[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why aren't you also working in the kitchen?[/quote]

Why are you not.... helping mow the grass, rake the leaves, shovel the snow, take care of car maintenance,  chop wood for the fire place, helping paint the deck or power wash the patio furniture, or outside on the hottest day of the summer standing over a 500* grille cooking burgers an dog for larla's friends...

I do all those things. [/quote]

Your husband is a deadbeat. Want a new one?[/quote]

No we do all those chores as a team. He also cooks 2 times a week, I cook 2 times a week, leftovers 1 day, eat out 1 day and we usually have plans with friends 1 day.

He also does laundry... so do I... so do my kids.

He is not a child and I am not a princess. We are adults. It's called team work.

If you earn the same amount of money as you DH, you dhare work 50/50. If your DH earns 4x than you do, I think you should do 80% of housework. Likewise if DW earns 4x than husband, DH should do 80% of housework. Bottomline total contribution to family should be the same either on a $ contributed or in time contributed[/quote]

Not if they both work outside the house the same amount. Say I make 50,000 working full time and she makes 100,000 working full time outside the house. We both work full time. Do I still have to do twice the amount of housework as her?

It's about making an equal effort. Right now I earn more than my husband but we have about the same work load outside of household responsibilities. We make an equal effort at home. We get about the same amount of leisure time. We both eat, wear clothes, and live in a home that gets buried under a mountain of leaves  this time of year. So we both shop, cook, do laundry, and rake.

The disgruntled MRAs on this board will bitch about this until the cows come home.  They'll say women nag for this and men who accept it are "beta." But it's the way grown people who respect each other live. [/quote]
