That’s a great set up! It isn’t that way at my house! But I do put my foot down when it comes to the man jobs! I won’t budge on those!

Since me & my husband both work the same schedule & have no kids, I expect a bit more help around the house. Lord knows I’m not his mom.

I make dinner, he puts the dishes in the dishwasher, I put them away from the dishwasher, he takes out the trash.

Truth be told I end up doing most the housework still- he seems oblivious to dust, grime on kitchen counters, dirt on floors, and he’s never cleaned the toliet in our house. Never the less, I expect to be helped if we are both working the same schedule. Just expect to have to tell him what needs to be done, because he doesn’t see it! Which is annoying, one hates to be a nag…

I love that your sweetie chimed in there at the end! In our home, his only “inside chores” are cleaning the boys’ bathroom (which he usually does because …ICK! they are 8 yrs and 7 yrs. old), the dishes (he has hung onto this one because each time I was pregnant doing the dishes made me VERY sick – just couldn’t handle those smells) and taking out the garbage and, naturally, he handles the “fixing” of things. It’s a good trade around here.

You should include shoveling snow with the grass mowing. Def a man job!

I think the freedom that has come to relationships in the last few years means the freedom to do what works for you as a couple. I’ve been married for 30 years, happily married I might ad and for the most part I do the traditional woman roles and my husband the male things like garbage duty, all the outside stuff regarding snow and leaves and grass..etc. We chose these because we do the things that we are better at. He does also do dishes and I do all the bills. Since we are older and are kids are grown, we also employ outside help in areas when we can to give ourselves a break after all these years of doing chores! It helps to start the chore assignments by each person doing the things they really don’t mind doing, or are simply better at. That’s a good beginning and no matter what “category” it falls into, traditional or modern, it doesn’t matter. You are both unique people, work it out uniquely. The key is, do the work to work it out!
