How many hubbys or boyfriends...

[redhen]

I always feel like a lazy jerk when i admit this..but my hubby does it ALL (from mopping, cooking, dusting, laundry..etc....plus take care of all the outside animals and pens and yard...) AND he works a full time sheet metal job. I admit that i do take advantage of his kindness..*its a problem...but at least i feel bad about it..Does that count? * Let the bashing commence..

Ooh, forgot to add that i'm able to stay at home with the job that i do...

I'm lucky, DH does the dishes and the laundry all the time. Though, I have asked him many times to stop doing the laundry, but he keeps on doing them. He doesn't sort the colors and he washes them throughout the week, but doesn't fold them. The clothes end up sitting on various pieces of furniture until the weekend. I can't complain though, at least he's stop washing my silk knits.

I did my DH's laundry the first week we were married. Somehow a red something got in with the whites. After he saw his pink underwear, he's done his own laundry -- 19 years and still going

My DH and I always have an agreement, I cook he cleans up after me and does the dishes, I think he got the bad end of the deal though, I make a really big mess.

He does laundry and even knows which things not to put in the dryer of mine and I have never told him, he does all the vacuming. He fusses at me about not putting away my clothes. He also does he mowing and yard work. I tell everyone he should have been the woman!! And I love him more than life itself!

My hubby is really good at doing the laundry. He seperates clothes maybe TOO WELL! and he stain-rids them and puts the right amount of soap and others in. We actually use maybe 3 different stuff for laundry. I got color bleach and regular bleach, at least he knows the BIG difference! His cousin did laundry here once, thank god it wasn't my clothes, and he used the colour bleach for whites and regular bleach for COLORS! And he didn't even know what "SPRAY N WASH" was!
The thing is...Is actually getting him to DO IT!

Sounds wonderful!

He may get it from his dad though too. His mom cooks and his dad does dishes...that's their agreement. I think DH learned from his parents that house chores are usually 50-50. I do my share as well, of course. And the chickens are one of my "regular" chores while he takes care of the garden.

Mine lived alone after retiring from the Army. So he can do it all, including using a sewing machine better than me. He's a neat freak and I'm not. So he usually ends up doing stuff before it even occurs to me that it needs doing. He gets extra hugs and such.

Men would do more housecleaning if they knew how attractive it makes them...

He does most of the yardwork, I do flowers and ornamentals.
He expects extra praise when he helps with 'my' chickens

DH CANNOT sew. He makes a pile of clothes that need fixin' whether it is simple like a button needs to be sewn on or patching a big hole in his jeans. I gave my sewing machine back to my mom (she gave to me a few years ago, but she needs to use it again), so DH said he will get me a sewing machine for christmas.

Of course, he has already commissioned his mom for help on that one since he hasn't a clue what to look for.

The yard work vs chickens sounds like us! He does the yard, garden, etc. and I do the chicken (but we built the coop together since that is a two-person minimum job). The other day I had school late and when he put the chickens away, he didn't count them. One of our rooster slept outside.

He's the wimpy roo too. Luckily our property is fully fenced and we don't have many of the predators that people have issues with (weasels, raccoons, etc).

I cook, I bake bread from scratch, I have to iron pleats because my wife can't, and I can disassemble and reassamble an M16 while blindfolded. I can also sit on the couch and watch football and drink beer all afternoon, and don't try to stop me!

Mine always helps. Asks me every day if i need anything done. I cook the meals and he cleans up. Always helps with laundry and works like a dog to boot. But I am the same way. I watched Dr. Phil once and he said if you do for one without asking then it will be returned. So now we both do as much for eachother as we can and it is great.

Oh except the shower we both don't want to clean the shower!! It sucks!

My husband empties the d/w if I don't get to it first, even when I yell at him to quit.

He does his own laundry, every Sunday like clockwork.

If I have forgotten and left towels or something in the dryer he will fold them and put them away.

I love it when he finds some of my clothes in there, he actually folds my panties. I just shove them in a drawer and call it good but if he has done my laundry for me I open the drawer and there it is.... all neatly folded and put away.

He is amazing and I tell him so every day.
