Do you share household chores with husband?

Question

I’m just wondering what if any chores your husband does in the household, if he’s the only one leaving everyday to go to work🧐 My husband seems to think he should only have to go to work and that’s it. Is that really fair?

Answer

My boyfriend is the same exact way he thinks I shouldn’t get stressed out and if I do pretty much just not tell him because when he gets home he needs some relax time usually by himself and all I can think about is when do I get my relax time my off day my quitting time. We have a 15 month old son 2 grown big dogs a cat and a puppy and I literally do everything around the house clean up after EVERYONE all he does it goes to work. How can I not be stressed specially when it turns into a big thing if I ask him for some help or he gets mad at me when I’m clearly stressed because it’s stressing him out like damn when can something be about me... sorry for the rant.

Answer

I don't share as much as I can, he helps with random stuff here and there but it's usually of his own volition. If I ask for little favors (can you bring me such and such, run the dogs out, etc.) He does without complaint. But I try to keep up on everything by myself. He works 5 days a week as a corrections officer, 8-12 hour days and randomly gets deployed to other facilities for anywhere up to a month or more. 
So, when he gets home I'm just like

Go shit, shower and sit down and game so I can do my shit.

Answer

My husband takes the trash out once a week, keeps the litter box clean, cooks dinner a few times a week, does the dishes like once a week. But he's kind of a slob and doesn't pick up after himself very well. He leaves his dirty clothes all over the bedroom floor, and never puts anything back from where he got it. Ugh. 
I stay home with our 6mo old and watch a 4mo old 4 days a week.

Answer

I don’t think it’s fair, it’s not like you’re not working. You just don’t work outside the home and unfortunately don’t get paid for all your hard work. My husband doesn’t do as much around the house as I do, but he still does the cat litter, takes out the trash, and does the laundry (doesn’t put away though because apparently the concept of putting things back in the drawer they were found in is ridiculous- you’re just supposed to dig until you find something 😂)
