redhen !

I should have! he's 10 years older than me and has bad arthritis, I can handle that, but if he starts piddling on the floor.......................

I am very blessed! I am on the short side and have troubles reaching the bottom of the washer and when I was pregnant with our first the belly got in the way and I couldnt reach with out a chair and he was afraid I would hurt myself so he started doing the laundry....seven years later he still does it. We have the agreement that I cook he does the kitchen clean up and everything else we do together! Neither one of us want to do it so we make it a joint effort and it gets done faster!

My hubby does the dishes and laundry since we've been married...going on 17 years. With his lung problem he often could not help outside so he chose those jobs etc. as well as cleaning house most of the time, since I often get stuck doing the outside work. He is also retired military and a neat freak.... He will though often feed up all the critters after he gets off work, or help me with them when I need him too.....

When me and my wife were together the only way the laundry, dishes or cooking would get done is if I done it. I worked she did not. She would complain because I would not hire a maid while playing pogo and scratching lottery tickets all day. I am so glad she is gone.

I am a bit Jealous......
but I must say, that we all make decisions early on what we will & will not live with.
DH and I have been together for 22+ years. I let him do as he wants and he lets me.
the house is never perfect, the lawn I mow (so I can give the chickens their greens). I plant the garden, tend it daily, I take care of all the animals (even his dog).
Our grandson is living with us at this time, and after feeling sick all day and still doing all the animals, I went to bed about 4:00 pm, DH wakes me up at 8pm, knowing GS is supposed to be in bed @ 9pm (for school) with we are out of bread .........so you need to get up. GS "I am hungry nana".
So I get up and I asked why I was woke up....I didn't know what to do for dinner! lol
Had to do the dishes before I could find the hotplate to cook on.

for those of you that get assistance from your SO regardless (asking, nagging) Please give them an extra

and remember there is always another side to the story when things are not the way you want them.

I would not trade my DH, because we have managed to weather some really bad storms together...2 house fires, (total loss no insurance) all 4 parents are now gone, 2 with heart problems 2 with Cancer.....
but we still cuddle on the couch and watch movies together.....or sit at our respective computers and play pogo.

 

[They Call Me Pete]

I do whatever it takes to make our house work. Long list today (not much different than any other day) but getting a nice turkey dinner at the end of the day

. It's the old saying"there is no I in TEAM" and my wife and I are a team.

OK OK enough of this sappy stuff must go and burp/scratch

I think it all depends on how the husband was raised, not so much by his father as much as by his mother.

My mother (God Rest Her Soul) made it plain from the time we could walk, you put your feet under the table to eat, you dang sure are going to contribute to keeping the home going. As a young boy I was taught to do laundry, correctly I might add, that includes washer, dryer, folding and putting away. Dishes, dusting, mopping and low behold the day if I ever left a pair of dirty draws or a wet towel on the bath floor. Does anyone even have to ask about me picking up my own toys? Dog pee on the floor, not that I ever remember my mother allowing a dog or a cat in her house, but I can tell you this--- paper towels would have been a none starter. The entire kitchen floor would liable to have been scrubbed.

As for husbands not "helping out". Might be right. I see many of the younger generation, both male and female that have no understanding of what it takes or the value of keeping a home, yard and auto clean and in good repair. Can't even figure out how to put clothes in the washer, or heaven forbide crank a lawn mower. Crud just piles up, it never occurs to them that it does not have to be that way. The excuse is normally--- I don't have any money. Bologna!!!!!! I am tired. Bull!!!!! You can be poor as Ga red clay dirt, but you ain't got to be dirty. Soap is cheap, water is cheap, and it cost nothing to pick up your mess.

These same individuals who always ------"have no job"--- "I'm so tired"---- "have no money"--- fill in the blank........ Are the same individuals who spend their money on needless bologna, constantly aquire more needless possessions, continualy aquire more objects that require responsible care and it all ends up being some one elses fault "Dr's fault" Daddy's fault" "Mommie's fault" "Father In Law's fault" "Boss's fault" "My Baby's Daddy's Uncle's Brother's Wife's fault" .

Rant over, ya'll continue.
