Do men have to share the household works?

Yeah, Few men have changed, but there are a lot more who wouldn't accept helping out their women as their responsibility. I mean when a women shows her responsibility towards the financial security of a family and shares the responsibility, it wouldn't hurt a man to help her out in the household responsibilities.

It's really an easy one to answer sweetie. Men can help with the household chores. They won't break a nail or something, i hope. It is only more than fair. If both work, both should handle and share the chores. TATA.

These days a lot more men are involved in household chores and child caring and so they should be, especially if the woman is working as well! If there is not a fair division of labour in the house there will eventually be a lot of the resentment from the overworked partner which is usually the woman. Nothing will make a person feel more unloved and uncared for than being overworked with no sign of appreciation. Thank goodness times have changed a bit although, in my opinion not enough!

Ofcourse, you are reasonable vijayanths. Indeed in these circumstances, men also should share some work and relieve the woman from being over burdened and fall sick earlier. I see so many women are aniemic or sick in so many ways due to this onus and lack of time to take care of themselves.

Hi anna, yes my husband will help me in all the work. If both will share in work that house will be a happy one.

Yes, yes, yes. Some Asian men still think they are the boss.

whoever lives in the house contributes to looking after the house. the shape of your genitals doesn't dictate what jobs in the house you should be doing.

AS far as I am concerned, I think it will be OK for me to share the household with my girl friend. As men should take some responsibility to ptotect our wonmen. So I think I will be ready to share some household with my girl friend ,and do some help to her. Let her have a good rest and live a happy life.

c'mon in countries like India and many others there is always the MCP. However, what you say is about change in the attitude and thinking of man is more true in cities where there is knowledge and work-load. In modern days, nuclear families, growth in the education level and the competition to earn more... makes us re-think and CHANGE. I am not that MCP sort of guy. I love my wife and feel that we both have a life together. The first step in making a marriage success is sharing... and when we think to share I believe we should share everything - including the work load. I feel happy when I do some cooking not just to surprise my wife but also help her do all other work. Unfortunately, this is not true in a major part of India and people (males) still are the way as they were ages back. We are too far from liberalization forget the women's lib.

I wish I could get my boyfreind to help me with the household chores. We went to visit his dad and stepmom, and they have a really nice and clean house. His stepmom is a manager in a convenience store and his dad works for a farm company. And, I asked her how she found time to keep the house clean. And she told me both her and husband do household chores to keep it looking the way it is. I just wished some of that thinking rubbed off on his son...lol

I think men are evolving! I am a stay at home mom and on the weekends, my husband will still help out around the house! AND...he is a much better cook than I am! Men are changing...for the better!

HI vijayanths.... this is a nice discussion that you have started. my opinion is that all egos, male dominance had become old now a days. today men are giving equal importance to women. they share the household works too. in some family men used to look after household works and women used to earn, but they make a best living out of it. Men should share household works which will lead to a happy life.

Simple my friend...do you like the way some countries treat their women...like Taliban in Afghanistan ? Rather join in and do the daily household chores than live in a fictitious fantasy that "that is below my dignity"..I wouldn't mind even dish washing if it helps her...

you are right dude. even if the woman is not the earning part, it doesn't matter, as if, at the end of the day she is taking care of your home, family kids etc. ego does not pay at all.

hi vijayanths! well i guess men should share household works too. it won't take their manly gestures away from them if they help out in our homes right? with me, i find it cool and added factor for men who knows how to help around the house. i can consider it macho for a man who does household chores. it would be a sweet thing if a man does something for their love ones right?

yeah i would to share the house work with my wife. i do 90% of all house work then my wife. i always pitch in with the house work since i was married.

I do not work as i am unable to work and never will be able to work again due to not being well.My husband works every day and he has to still come home and cook the dinner aswell as house hold chores,so he has todo both.I used to work and so did he and i was the one that was doing both,the house work aswell as working nights and bringing up the children.

I'm just wondering about you. Being an Asian, you have a broad understanding about women. Yes it's really unfair for us women; coming home from the job, our husbands just crouched in the sofa and don't even mind to wash the dishes. I'm a Filipina and well I could say that most of the time my husband does not have a penchant to help me with the household chores. Sometimes it irritates me but because he belongs to the culture of men who refuses to embrace the new generation of women, or let's just say making it an alibi because they're lazy. It's really hard for me because I wanted to work and to have a career but I'm anxious about the household chores because nobody in my home wanted to pitch in.

For me, Yes. Men have to share with the household works. This is because, woman needs help. It does not necessarily mean that when you're a mother in the family you will have to punish your self doing all the house hold chores after your work. House hold works should be divided so that responsibility among the family member will be shared. Its best for the children to be exposed in this kind of shared house hold works so that they will know the meaning of responsibility inside the home. Good night!

A lot has changed over the years which includes seeing men working chores in the house :) I salute the modern men. They are more practical and open minded. My brothers help out at home and are most of the time better than I am specially when it comes to cooking or kitchen works. But there are still some that are so into being a "macho" or man of the house, and won't even wash their own coffee cups or pick up their dirty clothes :(
