Should men do housework?

[Melanie31]

I think men should not do housework if there is a woman at home (mother, wife, sister). what do you think?

[Jerre]

I think they should if necessary

[Jerre]

@Melanie31 Thank you for the Like

No, that's a female's job

[Peridot25]

You’ll never survive on your own without a woman cleaning up your mess.

The dance of love isn't just about the grand gestures outside but also the little pirouettes we do around the house, don't you think? My take is that housework shouldn't be a solo performance. Imagine it as a duet where both partners move in sync, sharing the steps (aka chores). It’s not about who's on stage (man or woman), but how beautifully you can twirl together, creating harmony. After all, sharing responsibilities can actually be a secret ingredient to a stronger, happier relationship. Plus, nothing screams "I’ve got your back" louder than a partner who's willing to roll up their sleeves and dive into the dishes with you. Let’s keep the choreography of love inclusive, shall we? 😉

[AmandaYVR]

Of course they should. They're adults.

[Apple1996]

Ofc they live in the house too

[Lliam]

Of course they should unless he works hard as the sole bread winner and she doesn't have a job.

I took care of myself when I was single and working full time. I didn't need someone else to cook, clean and do my laundry for me.

When my wife and I got married and moved into our own home in the country, we both worked full time and had a lot to do around the house and yard. We eventually settled into a system.

We both do a lot of chores. For example she does most of the cooking, so I wash most of the pots, pans and dishes. I empty the dishwasher and put things away. I don't mind doing laundry so I do all of it except for her clothes because she wants hers done a certain way. I empty all of the trash baskets in the house and take out the trash.
There are certain things that she does exclusively but we help each other out on most things.
And we are both very busy with the garden.

I don't sit around and watch TV or play games while she does all the housework. And I don't have an ideological objection to doing work around the house. I don't believe that there is such a thing as "woman's work".

The work gets done sooner when both people chip in. And the sooner the work gets done, the more time there is to have fun.

It depends. If the man is the only source of income and is working a full-time job to support his wife and family at home, then it's the woman's duty to do the housework. But if both the man and woman are bringing income, then they should both share the housework.

Here's how I see the ideal family setup. As the man, I work a full-time job 5 days a week and my partner stays at home doing all the housework like washing, cooking, cleaning, and looking after all the admin required to run the house. Before we have any kids, she'll have spare time during the day so she can get a part-time job and work a few hours a day to help our financial situation. On the weekends it's my job to look after all the practical "man jobs" like looking after the yard, mowing the lawns, house projects, general maintenance, etc. Once we have kids, everything stays the same except she doesn't have to work any hours at a job anymore, I'll be helping her out with housework more often, and we'll share the baby duties.

[MisterWack]

Melanie31 is a man in disguise.

Anyways, I’ve always fantasized about doing chores with my future wife side by side like she cleans half the dishes & I clean half, we do laundry together, we clean the floors in the house together, etc. I really thought it was a beautiful thing that would bring us emotionally and physically together while talking about our day, thoughts, etc. which would make the time click by quicker too. I’m not saying you should do this, this is my system and I plan to carry it out if my wife is okay with that, okay? Good!

It depends on the circumstances. If he works full times and she doesn't and they don't have children at home, then she should be taking care of ALL the housework while he's at work. Fi there are kinds at home, that takes a lot of time and energy, and she may not be able to get all the chores done during the day, so the man should help out to some degree. If they both work full time, they should split the house chores.

I will add that when we say house work, it's NOT just the typically female chores. You need to also account for all the stuff he does maintaining the house, yard and automobiles, the financials, etc. Those are things most feminists love to brush under the rug.

[TommyMountainFigure]

When it comes to living in a nice and clean environment I am OCD about it, so yes I prefer to do all that stuff myself.

Here's a question for you? One to think about ok?

Why should doing the housework be decided by whether or not you have a cock?

[12karen]

I think it should be equal and balanced, if the both the couple work, they should share housework. If the man works and the woman don't, mean he'll do less at home, maybe he'll help with a few things only and vice versa
I've enough of hearing "you're a woman you should do everything or else no one's gonna marry you, as a hubby, he should be happy and have everything he needs and as a wifey, you should do everything and give him everything" sorry no way, It's a marriage, it's about sharing everything the good and bad, work and game, if the guy need someone to do everything for him, he should hire a maid not getting married.

