Gender Roles. Who's the "man" of the house? *poll*

posted 29th Nov
I'm constantly reading about how many of your husbands are slobs, or don't help with the kids, or don't clean up at all, or don't do this or that around the house. But I'm wondering, how much if that is just venting? How much does your husband/SO/life partner REALLY do? Are you just as much of a slob? Does he/she do more?


D&D!

He cleans the entire house every morning before he goes to work. He even does the dishes and laundry.

It's equal with us. I'm blessed my s/o works most days from 5am-7pm , He will still come home and help out around the house with anything.

Most of what my SO does is help pay the bills. I do 90% of the housework and caring of our daughter. The last part isn't really his fault though. He works second shift and I have my daughter on my 1st shift schedule still. I am the one who actually takes care of all of the bills though. I get the money from all of our checks and he gets an allowance so to speak.

My husband does almost all the housework, cooking at times, gets up with the baby on his days off, and works and goes to school. Needless to say, I rarely gripe about him.

SO does more because when he is home I am usually doing homework or studying, Then I catch up with laundry and help out on my breaks from school and weekends. So I said I was the "man" lol but it evens out.

My husband always helps around the house and with the kids. In fact I just went out of town all weekend and left him with both girls. I hate to admit it but sometimes I think he is better at handling it all than I do. He takes care of all us and I am very lucky to have him. That being said we are both messy and loathe laundry .

Well my husband doesn't do much work around the house but I don't complain about it nor do I call him names. He works his butt off to support us financially. I take care of the kids and the house. Neither of us is lazy; we just have different roles.

I do vent occasionally about how I feel like he never does anything at home, but in all reality, he works his ass off at work. So he does deserve to come home to a clean house and relax. But I am a pretty awful "housewife."

He's the money earner, I do 99% of the house work. At the end of my pregnancy, when I was miserable, he would cook if I got everything out, got it ready, and told him exactly how to do it. That's about all he does, if he or DD makes a mess, chances are, I'm the one cleaning it up...

Zero, nothing, nada. I even pack his bags for him when he went to the field!
Even though we are going to be getting divorced, I stay home, he works, so I do it all.

I'd say we are almost equal. I do 98% of the house cleaning and cooking. But he will help if I need it. he can't cook.....lol so that is always fun. He takes our daughter whenever i need him to. He likes being involved. He does almost all outside work. yeah I really help that. lol I just hate it.

My DH works and i dont, so i do 85% or more of household stuff. Whichis fair. BUT he is in NO WAY a slob. He respects that household work is work and doesnt make messes without cleaning them and makes sure the landry, trash, and dishes go into the proper places (hamper/trashcan/sink). He vacuums and does all of the lifting as im restricted right now

We're equal. We both go to school, work, clean and take care of our dd. Neither of us could carry all that burden alone. We're too tired and busy.
