men say women should be cleaning whilst men go out and work, so.. i say if women want a clean house they will clean it and if men want a clean house they would clean it too, is there some stupid myth that a women must clean whilst the man was out working?. ok heres what i think, if a man was to come home and spot some rubbish on the floor would he wait till the woman picked it up or would he pick it up himself? i wanna hear ur views does it really matter about who cleans up? as long as ur home is clean then does it really matter? this is just in generall i just wanna hear ur views about it.

If both people are working than chores should be split. An agreement should be made. A woman should not be made to work full time and come home and clean, cook, etc. On the same note, if a man is working full-time he should not do anything either. Simply put, if both are working full-time then share the chores. If one is part-time and the other full time, then who ever is working part-time should do 2/3 of the chores, but still be shared. If one is full time and the other does not work, then that person should do 99.9% of the chores. However the person who works should be considerate and help their spouse out. After all, they do love the person right? Chores by the way, takes a lot longer than two hours. It takes all day to do the landscape, laundry, dishes, clean the rooms, etc. At least to do more than half-assing it ;) Just a thought. But like someone else said, every one has their own definition of "clean." Some people like the dust bunnies.

I would say if the woman is at home all day with no children, then she should have all the house hold chores done. IF on the other hand there is children that would be like a days work in it's own and the man should help when he comes home, at least spend as much time with the children to help with the bonding and to let the woman prepare the meal. I she works full time then they both should do there fair share if they both like a tidy home to live in.Me be I'm a bit old fashioned or something

If the woman wasn't working and the man was then definately the woman should be doing the majority of the work. At the moment I can't find a job and my partner works 10 hrs a day- why should he have to come home to clean and cook his own dinner if I've been sat on my bum all day. It's a partnership and we each bring our own abilities, strengths and weaknesses and must utilise these accordingly. However he knows full well that when I get a job it will be a much more equal division of labour and is even looking forward to getting back in the kitchen again!

If a couple are both working then it should be 50/50 housework, then again if a woman stays home looking after a family of children etc, she probably needs help too, men seem to think that bringing up children is easy (prove its not by leaving him with them for 24 hours - he will soon change his mind on that one) Finally if the woman is home alone, surely she would want the place to look nice, it really must be soul destroying if a guy comes home from work and the house is a mess, who would want to stay in that situation?

I would say that in general the condition of the home is more important to women than to men. Men see home as a place to chill and a background to life, while women see it as an integral part of life and the state of the house is very much a part of who they are. Because women often can't relax until the house is the way they like it, they tend to do more housework than men. Personally, once a man pulls his weight by doing his share of cooking, washing up etc. and not leaving laundry on the floor, I can live with him not being too plugged in to the state of the house. There is no tyrant as bad as a male neat freak as a partner.

If both the man and the woman work the chores should be split down the middle. Statisticaly and unfortunatly this is not usualy so. Men are taught by there parents and it amazes me how differently many parents raise boys and girls in this area. Girls are supposed to be clean and neat.....Blah, Blah, Blah. Whilst boys are allowed to be messy because after all "he's such a boy" or "you know how boys are". Even a stay at home mom with kids should have husbandly help while he is at home. He doesn't work an 18 hour day why should she.

Well, I can tell you one thing... If I'm out working 8 to 10 hours and the wife can't keep the house clean, then she needs to get her *** out and get a job so we can hire a maid.
Simple 2 hours a day to clean up, do some laundry or whatever is too much, then that means all she wants to do is sit around watching Opra and seeing who she can find to cheat on the marriage with.
Rediculous to expect the man to put in a full work week, then come home and take complete care of the house. Not sure where she'd expect the money for her favorite foods, car, insurance, gas money, etc to come from because it sure as hell wouldn't come from me.

My theory is that if you live in a house together then everyone has to work to keep the house clean, inside and out. Every married couple/roommates handle this differently but my experience has been that if I don't ask for help, he won't offer and neither will my daughters. There should be a fair division among everyone living in the home of all the work of taking care of wherever you live. Mothers and fathers need to teach their sons and their daughters all the jobs that are required to run a household.

My wife and i share the cleaning. any house is too big for just one person to clean up (particularly if the non-cleaner is a slob).
My wife does the bedroom and the kitchen.
My assignment is the living room (heavy lifting, u know) and the bathroom. We do overlap now and then, but luckily, we are alike in wanting to live in a neat place.
Frankly, i don't understand why some men won't help in tidying up the place.
Cleaning up is tiring and takes time but it actually feels very nice when my wife compliments (and rewards) my work.

Unfortunately if the house is a mess it looks bad on the woman not the man, is this fair, nope but people judge anyway.
I have a bad back and can't tidy, it has got so bad I am thinking of moving into a 1 bedroom flat. I live in a house with hubby, my son 19 and daughter 12.
They bring people into my home even knowing it stresses me out. I love them all but can't cope with people in my house when it is a mess.
I don't want a Mrs Bucket's house but mine looks more like Steptoe's at the moment.
AAAArrgggghhhhhhHHHHH
