if you count helping out with making sure the couch doesn't go anywhere

my so does EVERYTHING! he`s actually downstairs doing laundry and cleaning the bathroom right now...lol

He`s vacuuming right now, lol! He doesn`t do it all the time, like maybe once a month, but he does a great job cleaning :) Bathrooms, floors, dusting, vacuuming, laundry, it`s a big help! But he hates being told what to do so I have to just wait for him to get in that cleaning mood, lol....

My husband WILL do things to help around the house, but always does a half-ass job! Most times, I think he does this because he really doesn`t know HOW to do it right but I also think that every now and then he does a bad job on purpose so I don`t ask him to do it again! He just doesn`t know how to clean!

My fiance works full time, but on his days off will help me get the house in shape, i do the general house work when he is working, then me,him and the kids do a biig tidy up when we are all at home.he also loves cooking and is good at it x

DH and I both work full time so we do an equal share of the house work. Sometimes when he is off and I am at work I need to write him a list...He is a man at the end of the day lol sometimes he doesnt see things that need doing like I do. But he is generally really good, also the days we are both at work he finishes earlier than me, gets the kids, baths them and gets them ready for bed, then comes to pick me up. When we get home he will get started on dinner and I will get the kids off to bed and do any laundry that needs doing, we have got into a pretty good routine now

I must confess that DH does more than I do. He does all of the laundry, most of the cooking (he loves to experiment!), 50/50 dishes, floors, bathroom, all of the lawn stuff (I have horrible allergies--can`t even go outside until the day after he`s done), and anything that I ask. Makes me seem quite lazy!

My husband is the breadwinner (Army)... He regularly does dishes, laundry, floors, takes care of the dogs (we live upstairs)... and today he shampooed the carpets... He cooks and grills... He doesn`t do so much for the kiddo, he`s not much of a baby guy but I usually don`t mind, except I`m pregnant now and would like more breaks from the little one..

armymom (865.2 days ago)
he helps ALOT.. with cleaning (mostly dishes and laundry) and playing or taking our son out to the park or something so I can get some alone time. He was deployed my whole pregnancy and until our son was 6 months old so being able to spend as much time with him now is really special to him. He deploys again next august. He`s an awesome husband/father and I probably don`t give him enough credit. He does everything I ask and more.

JustTha5ofUs (865.2 days ago)
he does 50/50 with all three kids, ALL the cleaning, ALL the washing, vacuming, sweeping, mopping, scrubbing bathrooms, washin the cars, mowin the grass, i think i just got lucky

bethk (865.2 days ago)

abbyquiet (865.2 days ago)
my husband will do just about anything i ask him to do. i have to ask, and it usually takes him a while to get off his but and do it. but he will. he also does the dishes sometimes... but only when he`s mad at me or frustrated. lol.

My hubby does more than he used to. He grills every once in a while. Up to about a month ago, he never cooked. He also keeps the girls play room straightened up. Other than that, he creats mess by leaving things out of place. Gotta love him though :-)Sometimes I wish he would do more, but we are headed in the right direction.

onesharpefamily (865.3 days ago)
My husband does more than I do for the most part, but he`s the stay at home parent at the moment and I`m working fulltime.

kickboxerbaby (865.3 days ago)
My husband does the laundry, puts the dishes away and makes our bed in the am. He also does all the lawn work. But most importantly he cleans the bathroom!

nutnut (865.3 days ago)

TwinklinBrwnEyes (865.3 days ago)
My husband is the bread winner and works hella lot of hours. I recieve VERY little help from him, which is ok, I understand, but when he`s off It sure would be nice if he did a dish or two....forget it =S He`s never cooked a meal in his life =S =S

Mommy with three cuties! (865.3 days ago)
My husband is wonderful. : ) He cooks,cleans,does the laundry and helps with the kids. : ) Not that I don`t do anything of these things. He thinks that stay at home mom`s need a break too. : )

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
