do your husband help you in your household chores?

I really dont think household chores are for women only. Men must have their share of work. I feel very jealous of women whose husbands help out in their household chores. My husband just does'nt touch anything, anything at all.:(. I always wish that he would change. My father was just the opposite! He would help out my mom in anything that she did. It was usually my papa who used to do the cooking and take care of us and he never even allowed my mom to do his laundry. My mom, a retired teacher, led a hard life because my late eldest sister was not normal and my mom even had to bathe her, spoonfeed her and do everything for her. She was just like a baby. mom had to take care of her for 21 years. My mom is so lucky to have had such an understanding and loving husband. I always wished my husband would be one such. But alas! he turned out to be just the opposite. I do everything for him, do all the household work, of course, now we have a helper, but one is not enough as I am a working mother, but i dont think I can afford to have another. Sometimes I am so frustrated because he does not help me at all and doesnt appreciate anything that I do for him. But I dont really blame him. Its the way hes brought up. They were not allowed to do anything at all by their mom even though they were not that well to do. Well my mother in law is a nice person but I sometimes really hate her for not being able to raise her children up properly.I think all these things depends on parents and how they bring up their children. So as parents we should all cultivate work culture in our children.

hello bluerain, hmmm...let me think... okay, when we are just starting to live together as husband & wife, we do share in doing the household chores. well because that time i am still working and his work don't require much time and so he's the one who do most of the things in the house coz i am on my work for almost the whole day. but now, everything have changed, i am no longer working and he's the one now who's very busy with his work and so i am the one now who do everything in the house. does he helped me? nah...maybe just once in a blue moon! haha he do wash the dishes sometimes but just sometimes. he do help in fixing some things in the house, doing the things that i can't do as a woman. its tiring to do all the things in the house and i am already very happy when he helped me even for some time. even if i wish that he could help me more, i just cant ask him to do so for i know that his work and what he's doing is more tiring than what i am doing. hehe so its enough for me that he sometimes accompany me in going to the grocery and carry things for me. and its a consolation that even if he don't help me much in doing the household chores, atleast he give me a massage when he saw that i am tired from day of work. anyway, he's also very considerate not forcing me to do the household chores. he just let me do what i want to do, when i want to do. its fine atleast we do have understanding on things in the house.

Yes! He does help me with household chores. He washes the dishes sometimes and do the laundry every week. I think its a very good thing that he is helping me but sometimes I just want him to do more. Like tomorrow, I will be doing a lot of things but he wants to go out with this friends. I think that is so inconsiderate.

Whenever my husband is in the house, he always helps in all the household chores and also in taking care of my baby. I am just lucky to have him and help me in everything. Because some men I know, they don't want to do household chores because it seems that it makes them less of a man. Anyways, my husband would only be here with us for after every two weeks and would just stay here only for two days because of the nature of his job. That's why, he makes it a point that during his stay here, he would do everything to make my responsibilities here very easy for me or sometimes he would do everything and I will just relax for two days. Good thing is that he does not feel embarrassed even if other people can see that he is doing everything in the house.

I am a housewife and it is me who does even the smallest work at home. My husband used to cook and help me in the housework when we were newlyweds. That slowly became less and less as he got promoted and started taking more responsibilities at office. He works from home too and that does not leave him much time to do other things. I do have a hired help now, but still I find it difficult because of my small kid. I do not expect him to help all the time or everyday, but once in a while would be nice.

Yes, my husband does more than his share of the household chores, as well as yard work. The problem sometimes is that he doesn't do them the way I would, or as fast as I would, and sometimes I become overly critical or just tell him I would prefer to do them myself. However, in moments of clarity, I realize this is not a good approach for either of us, so lately I have been making a conscious effort not to be so critical. I don't always succeed, but I do notice that when I am less critical, he is willing to do more (and do it quicker, too!)

I'm a plain housewife and we have a son. I do the household chores but my husband doesn't mind if he does some of the household chores. It doesn't make him a less of a man doing what wives should do. I'm very lucky to have a husband like him. :)

It is unfair for wife to do the housework alone. Today some women also have to work, and it is so tiring for them to do all the housework when they are home. The family belongs to couples, so they have to share the housework. My husband will help me to do some housework and this is the common sense in my opinion. I love China

Why should just the woman do the household chores if both man and woman are working outside home? It is not helping the wife, he is doing things for their common household just as she.

Hi, My husband do help me up on housechores,not always but once a while.But everyday he will be doing the laundry for me(dump the clothes into the washing machine) and I prefer I dried them out. Sometimes, he will help me to mop our bedroom floor. Since I am a full-time housewife, I am doing most of the housechores.But when I am sick,then my husband will take over some of my job. I am glad that I have a caring and lovely husband. As long as He is giving me a good life and we have a happy family,it is more than enough for me.

This question is often I considerd,sometimes I complained my husband who does not to help me do household chores.Why I am so busy do household chores? I felt very angry when I cleaned, washing, cooking in the kitchen, however he is reading in the house without any help. It's not unfair, why he can see me so busy? I think household chores are not women's patent, if men aren't busy, I think they should help wife do household chores. It's a family, women are not nurse.

My husband definitely helped with the chores. Before we had children, we take turns cooking and washing dishes....and if I don't have time, he will do the laundry as well. I don't want him to do the mopping up and sweeping as he really doesn't do it well and don't care enough....so even if he did it, I always have to do it again anyway. He has no problem helping me out.

yes he does!i am the one who is in-charge i do the laundry the clothes stuff like ironing putting it on the cabinet, he go to the market and cooks for us..

I keep the house tidy. My husband is responsible for those tech things and all those things I do not like to do. He fixes the house and does most of the hard work.
