No chores for boys

| My husband only gives chores to his two daughters, who are 12 and 14, but not his sons, who are 16 and 11. The girls are responsible for cleaning the kitchen, living areas, every night, and taking turns with the bathrooms and laundry. My husband insists that chores aren't something boys should do, and that his boys aren’t good at doing chores. My stepdaughters have been complaining about doing chores and think that it’s unfair, and they’ve shared their frustration with me. How would you handle this? |

The problem is being conservative is necessary, but not sufficient, for being a great husband. |

| I'd be very upset with my DH. He's raising terrible future husbands. Does your DH do nothing at home either? |

| This cannot be real. You had to have known this before you married him and you married him anyway? Ugh. What a pig. |

The way to get better at doing chores is to practice doing them.
Does your husband do chores in the house? |

Weaponized incompetence being taught to the boys.
OP, any particular reason you married this guy? Sounds like it's time to get out, particularly if these girls or boy are yours. |

Absolutely false. I hope the original post is true, but if it is, absolutely shut it down, now. |

New policy: no working for free either.
She or she who works / does chores, and does them well, gets paid for them. And they get paid by the task, not by how long they spend getting them done. |

I married him because he’s a kind, handsome man, and he’s very well off. |

No, he doesn’t. |

| Your husband is not a good man. He will not have a good relationship with his daughters nor will he have a good outcome for his sons. |

Well there you go. Why did you marry this loser? |
