I am starting to wonder if it is just me or do men just not want to help out with cooking, cleaning, laundry, the kids etc. Anyone else out there have the same problem? I feel like I do it all. Help!!!!!

I help around the house, but very, very rarely. So, I guess you are not alone.

When I was married my ex husband didnt help out around the house at all. I know how you are feeling. I got to the point I quit cleaning and he didnt like that much. He still didnt help out and I couldnt handle the house a big mess any longer. My boyfriend I live with now helps me out most of the time. We share in the cooking, and taking care of kids. He helps clean sometimes. Wish I knew what to do to help you.

My husband helps around the house and with the baby. I'm not sure what I would do if he didn't. Sometimes I get upset because my son wants my husband more than me. I'm truly sorry than you don't get any help.

I think men still see it as our job. My man and I had fights about this all the time. When I had a full time job I was coming home, cleaning, cooking, and taking care of the kids. He never lifted a figure to help unless it was to turn the channel on the TV. Then he always asked me why I was so tired and cranky all the time. That's just how they are. So, now I don't work so it's my job to keep the house up. Taught him to not help...now he has to go out a bust butt all day to pay for the bills. Maybe now he wishes he'd picked up alittle. LOL
