I have a seizure disorder, so i can't drive. Therefore he does all the driving. I get irritated though because the only time he'll help around the house is if i ask. He'll pick our son up after band and choir performances, and he'll drive me to the grocery store. But man unless there's something he really wants to eat, he has no input. Him and our 2 sons are the same way. The trash can be so full it's falling out, the dishes can fill both sinks, but i end up taking care of all of it. I can't get help with the cats or the dogs. Now if i finally say hey this is too much i need help, i'll get it but it's like pulling teeth. I'm starting to think it's a male thing. Even when he didn't work and i did, i was still stuck doing all of it. unless i said hey while i'm at work could you get the dishes. It's a never ending circle that i've given up on.

Speaking as the husband, not as much as I should. I probably do around 15-20% of the work around the home...but part of that is the fact that I work and she doesn't, and part of it is our different tolerances for messes. She's also a perfectionist, and I've been told that my way of making the bed isn't good enough!

That said, I realize that I don't help out enough, and whenever she asks me to do something in particular I try to do it right away. I know I should do things without being asked, but it's easy to totally forget it. I mean...the house is so much neater than my bachelor apartment ever was! I clean up when things get to my level of 'mess', but that seems to be her level of 'divorce'.

When our children were younger we shared everything. We both worked, we both mowed the lawn, did the dishes, fixed dinners, bathed the children, read stories, cleaned the house did the laundry. We just did it together which freed up so much time to spend together as a family unit.

men should work pay the bills do the lawn and outside and handy work... women should clean and take care of kids... thats the way i feel then when the kids are older the women can go get a job and get a fun job and live her life... that is how my family is.

I didn't get any help from him. He felt that his job was to go out and work and the rest of it was my department.
Totally involved in the T.V. and nothing with family .
Go figure. I tried and asked him many times to include himself in the family life he separated from family life never contributed.

Sorry I wish I could have given you better news.

Chattylad...Has got it right. That's the way it should be for every person that shares a household, married or not. If everyone pulled their own weight there wouldn't be so much resentment in people's relationships.

some men love to help their wifes and some don't
men like to be lazy and not do anything
and some men love to get up and do what their wifes tell to do

over all i think men will help out about 40% if they are lazy
70% if they really love you
