I always told myself that I don't want to turn into my mother when it comes to this aspect. she used to do everything around the house while my father would simply lay there watching television. what's even worse is that the raised my brother with the same opinion: his woman has to do everything around the house

I think it depends on the situation. If both husband and wife work, they should share the home chores. If the wife stays home, and the husband is out working full time then maybe the wife should do most of the house work.
It is always nice when our companions help out. My husband is retired so he helps me out around the house when he can. He cooks once a week too.

it's true what it's said that men are the best cooks?

@swissheart Well, my man certainly is a good cook. I do not know if all men are. Most men that I know do not cook anything. My brother is a good cook though. I am not use to men cooking though. My mom done all the cooking and baking when I was growing up.

YOur title is a question but it should be a statement. If there are two or more adults - or teenage kids - living in a home they all need to help out.

yes I think kids should also be involved in doing the chores around the house because this will teach them to be responsable adults

@AbbyGreenhill same here. my mother didn't ask me to do difficult things but I would have to take out the trash or the dusting

@swissheart Exactly. I had to do chores and did them until the day I got married, so it was good 'training'.

Ideally every member of the family should contribute to house work, depending upon his/her availability. Little contribution makes a lot of difference. If one person in a house keeps doing all the work, it could irritating and taxing for her.

@dpk262006 and should the woman clean the mess or wait for the man so that they could do the cleaning together

My hubby works full time but he does most of the cooking on the weekends. And cleaning the house is only part of the responsiblites at my house- there's other stuff like making sure the chickens and burro get fed and watered. He helps with that cause of that involves carrying heavy bags of feed.

You are lucky to get that kind of mother. Actually people are not with the same behavior. To do our own jobs and help others is correct in a family.
If this is not happening there need balancing act. So if Hus is lazy wife have to do the extra

I have the opinion that if a man loves you and respects you he will help you around the house. it's not easy for a woman to have a stressful job and still do everything around the house

@swissheart Ya sure in the side of an woman. But in the same manner in opposite side also. Mutual understanding is better.

My husband works 50 hours a week. He gets home from his job very late. Then on Saturdays he goes and works a 2nd job.
On the rare occasion that he is home i can't blame him for wanting some time to relax.
But he's also the messiest person in this house so I wish he would at least clean up after himself sometimes.

Unfortunately, that seems to be the stereotype. I don't believe in it though. I think both man and woman should share responsibilities in the house. They don't necessarily have to be shared equally, but one party shouldn't have to do everything. It just doesn't make sense.

yes indeed and as long both of them live under the same roof than they should share all the things to maintain the house clean

definitely. sadly many women raise their kids in the idea that the man shouldn't do anything

yes. I feel that a man who does that shows respect and appreciation towards his woman. after all we're just humans and we don't have the possibility to do everyhting
