Wives: Do you have a problem with how much work your husband does around the house?

how less he does it is more like it

Nope.

I stay home and he works outside the home. I do all of the cleaning, cooking and caretaking of him and the children. He takes care of the household maintenance, lawn care, car repair, and caretaking of me and the children. Even tho we don't split every chore 50/50 it still evens out.

No my husband is a great help and he does a wonderful job cleaning the bathrooms.

I am sure my wife would like for me to do more! I try my best to help but I can do better.

That being said, ANYTHING my wife asks me to do I DO IT! ! ! What makes me mad is when she thinks I "should know what to do"! ! ! My mind doesn't work like hers and if she wants me to do something all she needs to do is ask! ! ! If she waits for me to figure it out it will take forever! ! !

OK, as a man, I'm going to butt in: my wife says that most american women (I'm american, she's not, we live in New England) are lazy. I never would have said that (out loud), but she's right, at least among my friends. Generally, my married friends have a dynamic where the husband provides a majority of the income, work longer hours, and yet do more than half of the housework and maintenance around the house. That doesn't seem fair to me, or my wife. I work longer hours, but she busts her butt taking care of her job, our kids and home- I'd say we put equal effort into our lives, and the end result is that neither of us have those lingering resentments that burst out every now and again from our friends.

yeah there are hundreds of things I would like done and he does work on them, but he also brings home good money from his job and works hard to support us. So knowing this keeps me from getting upset about what does and doesn't get done when I (key word I) feel like it should be done.

NO, During the first year of our marriage I made it clear I was his wife not his maid and he started doing his fair share. He has been an equal partner for 38 years now.

No, because I knew when I married him that he was not the "Mr. Fix It" type so I didn't have an unrealistic expectation. Also if i want him to do something I ask and if doesn't get around to it in the time frame I like I do it myself or I give him the look and it gets done. :-)

My husband doesn't do really any work around the house. I knew that before we married. We hired someone to clean, because it simply isn't fair for me to work full time, then come home to clean, while he gets to come home after work and not clean. It works for us...

my man did it all...but i was stupid and left

point-blank

I would rather do it myself cause I know it will be done right the first time.

No, he does what I ask of him.

The Mrs.

Yes, it's led to quite a few arguments BUT he is making an effort to help out a little more so I appreciate it :-)
