Of course. Most couples divide up the housework as well as any outside work or taking care of elderly relatives. Housework is generally not a massive thing usually an hour a day or less provided both clean up after themselves. A lot of partners have it that the man generally does the majority of home maintenance while the woman does the majority of the inside work. In my opinion its really about equal effort and if one partner starts earlier anc finishes later the other partner will pick up the slack.
Why have you got a picture of Millie Bobbie Brown in a bikini?
I don't have her in it, her PR company does.
Why did you post it tho
It's in the media so why not
Bit weird. She’s 16
... and if it had been one of the boys from stranger things at the beach?
It would still be weird lmao
Splitting it 50/50 all the time is so childish, people have bad days or busy days or just can't be bothered sometimes, the point of a relationship is that you work with each other. No, unless it's what that couple has personally decided should all domestic chores be left to just one or mainly one person but know it'll never be completely 50/50 and some days it'll be more like 90/10
I voted Yes, however full time could be anything between 30 - 50hrs, my ex had a 30hr job, I had a 50hr job, she begrudged me for having to do an average of 5hrs extra housework a week (if that, basically the time to prepare a meal) even though she was still doing 15hrs a week less work than me after that one extra task!..
And to add, she was a fully qualified chef, who would ALWAYS find fault if I cooked..
My God people , how about you respect each other and work it out by talking-to one another. Make a plan and follow though on it.. it's really honestly that simply no matter what race color , age , gender. If two people make a plan how how to live with each other. Then boom life. Is easier.. cause you worked together to be able to live together simply done
No, because women tend to have a higher standard of cleanliness and they tend to insist on buying bigger houses and more material possessions to put inside them, which both obviously increase the maintenance workload. If you want to scrub the living Jesus out of everything, go right ahead, but don't hold me to your neurosis! And if you feel the need to adorn our shared space with silly, overpriced, fragile knicknacks to satisfy YOUR aesthetic tastes, at least make sure you got your own money to finance your own hobbies.
They should both contribute whatever Arrangement you have worked out the works for the both of you but a guy should always be the one to take the trash out regardless there's no such thing as men's Work women's work but the one job that should always be left of the guy is taking out the trash.
In a perfect world yes, but that isn't our world. We are still holding our more contemporary agricultural standards. Men would work long hours in the fields, the whole day (12+ hr shifts) and women would do the housework for the whole day. After the industrial revolution into the modern era, the work week went down and the number of chores went down for women as well. Meals could keep longer, premade meals, washing and drying machines, Dishwasher, and other time saving devices. If the man is working long shifts outside the house and the woman shorter shift inside, division will be skewed. If they are working equally outside, they should work equally inside.
If they're both working full time and earning similar salaries then both should put in equal effort in non-work responsibilities. How they divvy that up is completely up to them.
However, if he is earning significantly more income than her, as is often the case because that is what many women expect and want from a man in a relationship, then chances are he is also experiencing a lot more work related stress. In that case I do not believe he should be expected to contribute as much around the house.
It also depends on what they do and how exhausted they are but more importantly who should do what amount of work is rather a personal thing to discuss minding each others physical capabilities, work load, skills and fatigue.
So no, the answer is never going to be either.
It should be separate but equal. I cut the grass and did laundry. She cleaned and did most of the cooking. We both shopped for food (so romantic).
She's at home now and does almost everything. She also teaches the boys. The boys cut the grass. I work outside the home. I'll do a load of laundry now and then.
I voted yes, but I don't think it can really be split 50/50, it depends on the couple and what chores they do. Maybe she ends up doing more, maybe he ends up doing more, it should only matter to the couple and they should discuss it.
We do 50-50 . Some times i do more and other times the wife does more. But cooking is my special touch , well am a chef but she cooks too but not that often.
You share a house, it's only normal to do your share of chores. If both work equal hours then neither has more time to devote to household tasks than the other.
I feel like it should be equal responsibility for both parties.
It depends on a lot of things.
In fact, it depends on so many things I don't think I have the energy or motivation to write about it completely here.
Housework should be divided according to each couple, their interests, willingness to deal with different kind of messes, and tolerance for not getting the job done. The person who cares more should end up doing more.
Actually women are not bound to do household chores... They are there to please their husband in bed and not to perform household work... So it's the equal responsibility of husnad to help her if she is willingness to do house work...
They both should contribute. If I'm living with my girlfriend or wife. Running the house is our responsibility and we will share or divide the tasks or it will be mutually understood.
Its based on what the xoyple agreea to its not a male pr female thing some womanwant to clean up and some men want yo some people are ocd and need things a certain way wich usually leads to them doing it themselves
Hell yeah. Share the yardwork, too. And take turns changing the oil, and cleaning the gutters. Share every responsibility.
Yes.
The couple who mows together grows together!
Haha that’s cute
