Women do you mind working a full time job and doing all the cleaning And cooking while your man just work?

I’ve been with my boyfriend for about 4 years and we haven’t lived together yet. We are looking into living with each other however, it’s the sharing household responsibility that’s stopping us from moving forward. My boyfriend is currently starting his own business and sometime I help him with his job and still be able to go to my full time job. He said that if we live together, he expect me to cook, clean, work my job and help maintain his business. I also forgot to mention we would be renting his moms house with her living with us if we live together. It’s his preferred choice. He said he will do maintenance in the house and fix the car if needed. I asked if we can help each other with the cooking and cleaning but he said no. He said that a lot of woman don’t mind doing it, especially single mom. So my question is do women or single mom don’t mind doing all the house work even working a full time job?

Every situation is different. For example, in an apartment or condo, you have almost no yardwork or inside or outside maintenance to do - just cleaning inside. In a house, you have internal and external maintenance as well as cleaning. How much depends on the house and property.

How long does it take to cook and clean the house (how many hours per month, on average)? How long does it take to maintain the yard, cars, and house per month, on average?

Would you rather mow the lawn, repair the fences, change the oil or brakes on the cars, fix the sprinklers, etc. or would you rather cook and do laundry?

What I'm saying, essentially, is that you have to take a look at ALL of the work that has to be done - and factor in house-maintenance items that only happen occasionally, such as fixing toilets, replacing the hot water heater, etc. I have at least 1 or 2 "unexpected repairs" per month at my house on average. Take all of that, assign a realistic amount of time per month, and then start assigning those jobs. If things are RELATIVELY balanced, great. If not, then make adjustments.

Obviously not a woman but its hard to miss he isn't really treating you fair on that one. Such gender roles make sense if the woman is willing to be a stay at home. If you work full time aswell you simply won't have the time or energy to do the housework cooking for 2 persons. I mean its sometimes hard to do it just for yourself ;)

Do you cook , clean and work?

[Nirmroth]

When single obviously yes, otherwise my flat would start to look like a mess.

When in a rl or living toghether my girlfriend was usually working full time aswell so we shared those responsibilities. Cooking was done by who was simply earlier at home that day.

In the past, women did all the housework and men worked at work. But the woman was just at home. Today it is common for both to be at work. So there is no longer any reason why one person is lazy and the other has to work harder. I would immediately throw out a guy who's just lazing around.

No, lol.

We can both contribute and hire a housekeeper.

He's taking advantage of you. It's a very old mindset, would be a bit of a concern to me.
Do you want kids? Is he going to step up once you have kids or expect you to do everything with them too?
Ultimately it dosen't matter what happens in other households. Question is do you want to be in that sort of relationship?

I'd never let something like that happen. My preference is to do all the household chores and laundry, as well as work a full time job.
