Im on strike.

[Emma58]

Mine does all the dishes - dishwasher or by hand - and empties it (in fact he gets annoyed if I do )

hoovers, cleans floors, tries to put washing on (I stop him - he's still not got darks/lights sorted out), will clean the bathroom etc along with me and cooks sometimes

The only thing he doesn't do is iron (although he will do odd items for DS) or clean windows. He also doesn't notice dusting

However he doesn't do it all to my standard and although he'll clean a kitchen etc he does it to a man standard (ie anythign on worktops gets wiped around not moved) BUT I'm not complaining - he's actually pretty good

I never have to carry anything either - since my shoulder complaint he even fetches washing etc downstairs for me

Where do you find one of these?? LOL

Actually my OH might not do anything in the house but he does.
Wash my car, mend it, do the garden and all the blokey things. But what really p@sses me off is when i have a moan he says things like 'next time your car needs whatever you do it' he doesn't actually have to do these things every day.

hmm well it took a little training and a little mention of if we share the housework i'm not so tired and well I have more energy for other things

but really - he doesn't play computer games (don't know how you lot put up with that )


and generally he spoils me

get one 22 years older than yourself - soon after we first met we watched a programme on age gap relationships and a guy on there was saying you should cherish your younger wife so I just always remind him of that

When I read your first post I thought 'oh no her man is gay' but then I read this and its because you are younger than him!!!! Thats another exception to the rule. They've gotta be gay, guilty or older than you

 

[Lou]

men just don't do all that housey stuff, unless they are gay or feeling guilty about something.

.....


I hate to be the bearer of bad news but nothing changes for men when you have the baby! You will still have to do it all. They may help for a week or 2 but then thats it. I prefer it, we do things our way! Even when my OH does something I end up doing it again so now I just say don't worry, let me do it

Your opinion made me why lou???












BECAUSE ITS SO TRUE especially the feeling guilty bit...

DH only irons his shirt and he cooks dinner every night, only because I made it very clear when I first met him that I only cook and iron for my daughter... I won't even cook and iron from myself... so that's saying something

Yeah see you made rules from the start, thats the secret. I've just slipped into the stereotypical relationship.

Men have never and will never....

put clothes into the laundry
pick up after themselves
clean anything (other than their car)
prepare food on a plate rather then straight on the work surface
make a bed (properly)
hang up wet towels
wash up
dry up
put away
hoover (other than the car)
polish (other than the car dashboard)

The sooner you realise the easier your life will be....

Ive trained mine to cook at least.. and well you need to replace the word car with computer (yes he actually took a hoover to it the other day , can't do the carpet.. but can do the computer)

my oh hoovered his laptop once and one of the keys was sucked up!

[zebrastripes]

Hmmm.My bf and I don't live together,but he's very good and offers to come over specially just to do my housework

But I get this horrible feeling that when the day comes when we set up house together,that'll alll stop,once he realises that mummy isn't there to do everything anymore

 

[mrs_tommo22]
