Im sorry if I offend anyone but this is MY opinion...If you are a stay at home mom you should not expect your husband to help you out around the house.Thats your job!! He works 40 or more hours a week to pay your rent,the least you can do is clean and take care of the children.If he volunteers to help ...TAKE IT!!! Tell me what you think!!!

I agree with you. I don't even like it if my husband make his own snack.....it shouldn't bug me but it does. HOWEVER, there are certain things that a man should be able to do for himself, like use the laundry basket when changeing his clothes. My husband cannot or refuses to grasp the concept of the laundry basket and to be hinest it gets on my nervers, its my job to wash, dry, iron, and put away the clothes but I think he should be able to put the in the laundry basket. I have tried moveing the laundry bakset to the area where he usually throw his clothes in the floor, but he still just throws them ont he floor somewhere else......sign.....but what can you do? Anyway there is certain work associated with the house that I consider to be man's work, therefore my husband's responsibility, taking the garbage out, mowing the lawn, splitting the fire wood, and anything that involves power tools. Some women might do these things, but I don't, I am 5 feet tall and about 100 lbs so I can't safely operate power tools, I can't split wood, and I am afraid of the lawn mower, I do what everything I can though, I pile the wood after he splits it. So those are the things around the house that I believe a man still has to do even if he has a housewife, but I do all the regular house work.

I am a SAHM & a full-time student! SO, I guess my answer is different. I think he should help out!! It's like i have three jobs. And it shouldn't be just you, give your kids chores to. If you think it's your job then you are entitled to paid vacation and lunch break and coffee breaks. During these "breaks" that when your husband or family should take-over! You need to take care of yourself first to take care of others better.
good discussion!

thats complete and utter crap because they are his kids too...the word father rings a bell..he has to take care of his kids too..true he earns the bacon but the kids should know that they can count on their father for something..what if the mom wasnt there and they had to rely on their father? would he not take care of them? housework might be mine but he shouldnbt make me his slave thats not part of the job description
