Ok, that is wrong i could understand a wife asking for help if she worked full time and has kids ontop of that to take care of and cook and stuff. Your wife does nothing all day and you bust your *** at work and she expects you to ''help'' her with house chores? I guess she's pulling a muscle or 2 holding a mop or broom! Don't do any housework for her let her do it.

I am a stay at home mother and I only work 1 day a week while my children are at school.
My husband is a night shift worker so he is asleep all day and may see the kids for an hour if they are lucky and then he leaves for work and we don't see him again until the next afternoon.
We have 5 children which is alot of hard work. I am up early in the morning getting kids organised for school, then getting the baby ready aswell and myself and take my daughter to pre primary sit and do a puzlle or two, the other kids walk. I get home around 9:30 and am feeling a bit tired after the last two hours getting kids organised.
I then start the house work, but as I am doing the work my baby is in the other room making a mess that I had just cleaned. This goes on all day. I am forever picking up, you don't sit down and do nothing because I am up and down constantly looking after my son. I can't get alot of work done during the day as my husband isn't a heavy sleeper. I m trying to stop the baby banging and clashing and making lots of noise thats kids enjoy doing. Sometimes I feel like I am going to explode with running here and there. I go to the shop with kids in tow. That is a mission in itself. Getting them in and out, trying to do the shopping while also trying to keep and eye on the kids. Night time it doesn't end there, there is tea getting them to o homework and doing the washing getting dishes organised, then there trying to get the boys to have a shower, and then get them to bed. Try being a mother for a month and let you wife go to work and when she gets home let her do nothing. While you also get up during the night to kids that have bad dreams, wet the bed, sleep walk, are sick and then not get to sleep in because your day is even harder the next day because your eyes are hanging out of your head, then on top of that you are lazy and not a very good wife if you ask for a little help.
I work one day a week and and as soon as I am through those doors my husbands hands the baby over and then my starts again from there. Cooking cleaning picking up kids and then he goes off his head when the house is a mess and I don't want to do anything about cleaning it because I am too buggered.
You get off your rear end and help your wife out. You work yes but so does she 24 hours a day, and has every right to sit on her behind and do nothing. Our jobs don't end at the end of the day, they go on for years.
You don't have to do everything but she is also looking after your kids that you both made and a little bit of help doesn't hurt. You will see what a difference it makes to you both just by helping a little.
My husband has started helping out more and so he should I am here all alone most of the week, and our relationship has become alot happier because I don't feel like I am a single mother raisng a house and family.

Need more info. Is she home to care for your children? If so, then she works just as hard as you and you should help at home as much as you can. If she is just at home alone all day doing nothing, while you work, then she should have all of the chores done.

I don't think it's right and certainly not fair but your not alone. My brother works for a phone company, he was military but after he retired he went to work for this company. He has always done the housecleaning and cooking and took care of the 2 kids. My sister-in-law does the shopping and the laundry. They have been married 33 years now.

If the woman is home taking care of your children, she works just as hard as you do. Raising kids is hard work and if you dont think it is then you should switch places for two weeks. You will change your mind. I have children 3 and sixteen months and a teenager and I can tell ;you I work just as hard as my husband if not harder. He is a plumber and that is hard. In many ways it is easier to have a job. Give your woman credit.

When my hubby is home all I ask from him is to take the trash out. Besides that any cooking, cleaning, taking care of the kids, home repair, yardwork ,etc I do.