[HawkPerception]

Depends. If it's a traditional dynamic and the man is the sole breadwinner, then no. His partner should be doing the housework (the cleaning and cooking)

If they're contributing financially 50/50 then, yes... the man should be doing 50/50 with the housework.

And in the rare scenario where the woman is the breadwinner, then the man should be doing all the housework.

It's all about team work.

[hahahmm]

Generally speaking, no. For reasons I describe in the MyTake, How Feminists Devalue Men's Contributions with the Non Gender Role Game.

But simps don't get it & feminists pretend not to get it.

[meepmeeperton]

Sure but he shouldn’t have too as much if he has a wife and he works full time or works more than his wife. But your mindset can make men lazy, because they will grow up with their sisters and mother cleaning up after them all the time.

[abc3643]

I just got finished doing a day's worth of housework while my wife went in kayaking.

[WindAtMyBack]

You should change your name to "click-bait".

[Nikki1989]

She is really a guy.

[WindAtMyBack]

@Nikki1989
Very likely. But either way it's click-bait.

[wiltingrosepetal]

No, they should put their feet up and watch the newest Seinfeld episode with a beer in their hands. Come on, it's 2024, I think we're long past this debate 😭

[Billlewis]

In most cases, absolutely not. m I'm very disappointed if the woman I'm dating won't let me do all of her household chores in their entirety.

[Billlewis]

I apparently misread the question and failed to answer it correctly. I think guys should do as much housework as possible.

[NathanDavis]

I do own my own houses... take care of them as well

[Twalli]

Your housework load should be opposite your breadwinner work. My mommafe more money than my dad. So he did most of the housework. I make a lot more than my girlfriend so outside of cleaning the toilet, she does all thr housework.

It always asks these type of questions

[Sevenpointfive]

i don't have any of those and i'm not paying someone to do it, so i do it on Sundays

[DaBiggestBird]

Even if you have a wife that is at home most of the time, it wouldn’t hurt to do a wee bit. Besides, it’s probably healthy like 13 hours of sleep.

[ChiTown33]

If you live in the house you should do housework. That's wife, husband, kids,... I'll give the baby a pass do to lack of motor skills.🤣

[longjump89]

I have no problem being the stay-at-home-dad, but most women won't find it appealing. They want a man who possesses masculine traits like leadership and strength. It will only be exuded when he is the provider.

[exitseven]

yes, relationships are supposed to be a partnership.

[Booklover_90]

I don’t know what you think marriage is, but it’s not a master/slave situation. Therefore, the husband should absolutely do chores as well. Chores is not “woman’s work.”

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

I don't see why not since he lives there but personally I don't like doing house work of any kind at all.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Yes, they should. It's important to know how to clean and cook, whether you live by yourself or not.

[Awesomesauce2005]

Of course, as long as he doesn't work 50+ hours a week.

[soe11]

• It's an outdated version.
• This is 21st century.
• Equality rights and responsibilities.
• I do shared with my girlfriend.
• I believe she she is human like me.
• We must respect every female.

[Iron_Man]

Yes, when we’re alone what choice do we have?

[Nikki1989]

This troll is really a man. The account should be frozen.

[Tamera952]

I think that sounds crazy. I can’t believe you’re even asking that! Are you just trolling us?
Men (for sure) can, should, and do, do housework.

[bannacookies]

Yeah, if there's a woman at home not working, she should do it because (I assume) she is the less busy one. But, if both are working, perhaps both can split it.

[Peridot25]

How would he survive on his own without knowing how to learn basic things to survive?

[Yannae]

It's part of basic skill set for survival. Of course we should.

[Yoursweetgirl]

Why? Are those women men's servants or what?
Everyone should do housework.

[coxoabean]

I agree with you with you

[Astarlessnightsky]

Of course they should.

[MacDaddyRico]

Men should do housework regardless of whether there's a woman around.

[DrPepper12]

Of course they should!

[Caroline91]

Everyone should help out.

[impalabill77]

I do. Well my dormroom.

[mayurr]

Those are basic skills everyone should know.

[LaurenM1997]

I disagree they should fork out and help

[MrsVioletta]

Huriiişşş burada napyosun

i do it every day

[Radiate143]

That's absurd.

[Fireguy17]

sure, why not, I live here too.

[Ilovepeace67]

Yes they should!

[Ladybossj]

Yes agree

[Arik_jade]

I think men should help women..

[dudeinohio]

Sounds good to me.

[noohair]

I suck at housework.

[legalboxers]
