whos the maid or butler in your household?

[Ethan_Hawley]

My fiance and I do the housework together. He and I both believe it should be split 50/50, since we both live here. I like doing the laundry. He takes out the trash. We both do the dishes. We both clean the house. I will cook sometimes, but I don't really like to. I don't like men who think that all women are suppose to do is cook and clean all day. I don't have any sons yet, but when I do they will be raised to cook and clean.

I agree...

To all the moms out there, teach your sons how to act like gentlemen and they really will turn out alright.  I promise.  Open doors for ladies, say yes ma'am or yes sir, stand up when a lady enters the room, look people in the eye, stand up straight, say please and thank you.  Little things go along way.  Again, all this is IMHO.  I'm certainly NOT trying to tell people how to act or raise their children, that's certainly none of my business.

Ethan, I agree with all you said.

Your husband needs to start helping you out. I would tell him if he wants dinner to make it himself, or at least give you a hand.

It really sucks that the only reason why he's expecting you to do everything, is because his mom was that with him, so he never learned how to do stuff himself.

i truly don't expect him to do everything but like you said tiger to just give a helping hand

Ok, I'm sorry ladies...but you need to expect more from your husbands..IMHO.

I've been married for almost 2 years now (so maybe you can attribute my behavior to 'oh he's still a newlywed'), and I am MORE than capable of pitching in with my fair share of the housework.  If I have dirty laundry, I do it.  If the dishes pile up in the sink, I wash them.  When the yard needs mowed, I mow it.  When my wife works night, I make her dinner. 

Maybe it's because I lived on my own as a batchelor for a couple years after college, but my mama didn't raise me expecting to be waited on hand & foot once I got married.  I can sew my own buttons and I put the toilet seat down, thank you very much.

I'm sorry your husbands "make" you do so much around the house.  Hopefully they at least tell you how much they appreciate what you do every now and then...

You so just bumped yourself up to husband #2.  Tee hee!

My first husband, Mr. Foxx, is a lot like Mr. Ethan here...and its effing awesome.  He pretty much has rebuilt our house from scratch, takes out the trash, makes dinner every other night, cleans the litter box, mows the grass, empties the dishwasher, etc.

This isn't 1950 Pugsly.  You need to tell him to shape up or ship out.  No one deserves to be treated like a maid.

Very well said, Foxx.

Very well said, Foxx.

Thanks woman...

You too...

Mrs. Ethan sure wouldn't be too happy with any extra-marital activity but thanks for the compliment.  Maybe we can just be drinking/pogo buddies?!  ;) ;D

The lady, Foxx, has a great point Pugsly.  Especially considering your condition; your husband (IMHO) should be more involved around the house.  My mom is the same way...she taught her sons well, but doesn't expect the same from her husband (my idiot father).  You deserve to be treated well..not because you do things around the house, or clean up around the house.  You deserve to be treated well because you are his wife and he loves you, and that's not how you honor and respect someone you love.

LOL...newlyweds.  Sheesh! 

You mean you don't have wife #2 lined up?  That's just poor planning.   ;)

I realize my post here is going to upset some people. I can't say it as nicely as Ethan or Foxx did.

If you dont like it? Change it.   I am fully aware that changing things is not always easy, but if its being done for the right reasons its definitely worth it.

It's not going to upset me, I know where your words come from. I've also been where you have.   :-*
