Why don't men help with the evening chores when his wife works out of the home too???

Answer 1

Because she allows her husband to do nothing. She needs to remind husband that she also works and is tired herself...if he doesn't take note let him cook his own dinner, do his own laundry.....oh yeah just don't do any housework eat out! problem solved - get in a cleaner bill it to him lol

Answer 2

Now here are the rules from the male side.


These are our rules!Please note.. these are all numbered "1 " ON PURPOSE!



(1.) Men are NOT mind readers.

(1.) Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down.
We need it up, you need it down.You don't hear us complaining about you leaving
it down.

(1.) Sunday sports It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides.
Let it be.

(1.) Crying is blackmail.

(1.) Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!

(1.) Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

(1.) Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do.
Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.


(1.) Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.
In fact, all comments become Null and void after 7 Days.

(1.) Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials..

(1.) Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.

(1.) ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.
Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We
have no idea what mauve is.

(1.) If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

(1.) If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like
nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

you don't want to hear.

(1.) I am in shape. Round IS a shape!

(1.) I have to sleep on the couch tonight;


But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.

Answer 3

The answer is "MEN" (that's the operative word) do".

My husband helps with the evening chores and I'm a stay at home Mom. We both realize how fortunate we are that we respect each other for what we bring to the family.

Answer 4

Of course almost half the anwsers are generalizations. but they may be from the big cities. When I get home I haul 50 pound feed bags around scattering them for the cows. Now I do other chores as well but doesnt that count. I do the hard physical labor so she doesnt have to!!!!!!!!

Answer 5

There has to be house rules. Better discuss it with your husband. Unless he's not open to suggestions, he will eat microwave food until he helps with chores. Either that, he can do his own laundry, clean up his own mess, wash his own dishes as well. You both have to negotiate what works and what won't. Make it appear that he's helping and that it would be better for both if both helped around the house - less stress, more sex after.... incentives. LOL!

Answer 6

Some of them do. We have a standing agreement in our house...first one in fixes dinner hands down.....last one out in the am makes sure vacuuming is done and house is in shape to come home to and not feel as if there is too much to be done. We each have a room we are responsible for and make sure we each have ours done. We also enlist the kids as well to help out. we had a struggle at first because we are two totally different personality types but once we established these things it worked.

Answer 7

Not only do I cook as soon as I get home, but also give my sons their baths, clean and run errands, all this after working 8 hrs. So for those of you talking about men this and men that,,Please don't generalize, all en are not created equal...
Probably his upbringing has a lot to do with it.

Answer 8

Because they aren't all as great as my honey. He cooks dinner after working all day (construction worker), then helps with the kids and does the laundry. Honestly all I do is an occassional deep clean and take care of the boys. He is great

Answer 9

I was a single dad w3 kids, and I know how to keep house,cook,laundry, etc., And I help my wife, cook, clean, outside is ALL MINE, plus all maintneance work, remodeling, and still work 55 hours a week, but the benefits r all mine!!

Answer 10

Most men are lazy. Or they think that keeping house is a woman's job.
