Oh yeah, cooking is another thing I can add to my list of things to do!

I must be one of the lucky ones. Sam will help with the housework (although he doesn't clean the tubs!) - he will vacuum, scrub toilets, wash/dry/AND fold clothes, will help in bathing the furbabies, and he does the yard work. I will do all the dusting and scrubbing of tubs, sweeping and mopping. He will also get the boys do various appointments and activities if I'm at a point with work where I can't do it. I guess his cleaning comes from working at the fire station - they have to keep the station virtually spotless at all times! We share with the cooking - sometimes I'll come in from work and he's got dinner started and our rule is, whoever cooks, the other cleans the kitchen and it works great

My husband is pretty good with helping out, now if I could just get the kids to help out w/out complaining!

Mine doesn't do anything!!!! Okay, so I may have exaggerated a little. I'm picky, so it is probably all my fault, everything else is....LOL Anyway, he takes out the trash when told to, helps son mow the yard, but I can get it done in 2 1/2 hours and it takes him darn near all day. Rides for awhile, piddles in the garage, rides for awhile, piddles some more. Drives me crazy. If I leave a list, he'll do it, but it may take a week or two. Our biggest problem in all honesty is probably me. I want things done right and he does things just to get them done. When we first got married, I wanted to be the perfect little housewife and take care of things so I just trained him wrong. Good thing I believe marriage is forever (he does too), or else I would have been gone a long time ago. We manage, and I am not without my faults (although few...LOL). Most of the time it's not so bad.

Seriously, 15 years ago I would have posted similarly to you, but now he doesn't do anything. I'm not sure where I went wrong!

Oh, and I guess I'm lucky, he doesn't expect me to do anything. He'd be happy living in a mess and never eating a meal. I just can't wallow in muck.

Sometimes I just PREFER to do most of the chores around the house. Usually when my hubby does it, it is a half a$$ job or just not done correctly. My philosophy, if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself.

I don't even want to discuss this. If he had it his way, I'd have to wipe his a$$, too!

I know exactly what you mean!!! So if the time ever comes, he'd better hire a nurse!!!!

Jlynn · 09-05-2006, 03:29 PM

Umm, I pay the bills, mow the lawn, load/unload dishwasher, dust, vacuum, bath and medicate pets as needed, walk dogs at least two times each day, clean the house, sweep the sidewalks, porches, etc., maintain the air in my tires and the windshield wiper fluid in my car, change light bulbs, grocery shop, cook, empty the trash, (oh,but trash is his job...he moves it to the curb once/week)

, and

most fun, follow dh around picking up the scraps of paper, empty drink cans, etc., that never manage to find their way to the trash can without me.

I set my alarm for an 1-1/2 hours before I need to be in the shower, just to give me tiime to work on this stuff before leaving for the day!

no its no just you. I cook clean, and do every thing else around the house. My hubby tossies a fit if I even ask him to take my furbabys out side.

Amber_lv · 09-05-2006, 06:40 PM
