I dont have a job, my hubby works 2 weeks out of the month, how do i get him to do things when he's home?

Answer 1

Unlike some retards on here such as heavenlyhotchild, randy l, jessica, etc, I don't think that because you don't have a job and you're home that you must do everything in the house. I don't believe in that BS. I am at home during the summer as I get 2 months off and my fiance doesn't expect me to get things done by myself. Between him and I , I bring home more bacon, but that's not the issue. If you want him to do something, you should tell him. You are his wife, not his servant/maid.

Good luck with that though... I don't think that any couple should depend on the "at home" individual to do every single thing.

Answer 2

I guess I must be different than everybody else on here to a degree. I mean I do think that if both people work out side the home, both should share the work at home as well. But here is where I am different than the rest. Instead of trying to explain what I am talking about, here is the way it was when I was growing up.

When I was little, dad worked outside the home at his job, while mom stayed home with the kids. She never had a "job" working for someone else. She would do the house work while dad was at work and did some yard work as well. She would have supper waiting on dad when he got home from work. We would eat and have a talk about the days events and so on and so forth. Then after the dishes and every thing was done, we all went outside and worked more and that included dad as well, as there were things that needed to be done that mom couldn't do.

Just because one of a couple does not work outside the home, does not mean they don't "work" at home. Just because they don't bring home a pay check, doesn't mean they don't work. If the one that stays at home got paid for what they did, that check would be more than what you would get if you worked for some one for pay.

I think I would back off on some of the stuff that you do..do for him. Like his laundry, he could do that while he is off and he could help you with the meals while he is off. Mow the lawn.

That is just the way I am!!!

Answer 3

If your lazy rear end isn't working you should be doing the role of housewife which is doing EVERYTHING that has to do with the home. If you want him to help out go out and get a job like the rest of us.

Answer 4

In my opinion it's the wife's job to cook and clean if she CHOOSES to stay home rather than work. I think you should put more effort into being a housewife and then possibly talking to him about putting in more hours at work. Otherwise...you start working before asking him for help with housework. It's called TEAMWORK people!!

Answer 5

get a job the 2 weeks he is home and he will have to help...

Answer 6

Good luck with that, and if you find out how to accomplish this, I'll bet alot of women would like to know the answer!

My husband does home repair and remodeling...but just let something break at home and he is useless. It seems like, if he's not getting paid to do it, it isn't worth his time!

Answer 7

You get a job for the two weeks he doesn't and he'll have to do things when he's home because you're not there!!!!

Answer 8

Why should he do things when you don't work outside the home at all? I believe if you both work, you both share the housework. If only one works, the other one takes care of the housework.

Answer 9

go out and get a job then have him stand up and be a man and get a real job dont be lazy work for what you want

Answer 10

Get a job and tell him your doing everything 50/50.
