How much does your man really do for you?

Question

Ladies, what kind of gentelman do you have? Does he work full time? Does he help you every way he can? Take out the garbage, pick up after himself? Cook / Clean? Does he do the grocery shopping? Or do you have to cater to his wants and needs with not much in return? In my opinion, everything should be 50/50. Even if you are a stay at home girlfriend/wife, you deserve a break at times too.. right?

Answer

My husband & I both work full time, although I work a few more hours than he does. We make about equal, with him making slightly more. Normal middle class family. He doesn’t wash dishes (we’ve gone to hell and back about this 😠), but he’ll take the trash out when I ask. He’ll vacuum & do laundry, but the majority of the housework is on me & it gets frustrating at times. He was an only child & mommas boy if that tells you anything😂, so I’m still breaking him of his habit of leaving his boxers on the bathroom floor for me to pick up like a child lolol 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️

Answer

I’m so blessed to have a fiancé that truly takes care of me. He knows when I’ve had a bad day at work and he always picks up the extra slack. And I do the same for him! We take turns cooking, cleaning, laundry, walking & feeding the dogs..every little thing. We don’t expect things from each other, we just work as a team. We don’t keep score of who did what last...we just go off of each other’s vibes and it works really well. He will be a great husband, and hopefully dad someday ❤️

Answer

We both work full time. He cooks some days and cleans. He will do the laundry when it’s full. We are a partnership... and 100% share household responsibilities.

Answer

we both work full time, have a 5 yo and a baby on the way. before I got pregnant I was doing most of the work at home, but he still cooked a lot, took the garbage out when asked to and routinely took care of the dishes. after I got pregnant I was terribly sick all the time, so he had to take care of EVERYTHING. well, he complained a lot about being overworked and I just assumed he had stepped up and was dealing with everything... until one day I emerged from the bedroom and saw that the house was a freaking garbage dump. I lost my shit that day and I'm not proud of what I said and how, but from that day on he has been wonderful and taken awesome care of our house. I'm now fully confident that when baby comes we'll have no issues. 
tl;Dr: I'm preggo and he's been doing EVERYTHING in the house plus working full time.

Answer

I know I have it made but I do complain to my husband. We both work full time but he also works a second job. He pays all of the House bills and utilities. I pay for the groceries and anything that pertains to the maintenance of the house. He takes out the garbage and loads the dishwasher occasionally. I wash the clothes, do the most of the cleaning, and I cook.  When I’m having a rough week and the floors are nasty (we have three dogs) I give him my opinion on helping me more.  
He has been a godsend though.  After i found out we are expecting he’s been doing a lot more for me though. The other night we were laying down and i told him his child is not going to know his voice because he’s never home anymore (2 jobs). So he talked to my belly for  a while and then turned to me and said “i want you to know i will always provide for you and our baby, you will never go without” We are going nursery furniture shopping and he’s buying me maternity clothes today (he never buys me clothes so I’m taking Him up on it). This is my second marriage, I always said I’d never get married again but he’s too good to be true.

Answer

We both take care of myself each other. If I cook he does the dishes. We do the grocery shopping together. We are equal partners. splitting up the chores 50/50😊😊

Answer

You should both be putting 1000 % in a relationship. I cook and clean and do laundry and maintain the house. He takes out the trash when I ask him, he does the cat litter. He does his laundry (i rather he not do mine...some needs special attention) when I can't, he picks up food if I'm feeling bad. He holds me when something hurts. I hold him when he needs support. He works and supports us and tries to give me everything I want. He gives me everything I need. But we are partners. We each give and take. I don't cater to him and he doesn't cater to me but we certainly take care of each other.

Answer

We both work full time, but opposite shifts. He's also in the National Guard and has a moving business on the side. He usually does some housework when he gets home in the morning after I leave. I typically do more, just because he has training or side jobs frequently. I also pay bills and grocery shop. He's been doing more housework lately because I'm pregnant and get worn out quickly.
