Oh I don't think you should, definitely not - I bet you have been hard at it all week in work haven't you? I bet your wife has just been sat every day watching daytime TV while the kids are at school hasn't she?
I bet you work far harder than your wife, your kids and everyone else in this world to put a roof over their heads and food in their bellies.
No, I definitely think washing up is not for you, you put your feet up the rest of the weekend and let your wife run round after you and the kids, and next week when she runs off with the milkman you'll see how easy her life is.............

Does she work? Do you? You feel outside work is your job and inside work is your wife's job...correct? Well, she washes the dishes how many times a day? Every day, day in and day out...you mow the lawn, take out the trash how many times a day? Just make up a chore chart. You wash the dishes, do the laundry and give her a total day off from the kids (if you have any...I assume because your "the Dad"), chores and let her do anything she wants. Take in a movie or something. Once a month. She should do the same for you. On your day off from work, no kids, no chores just do what you want to do. Then make sure you and she go out twice a week to spend quiet time just the two of you. Even if its a few hours watching a video while the kids sleep. Just work it out and stop arguing. I'm sure if you both sat down and talked and listened to each other, work together to make a chore chart you will both do fine. Good luck and remember a successful marriage is hard work and A LOT of give and take...just remember to give more than take..

Do you or don't you want to have a happy marriage and wife? I know many couples and have over the years noticed the more things are shared the more content the couples were.
If you think she is the house cleaner and you bring in the money then you might as well stand on the top of your roof and bang on your chest. Sounds silly? Regardless if your wife is working or a stay at home wife and mom, share some of the work. Believe me you will reap the rewards in many different ways. Show your wife that you care enough to help her. Housework is hard and boring work, pick up the clutter and help her out. Happy wife=happy husband.

If you have a job that requires you work long hours and your wife/girlfriend is at home, then I guess it's fair to expect her to do more housework than you. But if she has a job, and you share the breadwinning, it's only fair to share housework too.
Washing is washing - there's no essential difference between washing a car and washing a frying pan. There's nothing unmanly about washing (try not to wear an apron with frilly knickerbockers emblazoned on the front).

well I'm the mom of the house and wonder why I have to do all the washing up all of the time when there are 2 other people who have eaten, used cups/glasses etc. When I cook, I wash up the cooking stuff and the all the plates/cutlery etc...if my husband cooks, thats all he does do...cook...know I shud be grateful that he even cooks but all the mess he leaves takes the shine off it all. I don't think it is anyones 'job' to wash up...think we should all do our fare share but thats probably cos I have to do it all of the time!!

wrong, because at the end of the day she needs a hand as well, its not easy looking after the house and the kids, you finish work and have a rest she will carry on doing her continuouse jobs untill the kids are 12+, come on mate its only a few dishes help her out, and no she deserves time of as well, try and understand

why not? what makes u better than her ? it's not a degrating chore, it's simple, its not like u have to hand wash her, she is not ur servant and u should treat her like an equal, a mother and wife gets tired of being everyones little servant, cut her some slack and help her from time to time, she will greatly appreciate it, other wise shes gonna hold it against u that u never helped around the house, it's simple and it might help ur relationship, It's not just a wife's chore to do that, get off ur lazy *** and give her a break!

I personally think you are wrong. Women Norman says: deserve a little bit of help. the more you help the more effort she'll put in when you are in the bedroom. So think again my dear friend and look at what you are missing!!
Ralf says: Us gay men always do the washing up it is very manly job indeed. It is also very sexy too!

Sorry honey, if you're eating, you're contributing to the mess. Most likely you learned this attitude from your own dad, and your mum just accepted it. Modern women have moved on. If you offer to wash the dishes, your partner will see it as a way that you are showing you that you care about her. Try it! She may then be more generous with you.
