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.

Your husband is a deadbeat. Want a new one?

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

I don't look at it that way. My H works 50 hours a week, I work 40 ... I make more. I don't have him do more housework because I make more money.

Let's me be a SAHM as well as manage the household, childcare, food, etc so I can work towards my dream of being a Zumba instructor/private trainer.

Buy her an expensive gift, return it and show her the paper trail. It just saves her so much time.

I swear to God, just say thank you more. Whatever she does that makes your life easier, instead of taking it for granted like it's in her job description, ACTUALLY THANK HER. My husband did this the other day when I booked a flight for our son while he was at work. I let him know I had gotten it booked and he said "Thank you" instead of just okay or good. And it really made me feel appreciated.

Why aren't you also working in the kitchen?

Message: don't try to be affectionate. You're doing it wrong.
