Well !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,that is a good question.
I wash,iron,decorate,garden,I am also chief electrician (or was until new laws came in)and now he is saying he has to pay somebody,but I can still change the fuses.
Guess what ?????????????? I am going on strike,and if you have any sense you will do the same.And by the way I do the DIY as well.

Sorry, lovey, but you have a lazy, sexist git of a bloke!
I've never had a boyfriend who thought that. Mind you, I'd have kicked them to the kerb long before they got to express that particular opinion!
My boyfriend nowadays does at least half of the housework, sometimes more, as I work longer hours and am usually knackered when I get home. If I were you I'd give this sod an ultimatum - either help me or get out.
Or you could try this tack: that kind of attitude comes from the days when men went out to work and women stayed at home. I'll give up my job and do all the housework and you can work long enough hours to support us both. Of course, nowadays that will mean that you have to have two full-time jobs but that's only fair, since supporting his woman is a man's work .....

Get rid of him if he said that. OR - talk to him. This is not fair. Not fair at all. Especially if both of you work! Taking care of a household is like a job in itself, really! If both of you work - it should be split, like other peopel have answered earlier. I hate that women are still labeled with this.
Like, if I don't work - fine. My "job" will be to keep the house clean and do the chores. It seems like a trade while my husband works in the day. However, this is not fair to have the women labeled with this already.
Once, my family was eating dinner. Someone had to do the dishes, so I said my brother, who is 16 should do them. He said "It's a woman's job". My sister and I flipped out - BUT - my mom did nothing to say my brother was wrong to say that. I was furious and still am. I blame her for making him that way. And I feel bad for his wife, if he'll marry. I think middle eastern men ( I am just using this as the stereotype and brain washing idea, my appologies if it offended anyone) could behave and respect a women more than he could.

I think I am in a minority here but housework ,cooking, laundry is MY job and I don't want any man messing around and trying to help. Unless they have been taught by their mother (not many have) they are usually fairly useless anyway for anything other than the most basic chores. I don't want to have to swap my apron for a tool belt and start fixing things or putting oil in motors etc. so for me it's the kitchen for me and the workshop for him.

It depends. My girlfriends' husbands (most of them, that is) share the housework and cooking and stuff like that, some men I know of don't do so much. Blokes can be pretty lazy, though, yeah.

I think women do lots of housework better than men.But sweeping up, hoovering, washing up,washing clothes is OK,for men 2 help with but ironing or jobs like that need a woman's touch.

Me and my fella apparently share the housework.
This means I do the cooking, cleaning, wash the dishes and ironing and he does the washing. fair split eh?!?
Then to make it worse, he gets up late on a saturday as he works nights, and if I havent finished the washing, I`m lazy!!!
It really gets on my nerves, so more often than not I just shut up and get on with it.

As far as I understand it, cleaning is my cleaner's job. As it happens she is a woman, but I would quite happily have a man.
However, if you look at industrial cleaning contractors, most of their workforce is mixed - the only common denominator is that most of them seem to be from Somalia.
Two questions arise:
1 why Somalians? and
2 how do they travel back and forth from home to work each day?

Lol... great candy potatoes... besides confident I trust you. yet he's merely asserting that stuff, the lazy fellow, because of the fact he would not experience like cleansing. An excuse to get out of domicile artwork. arise and say you like help around the domicile and clearly it wont feminise him.
