The amount of money the husband brings to the table should not be the governing factor of how much housework the husband should do. The question should be, does the wife work outside of the home about the same amount of hours as the husband? If so, the housework, yard work and running errands should be split 50 - 50, unless the couple agrees otherwise. If the wife is a homemaker, she should do 100% of the housework and running errands, unless the husband wants to help out more on the housework. Also, the best marriages combine their money and call it their money jointly instead of separating their income and bills, which always causes hard feelings and arguments like the one you are questioning.

I'm going to take a less popular stance and say "Yes" - in most cases. Unless there is a bluebird in the money situation, most likely the husband has a tougher and more stressful job. Does the wife put money away into the savings? Does she work?
There are other factors....is the husband also doing the outside work. That should count for something. Is she a Stay at Home Mom/Housewife? If so, then most definitely.
I'm also a little old-fashioned. I do believe housework is the wife's primary responsibility.

Depends on why he's paying 95% of the bills...
If he's doing it because you're too busy minding children then NO! Housework is the THIRD job that has to be done and should be divided.
Otherwise, that sounds about right!

My husband pays 100% of the bills. I do 100% of the housework/childcare/garden etc. That's fair. He's tired when he comes home and I don't expect him to help me. He does bring me a cup of tea in bed every morning though.
You might ask why I don't work? Because when I did work full time and paid half the bills, I still did all the housework and childcare and gardens! (He's a lovely man, really. We're happy most of the time.)

only enable him understand there is no way that what he's declaring is everywhere close to precise. if you're cleansing and searching after kiddos all day then it really isn't any longer conceivable. yet do shop in ideas he's operating all day to boot. you could not anticipate him to be operating all day and cleansing all nighttime because it could be an identical as you cleansing at nighttime alongside with all day. He must have small chores that he can do nightly after paintings. eliminating the rubbish is a sturdy one. yet there must be a pair different little issues too so that you do not ought to stress about each little thing. actually have youthful toddlers help with cleansing too, they prefer doing that type of stuff. i do not understand how previous they are yet in the experience that they are older than a three hundred and sixty 5 days, consisting of my daughter, she likes handing me clean dishes from the dishwasher. it really is coaching her skills and attraction of helps me so i do not ought to bend over a lot lol.

A relationship is a partnership. You work together. Perhaps you only want to give your with 5% of the food? Perhaps you should only see the kids 5% of the time, as she divotes 95% of her time to them? Why not get a cleaner if you earn so much!

of course not! just because he pays doesn't mean that the wife sits around the whole day twiddling her thumbs. there is no job that is as trying and frustrating as running a house. that is why most people refuse to do it. so after you pay the bills and get home, offer some help to that weary wife of yours, so that she is not too tired when you want to get close. that way no-one feels like the slave in the relationship.

Depends on family lifestyle, but if wife (or husband depending on country laws)) aknowledges his extreme contribution to household financially, and decides to allow him to do only a little bit of housework then so be it..

Every partnership is different, My partner and I both work and earn similar money we split the bills, I do all the cleaning and he sometimes cooks - unfair?? Nope I'm very particular about the way the cleaning is done and he never does it right and he does try oh also I work less hours it works for us.
