No, if he chose to work and for her to stay at home that's on him. He also shouldn t make it harder for her at home just because he works either
That would be fair. The problem is that many times, both the man and woman are working, but the woman is still doing the majority of the house work.
This question is rhetoric. Of course, I have voted for "Yes". This could lead into major problems in relationships and everything.
I'm a staunch believer in people cleaning up after themselves... so with that in place, she can do something.
My mom works and does 3/4's of the housework. My dad works and he does 1/4 of the housework. SO LIKE...
he shouldn't have to do any housework... and he should be treated kindly
That's what happens when guys date younger woman.
It is fair. The wife has to contribute in some way as well to the marriage.
If he is working full time he is not home to do any of these chores. It is really hard to be in two places at once.
Does he expect her to come into his office and help do his job? Nope, and she shouldn't expect him to do that either. If her job is to care for the home, then she should do it just like he does his job.
Of course. Division of labour is the basis of all effective family units.
What's fair is what both partners agree to and accept as such.
It's fair for him to do zero housework and zero child rearing if he is earning all the money.
Technically if that's the case then he shouldn't be doing ANY housework.
I'd still rather handle some things myself, as I can get really picky. Handling it myself means no bickering with a woman due to her never doing it quite right. Some more general house things, whatever. But I make distinctions. Usually, if it's hers and something really personal, I leave it alone. Basic courtesy. But I expect the same courtesy in return.
@ObscuredBeyond Nothing wrong with that. There's a difference between you WANTING to do it and her EXPECTING you to do it.
He works outside the house and she doesn't?
Less house work? Yes.
None at all? No.
Yes except women don't see it that way they think men should provide all of the money and should do at least half or more of the housework
Depends what he’s doing with the money really
I pickup after myself so there is no cleaning up after me.
men live 10 years shorter tells me that men work too much.
Nah that's clearly doesn't like a lovely marriage!
