If the man and woman both works, shouldn't they do the same amount of housework?


Additional Details
Why do some people disagree with that.

In theory.

My husband and I both work. He does all the outside, I do all the inside and care for the children.

He is at work long hours and in a very physical job. i may work long hours but I can do most of it from my computer at home, and flexibly.

I also prefer to just get in and do it myself because it is easier and I know I do it better an quicker.

I think each person has strengths and weaknesses. Each person may do different hours or a different kind of job( meaning more tiring etc). I think it is up to each individual couple to decide what works for them. 50-50 may not always be realistic. As long as both are making an effort not taking advantage of the other, they should do what works for them.

Absolutely, although I cook far better than my woman.

Do they both work the same amount of hours, and does one person's job involve more labour or stress than the other?


Jaimee
Yes , it's only fair to balance it out between them. If it is done where one does more than the other then this may cause arguments.

Yes togetherness means Sharing that includes housework,


juliettavirgo
Yes. But in reality, whether that actually happens or not is a different story.

If they both work roughly the same amount of hours, yes. If one works 70 hrs. a week while the other has just a part-time job, the one that is home more should do more of the housework.

they should be they never do, if my bf washes one load a clothes a year i feel lucky


but seriously...
It depends, each couple is different. My husband has his "chores" and I have mine. My list is quite a bit longer though. Reason being he makes way more money than I do so we agreed that he pays the bills (mortgage, electric, water, garbage, etc.) and I'll take care of the house.

Works for us.
