Pinky, yeah they should... BUT...
Do you know what happens? Men are usually spoiled by their parents and especially by their mums. Let’s be honest, most parents are filled with extreme happiness when a boy is born and although modern people will deny it, they are less happy with the birth of a girl... traditions are like that... and hopefully change in the future....
Well, boys don’t need to help in the household (Normally, I know that there are exceptions) and they are served like little kings by their mum and sisters...
Do you think that their mind and point of view of WHO has to cope with the whole staff at home when he’s once a married man will change?? I doubt it very, very much.
You’re lucky, the young generation is not as traditional as mine was. (I’m 34).
Anyway, before wives didn’t work or make a career, they simply married and stayed at home to care for her husband and raise the children (which is hard work and men always forget!!)
Nowadays women don’t quit their jobs so easily and there are many women who have studied a career and earn high wages.
These women are working like men each day and earn a good money. Doing their job they are treated just like men... that’s good, that’s a fantastic progress in society.
BUT men didn’t realize (most of them) that there has to happen also a progress at home. They still expect from their wives (after a hard working day) to be treated like a king at home. Women are still regarded as servants of their husbands in most marriages and relationships.
Yes, for many women it’s a burden to be born a woman... they work 3 times as hard as men: Job - household - children.
What they must do is try to change things, show and teach their sons that they have to cooperate in the household. Teach them that there must be equal rights for everybody.
I got married more than 10 years ago, but I lived with my husband for 1 year together before we married.
6 years ago we adopted a girl because we can’t have children on our own.
We live in Spain and met also here.
We do both work and earn good money now, so we can afford somebody cleaning the house and doing the ironing.
But the rest is half - half. 50% for him and 50% for me...
He does the cooking and kitchen stuff and I’m doing the washing and clearing up. (By the way I’m a terrible cook, always been... my mother was so desperate with me...)
Our daughter is not any "duty", we both care for her in the same way...

Now, now, I don't know where this question is coming from, but the answer to it is a BIG YES. Certainly, the guy must help the gal in running the house.
However, the amount of contribution should be around 50% only. If the guy is working and gal is at home, then gal should do bulk of the work but guy should help a bit. On the other hand, if both are working, then household tasks are to be equally divided.
Of course, the right partner is essential also for this to work...

I think that everyone should pitch in and help around the house. Men can do chores just as well as women can and it should be a team effort.
A good way to decide who can do what is to make a list of all the "chores" around the house and then divide them up. Or you could take turns with chores or compromise, like say if one person cooks dinner that night the other person has to do the dishes.
Either way there are definitely chores around the house that men can do. This isn't the dark ages.

Now a days rule of approximately 50-50 applies. Again approximately, was the rule of the house.
In a good loving relationship it should be automatic, if you have to keep the books then it is not healthy relationship.
Also who has most time, who is good at it, who is more comfortable with it, skills, health, standards.... all things come in to play.
Our children did their laundry, after age 6-8, once or twice they said I have nothing to ware and that is it. I showed them how to couple of times and reminded them from time to time. We had laundry room for wk ends and they had one day each rest was open to all. They had other things to do, pick up after then after age 5, toys as soon as one fell down because we Ware not able to pick up his/her toy (around 3 years). Room inspections were very rear, but tucking at night or a glance before bed time were use to keep a check on it all.
Children were broken in slowly. If they had home work or had to go and had no time we helped out with their chore or they made their deals but no fights were allowed over the deals they made.
Light and stuff like tat were check and turned off and reminded, energy conservation was the rule use as you need where you need no hast or west. For safety night light were provided with auto on and auto shutoff.

I think a guy is way more attractive when he helps out with household activities but that doesn't always happen!
Funny thing...an old boyfriend from my HS years (I'm old now) told me that on a recent ski trip with only guys "it's weird nothing gets done around here if there aren't any girls around...everything's a mess & no one cooks...I had to do everything!" haha...
So I think it's kind of true in some guys...
However, I know my dad is pretty awesome in helping my mom out for the most part if need be.

Yes, the chores should be shared equally, unless there is some reason not to. These would include one person works a lot and the other doesn't, those sort of things. One person should not do all the housework or that person will begin to think the person not helping is a TOTAL SLOB!

nicely, judging through how she's all tousled in her relationships (2 boyfriends mutually) she would say sure and basically use you to cheer up and then unload you. i'd say it truly is somewhat a grey section. yet in case you truly imagine she's that desirable and also you do not concepts what takes position later then yep you're correct 2 possibly 3 weeks and your golden. the different one will probable get jealous, yet in case you adult men do not communicate she'll get over you and bypass on and also you'll under no circumstances have that chance lower back... which may suck if she actual is that exceptionally :L You gotta confirm which woman you want more desirable. because in case you bypass for one your gonna omit out on the different. the dancing problem: i in my opinion imagine which will be really lovable xP yet some women will be like.. wtf?? i wager it relies upon on the way you pull it off - like once you're an noticeably humorous not awkward guy you're golden with that. yet in case you come back of tacky that's sport over. desire i might want to help :P

My boyfriend always helps me with the house work when he comes over. Then again, he's not the typical jerky guy. Guys should definately step up to the plate and take care of the household. They live there too, so why not??

Why are women just now trying to whip their men into doing laundry and still complaining that they want a REAL MAN? The way I help my wife is by picking up my feet while she's vacuuming, and that's only because she gets in front of the TV and I want her out of the way ASAP so I won't have to pause my video game. Anyone who complains about their husband, should be happy she's not married to me. And by doing this, I help lower the standards of all those women I talked about in the beginning, thus helping my fellow men. You're all welcome.

I honestly believe that In a relationship a woman should be at home in the house to keep the house in order. the man however should be bringing home the bacon to be cooked if the relationship is to point of an understanding.
