What is is about most males being useless???

Dear friend, I had the same complaints years ago and talked about that with my husband. What he answered made me realise it was my fault that he seemed to be useless. We do a lot of things for them we should not do and we tell them they are not doing it right when they help out. My husband did not even bother to check that the house was properly locked before we went out for a weekend. Those were part of my arguments! He replied that he locked the house at first but then I would go and double check it to see if he had done it right . I apologised then because it was entirely true. Why did you have to hang a blanket if he was the one that wanted less light? Who do you pick up everything and take it to the wash basket? Why don´t you talk to him? I´m sure you did not marry him because he was dumb. So he must be a nice person with whom you can talk. Do it! Luck!

I am glad that you said "most" as I am not useless! In fact it is the opposite in our house. I am the one who always has things organised and clean up after myself. My wife, although she means well, is always losing things as she struggles to clean up after herself and seems to make twice as much mess as I do while performing the same task! This is most evident when you compare our desks and bedside tables. I think it comes down to personality types more than sexes when we are talking about basic organisational skills. There are 4 main personality types and each have their own good and bad qualities.

it's usually the hardcore mama's boy's that are like that.they're so used to having somebody pick up or do things for them,they see no reason to change. then they wonder why you leave because you're tired of being a second mom instead of a spouse/girlfriend.

My husband is normally a hard worker, both at work and at home, however he has his days where he just sits around the house driving me crazy. There is no happy medium with him. He either goes, goes, goes, or sits, sits, sits! Sometimes it drives me absolutely crazy. Today he is in working mode and has been non-stop working (on his day off) in the yard, playing with the car, cleaning out the attic and raking leaves, plus we still have some hours of daylight left. Tomorrow, he won't move from the t.v. set (football day). If I ask for any help at all, he won't budge...go figure!! After many years of marriage, and I still can't figure him out!

You know that though I will agree that most males are useless when it comes to house work, I will say that my husband is actually an exception to the rules. He is the one that insists that he does his own laundry because of the fact that he works in a machine shop and doesn't want to ruin anyone else's things with his work clothes. He does help with the dishes occasionally and honestly keeping the house clean is a family affair.

For me if they don't have a work.

The problem isn't with men, it's with gender roles! Think if all the useless females out there who can't write checks, can't shovel a driveway, and can't even drive because they have a MAN to do it? In sone cultures it's illegal fir a woman to be independent! In Saudi, a woman is not allowed to drive. I have some physical challenges that keep me from shoveling abd driving, but those challenges have nothing to do with my gender. I think the big question here is why do genders allow themselves to be dependent, because a certain task does not fall into their stupid stereotype? And yes I know I'm nit physically able to drive ir shovel because of my challenges, but I make up for it with my financial management skills, the fact that I can navigate public transit and pay for it without hubby's help, and a lot of other talents of mine that I'm not afraid to use. Hubby us also blind, so I couldn't rely on him to drive even if I wanted to, but that's ok!!! We do what we can to work together with what we have!

Aww u give him such a hard time :P I love my man in spite of his flaws.

My boyfriend's worse. He wouldn't just be lost without me but I don't know how to survive. All he knows how to make is cereal! He can't even make rice.. Nothing!
