Does your husband help in your household work???

Hi, honeymalen. Me and my husband just rented our new apartment three weeks ago so there's not much work to do around the house. We do not also have much things yet that's why everything's all in the right place still. :) Since my husband is working and I stay at home, I do the most of the household like doing the laundry, cooking, washing the dishes and cleaning the house. But my husband helps me with those when he notices me getting tired. We talked over about these things and good thing we have agreed on it. My husband's been very helpful to me. Thank God! :) Cheers!

I don't have a wife or mother. I do all the cleaning, cooking, washing, everything.

he does. but it's not considered helping me. it's as much his task as mine to keep the house nice.

I am a working mother.... I think I should say I am very lucky regarding this... I have a very caring and loving husband, he does half of the household chores for me... he likes cooking, so sometimes he even cooks, he can easily take care of my kids when Iam not around, or even when I am too tired to lift my finger. He will understand my mood and I his and we will act accordingly, its been so long in our marriage that we dont even have to voice it.... but the other will understand it... I should thank God to be blessed with such a thoughtful better half..

I guess it's a good thing that my husband helps in the household chores. While mostly it's me, sometimes he helps out in washing our baby's feeding bottles and the dishes. He helps me clean the room sometimes. But when it comes to taking care of the baby, I do more than he does. We both have day jobs and we know that at the end of the day, we're both tired so we agree to help each other out.

Hi friend... may i comment? Well without your permission....I would but alas i have no wife.... have a nice day.

I am not yet married, but this is one of the things that we've talked about. My dad and brothers never help out in the housework. They were brought up thinking that the men put meat on the table and the girls are the ones to cook and do the household chores. Unfortunately for me, I am the only daughter in the family and with that mindset, I'm in for a lot of obligations. Which is why my partner and I talk about it. In the few times that we're together, I have seen him as someone who's independent. He washes the dishes, cooks, does the laundry and such because he works and lives in a place where it's difficult to hire other people to do it for you, not to mention the cost. Every time we are together, I could sense that he understands the value of teamwork, even in household things. Whenever he's here, he would help me with whatever I need help with and does things without need for demand. I know that he's not just showing off because whenever we're both tired, he wouldn't hesitate to get up to get some water or something for me. I just hope that when we're finally married, he wouldn't change this character. Further, I don't have plans to make him do all the household chores as well. I well know my obligations as a wife and a homemaker. Doesn't mean that I won't take careers as well, but rest assured that career won't be a priority. Afterall, it's the man's job to bring the bacon. Have a great MyLot experience!

hi honeymalen when we had two babies in 11 months my hubby did help with almost everything but the dishes. He loved to cook and was a professional cook and a gardener too. but the dishes were always my job but when he had worked all day and still made our dinner oh my G no I did not complain at all. He also helped put the babies od bed. He read to our little girl I read to our son.My son is now 52 so you can see I am up there in years now too. Ihope your hubby could be persuaded to just lend a hand occasionally as now days men do not think this is wrong at all. they are helpmates.

My husband certainly does help with work around the house. We both do chores and clean the house and such. It's just the sort of thing that he does without me really asking him. That's certainly something that I'm glad he does, otherwise I don't think anything would get done.

Mine does not even help on occasion. I honestly think that the whole women do the house thing is over rated and I think then men should take part In it as well.

Hi honeymalen, Whenever my hubby is at home and that's during the weekend he helps me out with all my chores. He helps me do the laundry,he washes the car and bathe our dog. I cook and keep the house tidy and then we take a break together either by watching dvd or go malling. I don't quarrel or argue with him...I just made a point that I need a pair of hands around the house because it never runs out of things to do. My hubby understands that and he feels guilty when he just sits at home while I'm, working and afterwards my back begins to ache.

Of course i would want my husband to help out in household work. It's a show of his love for me, pamper me when he sees me tired out from those work at home. I do understand how hard man are working at there, and wants to relax in the comfort of their home. I won't force or go into agreement that he must help me. I will hint to him, it's my wish if he's able to help me in whatever way he can.

Well my husband helps me when he is mood to help. If he notices i have lot of work then he will help me by washing the dishes or doing the cooking for the day. Most of the time i have to tell him to pitch in but i guess that's the way most husbands are :)

I think sometimes husband should help their wives in household work but not most of the times because its not their job as they work very hard to earn money and therefore they must get time to relax after they come from the office or work.

I am glad that my husband can help me to do some housework. We both have to go to work in the daylight. So it is fair that we will share the housework. Such as we will wash the dishes in turn. And we will check our child's homework everyday. Here I think most men still want to help in housework because it will be so tiring for the wife to finish it all by herself. So it is common to see that men will do housework here. For example, if husband goes home earlier, then he can cook. I love China

I am a guy and I am single. But in my family, my father actually DOES the housework, and my mother HELPS him. Me and my brother we help with everything too. There are days only I cook for the whole family, or I do the housecleaning because my father couldn't do or wasn't here. Me and my brother learned to cook at around 13 years old and ever since we have offered valuable help. I am sure when I get married I will help much with the housework and especially cooking, which I consider to be a hobby and I have fun doing it. Have a good day!

Well, we (my husband , daughter and i ) live with our in-laws since they get retired. Their son works in a far place on weekdays and it's only on week ends that he is with us, so they do really need our (my husband and i only since our daughter comes homes only on school vacations) company. Since my husband and i works all day, when we arrive home the food is ready. I help in clearing up the tables and washing the dishes. My husband helps in feeding the 6 dogs and is the one who see to it that all windows and doors are locked when we go to our respective rooms to rest and sleep. My husband and i shares in the household chores on weekends too. I am proud of my husband because he shares in doing the chores at home, except the laundry and ironing, which the laundry woman does on weekends.

Well, I don't have a husband yet but my boyfriend helps do house chores in their house. He cooks, wash clothes, clean the house, and repair things that needs to be repaired. I'm proud that he knows such things even if his friends sometimes tease him, hahaha!

I help but in all Leave more mess than i found. I don't know why but whenever I offer to cook for my family I ted like disorganize everything in the kitchen

My husband doesn't help with chores around the house at all. It's too much of a pain to keep bugging him to help so I just do it all. It's more peaceful that way.
