Give your opition, Everyone!?

Question

Both husband and wife works, the husband pays 80% of the bills and all he ask his wife to do is wash, cook, clean, iron. Even though his wife work 5 days a week. Do you think in this day an age a Man should help his wife do the choirs?
Do you think he should get upset/ vex if his wife ask for help, may be to pack his cloths or to vacuum a room.
Tell me What is the role of a husband and the role of the wife.

Answer 1

It has NOTHING to do with the amount of $$ a person is making. If both people working 8 hours a day, both should do 50/50 of the housework. Period.

Answer 2

How much the husband pays towards the bills doesn't matter at all! Their his bills just as well. I hope he appreciates his wife bringing home a pay check . I don't think a husband should sit on his duff and expect his wife to do everything in the house. If he was ever to do even half of the work in the home that his wife does he would soon find out its not such an easy job. Maybe that's why he grumbles when he is asked to help out. I have two great nephew's that has the same idea and they got it from their dad. That this or that is a woman's job, but it doesn't work for them when their with me. There shouldn't be a question of whose role it is, the couple should be willing to help each other out the best they can.

Answer 3

The role of the wife is to cook, clean and make sure the kids are taught well and traditionally, if the wife has enough extra time, she should also get a job. The husband should definately provide the majority of the income for the family, the husband should also help with cooking and not be a pig around the house because that is the main job for the wife and you cant cancel eachothers work out.

Answer 4

LMAO well we have to do two things, ok first lets look at past and present and weigh em out,Divorce rate is so much higher now than they were back in the early 1900's to mid why? Personally I think it's bc women play men roles too often and ladies Im a woman but let me tell you in being both a working wife (1st marriage) stay home wife (2nd marriage) my first mariae was unhappy for more than just that reason but ill bet my working and expecting for him to do half of everything accredited very very much. Now this marriage my husband opted for me to stay home (if I wanted) and Ive enjoyed the whole marriage very much.I can't stress how much. And BELIEVE me everything is pretty much the same EXCEPT I don't work ok well being a full time house wife and Mom is plenty work BUT I dnt work outside the home u kno . No juggling time for us, no who's going to clean what, less arguing from one or the other being tired and not feeling like the other is giving enough so its a really hard question to answer. I think that alot of women have to work to make ends meet but you guys have to understand men arent ready for this, they are by far the most weak minded of the 2 genders (babies if u will) and Lord Ladies, they DONT do change well . SOOO its all in what your REALLY expect from your man , yeah there are some that love it that their wives work (mainly though they arent asked to do housework) and then theres the OTHER 90% and also we know that its not alot to ask to vacuum a room but to them its like asking for another day's work wit OUT pay LOL

Answer 5

It depends of yhis upbringing. Perhaps, he is very old school and he thinks that by bringing home the bacon he has done enough. That could be true back in the 60's when the wife's responsabilty was to be housekeepers, and cater to their husband and the children
Nowadays, women contribute to the household outside the home, and in most cases, it's required to have 2 incomes to keep financially afloat.
Unfortunatly, women are expected do both because is their "given role", but times have changed and we are human beings that also get tired coming back from work and would like a break sometimes.
Be sweet and tell him that you feel that is important for you to continue being productive by working, but sometimes the load is too much and would like his help. Housekeeping should be a team effort and not your sole responsability.
Good luck.

Answer 6

I believe that it shouldnt be a problem for the husband to help out around the house as well especially if there is children in the house. I believe that a relationship should be 50/50 and both work as a team. He might be pulling in more money for the bills but that doesnt mean if the woman is working fulltime out the house that she should do all the work inside the house. It is a new day and age and men should be pulling as much weight as a woman does in the home.

Answer 7

the husband is suppose to be the sole provider for the home but this day in time the wife has to help financially. The husband should help with the cleaning as best he can but since he is still the sole person doing the yard cleaning then he cant work a full time job, come home and clean the house and the yard. I stay home with my 2 kids and I do 100% house work and 100% yard work....gardening too. My husband works 67 hours a week sometimes so it is dark when he gets home. But when I worked he would help with house work too....so yeah I think men should help out...I mean he helped dirty it didnt he?

Answer 8

I believe what you are asking for is an opinion, not a option. My opinion is that marriage is a partnership and if the wife works outside of the home she should definitely expect to get help from her partner with the household chores even if he does pay 80% of the bills. A caring relationship takes others into consideration.

Answer 9

I think every relationship is going to be different. For instances I was married for 4 years to a man who did absolutely nothing in the house I did the cooking, cleaning, yard work, everything. But he paid all the bills, I just worked part time and some times not at all. And now I am in a relationship with a man who does almost everything. I also now work full time. So really I think in each relationship each partner needs to not expect anything but to compromise and be open on your feeling and ask for what you want. But be sure you can agree on who does what before you enter into something permanent.

Answer 10

well i know i am old fashioned but i think it is the wife that should do most of the choirs and to be done the way i want them done.. i think the man can carry out the trash and i think he can give her a break from cooking by barbecuing at least once a week.. maybe even order out another night of the week.....and as far as ironing goes... i think the woman should iron, i do not think a man could do it right anyway....and he is paying 80 percent of the bills and i sure would go for that deal...

Answer 11

So what he pays 80% of the bills ?? She only makes 50% of the laundry and dishes but she is expected to clean 100% of it ?? The role of the husband and wife should be to be equal 100%/100% partners in doing everything.
