Sarah Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 As the title suggest really lol Is the man in the house "the man"? Does the woman do all the cleaning? In my house I wear the pants LOL We share cooking and cleaning etc he irons his things i iron mine, things work pretty well in that respect I don't believe in them 100% but I think there's a certain element that still holds true today, eg i would paint and decorate but building anything or general DIY i leave to my OH or better yet my dad lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 As the title suggest really lol In my house I wear the pants LOL In your dreams LMAO I agree its a hell of a lot easier doing things between each other though. No arguments needed, if somethin needs doin we both tend to just do it. Makes for a simple life really. I do however still get the stereotypical "Marc my computers broke can you fix it", "Marc why wont the TV work", "Marc you need to fix that fill in the blank here" LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Doooo I????? well!........... But in all seriousness (well done ladies if you go this far ) but i think comparimise is the best solution, share the jobs, share the stress etc etc though some jobs are worth more points than others, e.g scrubbing the toilet / bathroom is worth more points than cooking, since cooking can be enjoyable, where as scrubbing the toilet.......you'd have to be some kind of freak to enjoy that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovemysiberian Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 I would rather share the responsibilities and that was the deal.... but it didn't really end up that way Not to mention household responsibilities, I also work full time and I am Echo's primary caretaker. But he gets to fix everything that needs fixin' .. guess it makes him feel more like a man than doing dishes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naomiJayne Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Your OH is a woman then???? nope It's not like I have a choice anyway, He says my cooking is crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siberian_wolf Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 I don't believe in all that 'man goes to work and woman do the house duties and raise kids' crap But it does run like that here though! Jamie goes out to work and I do the house duties and look after the boys. It's not that bad as Jamie does work all the hours of the day and night so I don't mind doing my bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueWolf Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 For a very long time my mother used to work while my dad did all the housework, cleaning, cooking and caring for me a little child After some time they decided to swap so now it's my dad working (but still occasionally cooking) and my mother doing the rest. We definitely don't follow the 'typical gender roles'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid_Wolf Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 we share, i hate doing the dishes, so he does them and cleans the kitchen, i do the livingroom. I do the bathroom, he does our bedroom. he does work more than me though, but i am the main carer for the dogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tams Teeko and Keeta Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 We sort of share but...to be fair....i do most. He has to be gently bullied into any housework and he sucks at DIY so thats my job too. He does everything with the cars tho. He likes it haha! I keep telling him I want to quit my job and be a housewife....then I would do all the cleaning and cooking...would even cook steak! Anything to stop going to work ha! But, alas, we can not afford it :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MollynDiesel Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 In any relationship im in charge (think guys call me a control freak, no idea why:whistling:lol) I generally do everything but only because its quicker and easier than explaining and waiting for someone else to do it. I would share if i had the patience lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marley & Lumikkis Mummy Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 I go out to work (only a couple of hours a week) and Tony does most of the housework. Tony picks colour schemes and accessories, i do the decorating, painting, wallpapering ect..... Saying that he does DIY and 'Man' stuff too. He is also a better cook than me with most things although I do make a mean fry up !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunc Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Your OH is a woman then???? Tell me that !!!!!! I do the cooking in this house and about 75% of the housework, won't do the ironing this is a woman's job they even got smaller feet so they can stand closer to the board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosemary Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 For years, my husband did all of the shopping, and a lot of the housework - I worked longer hours than he did, and for a quite a while even earned a lot more, but now our roles have changed The only thing I don't do for him now, is his ironing. He mows the lawn and puts the bins out. When I think of it, I went from being financially independent, with no gender determined role, to being what my grandmother always wanted me to be - the good wife, looking after my husband :eek: She always lectured me about the evils of my independence. Full circle ........ Oi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elyse Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 I'm not in a relationship...but in my family my Mom cooks and my Dad's the breadwinner. I usually cut the grass and take out the garbage, though, while my brother does jack shit. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
