Do you have expectations of what your husbands duties are?

Question

If so list some of them, or do you share the household jobs together equally?

Answer 1

neither of us has "duties" but we have traditional roles. we share everything when it comes to our home and family though i do the cooking.

Answer 2

One thing I've noticed, and all of my girlfriends have noticed, is that guys generally don't SEE what needs to be done. My husband is great and will clean or whatever, but he nevers thinks it needs to be done unless I point it out (eg he would leave the toilet for weeks without cleaning it and would change the sheets once a month!).

Generally my husband does most of the "heavy" stuff like taking out the rubbish, moving furniture etc. He usually sweeps the wooden floors at the end of the day (the kids leave crumbs everywhere!) and sometimes he will stack/unload the dishwasher. If things are really messy he'll tidy up a bit. He'll do any of the other chores if I specifically ask, like do a load of laundry or change the sheets.

I am at home and work part time, he works out of home full time so I do most of the hosuework. I do the washing, cooking, shopping, most of the cleaning etc.

Before we had kids and we both worked housework became an issue because I felt I was doing too much. We got a cleaning lady once a week and it was the best investment EVER!

Answer 3

We share the household duties, he tries to do the 80/20 or even 60/40 share but unless he plans on spending 80% of the time in the doghouse he knows 50/50 sounds fair lol.

My only expectation is that he doesn't ask where HE has put something...it's called "trouble in paradise" if I have to look for it.

Answer 4

I only expect him to help out if I can't keep up. If I'm sick, he pitches in. If I have a busy schedule that week, he pitches in. I'm a stay at home mom and I see the house and yard as my job. I prefer if my husband gets to come home from work and relax. There are a few things that I prefer not to take care of so he does. Maintenance on appliances and cars, fixing mechanical things, some home improvement jobs that are too big for one person. Other than that I do it all and love it!

Answer 5

My husband:
Vacuumed and Mopped all floors.
Washed dishes when he cooked
Mowed the lawn and all gardening
Cleans the den - (him and his friends do all their hanging out there)
His laundry
Repaired household items

My duties:
Cleaned the bathroom
Cleaned the bedroom
My laundry
Cleaned the litter box
Managed the finances
Clean and Organize the office
Shopping (Grocery, etc.)

All other household duties we shared and did most of them together.

Answer 6

What expectations should a Indian wife have from her husband and what is a hindu husband duties?

Answer 7

before my husband and i got married, we discussed how things would be.....with room for change of course! we had 2 children within the first 5 years, and it was determined that i would stay home with them until they reached high school - i began to work part-time then. now one child is married, the other is engaged and out of the house....and he could not treat me any better than he did when we first married. i work nights, so i leave him a note where he can see it when he gets home from work....and what is on the note is DONE when i get home, and it is wonderful!

Answer 8

LOL good 1 right.

1st husband thought coming home throwing his dirty work boot's in the laundry room was him cleaning.

2nd husband helped do everything I about died of shock a man who actually know's how to use a vacuum cleaner and a mop and know's when the bed sheet's need changing , WOW.

Pity he kept hoarding thing's from work , so it makes our house look like a damn storage shed.And I mowed the lawn cause he hated that but he took pride in his rose garden , his father taught him that lmao.

Answer 9

I do have a few expectations but they aren't always done either. I have learned not to sweat the small stuff. Life is too short.

Answer 10

yes, i have expectations. i think my husband should pay more attention to our child, and spend time with the family. i expect for him to communicate with me, and to be my best friend. he still cleans the house from time to time, only because he thinks he cleans it better than i do.
