he'll bring it out... we both pitch in for laundry and groceries because we don't have a car and we have to go to the laundromat, so both those tasks require both of us to carry stuff. The general cleaning around the house usually gets split up fairly well, too, but that's just whoever gets to it first, really. When I get into a cleaning mood, he generally pitches in just because he's afraid I'll overwork myself, lol.

Nope, he is simply hopeless at housework, such as cleaning dishes, laundry and even moping the floor. He has helped me clean dishes before, and made such a mess that I had to wipe and dry the cleaning area. When he helped me mop the floor, he was like a fairy dancing with the mop. So I finally gave up on asking him to do housework. However there are some jobs that I am determined that he does - taking out the garbage, fixing lights & anything, and general maintenance. If not, he would have to pay someone do these jobs!

I do share my house work with my husband. I don't force him to do anything unless I am in a hurry or sick so that I can't do the work. He is good at cleaning compared to me. So, he takes care of sweeping and moping the whole house weekly once and he cleans the restroom. I help him in cleaning sometimes. I am good at cooking. So, I do most of the cooking and washing of vessels, but helps me sometimes especially on weekends and if he gets home earlier than me. He hates doing laundry. So, I do that most of the time. He hates ironing. So, I do that. He is good at planning and executing thigs properly so he does that. He is in charge of paying rent on time, paying electricity charge, ordering for water once is about to get over, ordering for gas when it is about to get over, collect the clothers from laundry person (heavy clothes we give out for laundry) and he does a lot of grocery shopping.

Oh my gosh!! I guess this is kinda of a trick question. Will explain. My husband is laid off and I am not able to work. I usually do all the housework except on those days that I don't feel best in the world. He will do dishes, sweep and cook some stuff if I am sick. Otherwise I am the main housekeeper in our home. If I am okay with my health then no he doesn't help. I guess he feels he has to enough when I am sick. Men you need to help it out. SMILE

My husband will share the housework with me . We often cook together and it seems funny to us . We feed our small boy together at night . We do share every housework as cleaning , dumping out the garbage, ding the laundy , ect. We won't have any complaints about the housework . The one who is free will do most of them. Well i feel lucky.

my husband would do the housework when he feels like doing it. the days i am unwell he will do cooking and washing but not cleaning or marketing. At times when he is having a nice mood he will prepare coffee. but it always depend on mood. when my child was born at that time he used to do a lot and i didn't have to remind him .But generally everyday chores he doesn't do. Te's not that he doesn't help but when he will help that you have to keep guessing.

My husband doesn't like to clean but occasion like when we fight he cleans as a way of making it up to me. He cooks and takes out the trash that's really about it, but he wouldn't pick up a single dog hair from the floor, but he doesn't have to, I usually take care of it all

With regards to housework i would say that i do around 70% and he does the remaining 30%, however we do split the household up and he tends to do the more "manly" jobs and that leaves me to do the cooking and cleaning. Sometimes on a Sunday we have a mad blitz too where we both just clean up. I find this wat works really well because we are working as a team.

hi seanbryan, housework/chore is always a shared responsibility for us. i am proud to say that my husband iron clothes better than i. he too helps me do the laundry and clean our room and the bathroom. he also cook but hates dishwashing especially the casseroles and pans. he loves to do market which i hate especially going to the wet market coz i really can't stand the smell. i am so lucky for having such a responsible and wondeful husband.

Household work should be equal to both partners. Its a husband and wife thing, chores should be divided among them according to capacity. A wife is the partner of the husband for life, not a slave or a maid. A husband should do the repair or fixing things at home, emptying the garbage, shopping for food and groceries and so on. We all know that husbands are the bread winner in the family but it doesn't mean that he has to make his wife a slave for him. I am still single but I will talk to my future husband that household work should be equal to us when we get married.

Guess I'm lucky! My husband and I take turn to cook on Sundays! He is so helpful with the house-hold works. I hate to keep track with my laundry..and he is good at it like washing and drying and I do the folding and ironing! He hates to mop and I hate to sweep so the days that I'm tired he'll help me to sweep and I'll happily mop the whole house! He is my best friend!!

Chores and tasks around the house generally should be 50/50. Being married is a partnership. You do things as a team. My husband and I do everything as a team. I cook, he cleans the kitchen, loads the dishwasher. He vacuums, I do laundry. You really have to work on the idea of a "team".

Hi there,.. I'm grateful that my hubb want to share the housework with me. Cause we dont hire the servant to take care the housework. My hubb often doing the laundry and sometimes cleaning the room too. Mine is cooking, bathe children,and ironing. So nice to be compact with my hubb.

hi seanbryan ........... i am a lasy hubby i cant remember that ever i have shared any thing with my wife any time...but had shared a thing that is.i often make some innovative dishes and serve to my wife...i got some mixed comment but all of there is good .....so for me its 50/50.........whats about you.............??

In my house, my mom do most of the housework, she is lovely to do it for her love child and husband. So I think we should combine our motion for family with all kind of housework, then it is not a hard period
