Should the husband of a stay at home wife have any housework to do after he comes home from work or weekends? (Page 2)

Question

I actually had an debate with a few other women who are stay at home mothers, part time working mom's and working mom's about this. Their reasoning was that while their husband is working they are at home working to so when their husbands come home they should be doing the household chores etc.  My argument was that if their husband is at work all day & they are at home all day looking after the home & the kids then by the time they get get home from work there shouldn't be anything left for their husbands to do except play with the children, eat his dinner and maybe give you a back rub. Apparently because I have his clothes ready for the next day, his lunch made, our child looked after & fed, house clean, laundry done, beds made, dinner ready, grocery shopping done I'm spoiling & spineless. I mean most of what I do during the week is finished by 12-1pm, I can't work out what these other women do all day. Hell I often manage to fit in a snooze & some me time. They all seem very lazy, drink to much, take pills & are very disrespectful to their husbands when they come home, taking then for granted.

No. If he's earning the money then she should be pulling her weight at home. It's her job.

If you live in a house you look after the house I don’t understand how this is a question for people, what do these men do when they live alone.

If you choose to do that that’s great because it’s your choice

There are chores that husbands prefer to take over, especially if they're strenuous.

Yes, regardless of what the gender is. The person staying home should take on the majority or all of the housework, it’s only fair

SunnyRS · Answer

If some work is left we can help each other and on weekends we could make a game out of it and the whole family can do some together and get some fun time together.

He shouldn't have 'any' housework to do; he should do *all* the housework, in my opinion.

Akam93 · Answer

I do my best as a stay at home mom but my husband works from home so he can help a little bit.

A stay at home wife no. A Stay at home mom who is taking care of children yes. Everyone needs a break at some point. The husband needs a break from his job and same for the stay at home mom. It’s best to find a way that works for both of you.

Yeah--I'm with you 100% on this. When I come home and the house is a complete mess, it's a sign that she hasn't done her job very well.

TonyMetal___86 · Answer

The housewife does all the house chores, cooking and cleaning plus raising the kids and making her husband happy if she's a housewife, period! She works inside while he works outside...

LiamJHayden · Answer

Depends upon how many small children they have.

OfDeath · Answer

Yeah the husband still has to do something. Maybe not all the time but the stay at home wife can’t do everything. Just realistic.

A lot of people nowadays are conditioned to detest traditional roles, especially in marriage. I welcome you posting about it but I'd suggest trying not to let their bitterness take up too much of your headspace.

FenixG45 · Answer

When I was married, we both worked. I took kiddo to school; she picked him up. I vacuumed the whole house, I did the dishes and pots and pans, she cooked, we both did a bathroom. We split stuff.
