My husband helps to set the table and vacuuming, I am fine with that. I would not want him to do the cooking.

@Kandae11 He makes a mess and he does not clean after him. Pots, pans, spoons, dishes all over the place and I cook a lot better than he does.

Suppose he can cook very well. What then?

Be sure he stays out of the kitchen then.

When I worked my husband did all the chores while I was at work since I worked nights. I did all the chores while he worked during the days. We share the chores now that we are retired.

I don't think any chores would be a no-no really.

@Kandae11 Very definitely so. Even if you share chores there could always come a time when one of you were incapacitated and couldn't do anything.

Ideally, knowing to do everything - even if not perfectly - could only be good.

We've sort of fallen into the habit of each doing certain chores. And I do the laundry. I wouldn't want him to do it unless he was willing to read labels , and sort things properly. He certainly could.

@Kandae11 Actually, I had my own laundry disaster today. Something in a pocket discoloured items. Can't get it all out

@paigea Wow ! Certain items in pockets can result in disaster

It would be awful if he shrunk items and discolored others.

i am not yet there but i would like it to be shared equally and that having job or not isn't that important for chores.

I hope you will eventually have it just the way you want it , a way which is mutually beneficial to both of you.

If I were married, I’d be fine with my husband doing any chore, as long as he really knew how to do it. If he was only guessing when he did the laundry, I’d rather him leave it alone.

Even if he bungled a few, he will learn eventually l suppose. That is if he is truly committed to the task

If still married, he did the most cooking, which help a lot.

@Kandae11 My oldest son made a mess in the kitchen. We didn't alow him in it.

That would certainly help a lot. I recall knowing someone who got very annoyed everytime her husband tried out his culinary skills in the kitchen. Maybe he made a mess and didn't clean up afterwards.

I am lucky that my husband is always willing to lend a helping hand, but I just want to do the chores myself. He works hard all day and is stressed . . . I'd really rather he leave the house stuff to me.

@Kandae11 I am rarely sick that I cannot function, but you're right . . . I do love that he can help when I am not able to.

I agree with you, men generally are not that familiar with womens clothing and how some items require special care.

I agree. I'll handle my own laundry. He could mop and vacuum. But a friend was quite correct when she said men don't clean like a woman. Taking out the trash is always a good chore for a man to do
