Mainly I do everything even though I work full time because it`s like he doesn`t know how to do any of it right. Since I`m so up tight about it all like how to fold the towels and where things go in the kitchen, I don`t complain that he doesn`t help out at all. This morning I was pissed, though, because I get up every morning a half an hour early so that I can make him a good breakfast, pack his lunch, take care of the dogs and chickens, and clean up. But this morning when the `breakfast is ready alarm` went off he let it ring for like two straight minutes and I had to go in and set the snooze and tell him that breakfast was on the table and was getting cold. So then I took care of the dogs and he still wasn`t eating breakfast I went back and he still hadn`t gotten up. Finally when he was eating I asked him to either take down the tailgate of the truck(which is broken so I can`t do it) or take out the boxes from the back of the car (which I can`t do because I`m six months pregnant.) Well, he eats and then just goes straight back to bed to wait for his `get up and go to work` alarm to go off. I`m already late, so I go in there and tell him that I can`t do either one of those things and if he wasn`t going to do it, he should have told me so I could at least not be late to work. I think that if I`m going to take the time to make him breakfast and pack his lunch for him and take care of the animals, he should do that one little thing for me without me having to nag him! Sorry, just frustrated right now.

Im a sahm now but only since being 7 months pregnant with my 3rd who is 4 months. Before then I worked full time and commuted. Still did everything in the house-Cleaning, cooking, shopping etc. My husband works extremely hard, much harder than Ive had to, so as long as he fixes things that break, deals with anything car related, yard stuff, heavy stuff and taking out the trash, Ive always been happy to do everything else!

We both work full time. My husband helps out more than he used since having our son. He mows, but I have to remind him when it`s time. Here recently, he started washing his own clothes, but I put them away. I do all the other laundry and put it away. When I ask for help, he eventually helps...after several requests.

I was due to go back to work on Tuesday 19th May, but ended up having an opertion. DH took the 1st week off and he did EVERYTHING. Cooking, Cleaning, Washing, Ironing, bathing the kids, driving 1hr to see me. The following week my mum came to stay and he still did alot to help as I still can`t move. He is having next week off as well and again will have to do it all. He always did help out before and knew there was a lot to do, but because he has HAD to do ALL of it he now truely realises what gets done. When I do return to work we will split the work 50/50. He can do anything I can do (obviously not to my standard lol) but I think men should help out, even if they work and the wife does not. It seems to be ok for a man to say right 5:30pm, works finished im done for the day, a mother cannot do that, they carry on working, 24/7. I am so lucky that when DH comes home we both continue to `work` both bath the kids, clear up dinner, and both sit down together at the same time in the evening. Sorry for the long reply lol

Since we both work full time we pretty much split everything evenly. I refuse to do all the housework so if he doesn`t help and I`m too exhausted it just won`t get done. So I cook he does dishes...he cleans as far as puts away things and I disinfect...I do laundry and he puts away and sometimes folds if I`m too tired...he pulls weeds and mows the lawn, I take care of watering and trimming the plants and hedges...as far as our son goes our son determines who he wants to play with lol

When we are both home we split it all eveningly as far as the kids ~ Dan loves to give the baths/showers so he does it more then me. Dan does laundry, I put it away. We both cook but I do most of it. He vacuums as much as me. He mows the lawn I dont. Hubby didnt at one point in our marraige help as much as he should have and it caused problems and I almost left him. We both choose to have a family so we both should raise and care for them ~ we both agree with this and both do our best to do our share :) Becuase he works I do more but only while he works. When he is home we share it.

I am asking because after a long time on this website, it still shocks me to see working moms who say they do all the home stuff themselves too. My husband and I both work full time, and I would never put up with him lazing around the house while I took care of everything. So I am curious to see how the numbers come out!
