Meh, water under the whore-ass bridge now, I have a much better person in my life now. :)
ChemEnhanced, I don't necessarily disagree with your overall idea... if a person is unemployed and sits on their ass all day, then sure, they shouldn't expect the breadwinner to come home and work all night too. I just know that in my situation, keeping up with our toddler (quite a firecracker) is more than a full-time job. I've stayed home before and I don't envy her for one second. Everyone's home situation is different, YMMV, and all that. |

I do nothing around the house....I work all day and she doesn't. If she wants me to do something around the house then she can go get a job. |
When I get married, my wife won't be working and she knows she'll be in charge of most daily chores til she gets a job. Its only fair. |

She makes the sandwich. I tell her when.
Seriously, for some things we break down tasks, like laundry, where she'll put it in the washer and then dry it but it's up to me to put it away. I do a lot of the cooking, but she likes to cook and bake a lot, too. I do the "fix-it" stuff, like hanging blinds and curtains - anything where I get to use my power-tools. :D |

How do you divide up the chores around the house? Do you share the work equally? Does each person have specific tasks to tend to? Do you do your own laundry, or does your partner do it for you? Is the work split up by man stuff/chick stuff? Does one of you do more work than the other?
What goes on?! |
My Wife and I have a pretty easy and even split:
> I clean the house every Thursday.
> Whoever cooks (we both cook) the other does the dishes
> I take care of the yardwork
> She takes care of the animals. (no small feat with 3 cats and 2 dogs.)
> She does the laundry.
Been married 2 years in June and this seems to work out well for us! |

| As a side note, did you know that's more beneficial for men to be married than it is for women? Married men show markedly better health than unmarried men, while there appears to be no difference for married women. Way to go you ing soul suckers. :mad: |

| Probably has more to do with unmarried men than anything else. |

| Well it has to do with both. The point is that marriage benefits men, but not women. |

A toddler is an entirely different story.....that in itself is a full time job. |

| I'm sure they have a difficult time quantifying emotional confirmation though, at least uniformly amongst the sexes. Marriage for women is probably more about expectation than anything else, so it's no wonder they are disappointed. :p |

| I'm talking about health, not expectations. Although emotional health is a factor. Anyway, I didn't just pull that out of my ass. It's a well documented phenomenon. |
