Ok so supposably there are husbands who do half or close to half of the housework if their wives work. Yeah I doubt that. From what I've seen and from articles I've read women still do 90% of the housework. Even when I was the bread winner and my ex was a SAHD I still did almost all of the housework. Now if I was the SAHM in that relationship and pulled that bs I would have been an awful mooch. So why wasn't he? So does gender equality mean that you get to bust your hump at a 9-5 job and then come home and wait on everyone hand and foot? Frankly doesn't seem very fair to me. Thoughts on this?
Daimhin: Wow! Sounds like you are married to my friend's wife. I'm sorry but everyone knows that your case is rare. Most of the time it is the woman going to work and shouldering the bulk of the household chores. I do know what it's like to be the bread winner and then have to come home and do everything. Which is why I only ask for help from my hubby when it is absolutley neccessary. Like I'm sick for an extended period of time. Or oh crap we're going to have last minute company.
Wow Dr. J bitter much? Actually I have an awesome hubby who treats me like a queen. He's even willing to lend a hand w/ the spring cleaning and what not if I ask. So long as I take care of the daily household chores. He fully admits to hating or not wanting to take care of the home, errands or the kids on a daily bases. Which is why I don't work outside the home.
