Shouldn't be surprising at all.

Leading is about a willingness to be last in order to be first. You do what needs to be done in the moment to achieve the desired goal. Sometimes that means delegation, other times that means doing it yourself. All this "men can only do certain things talk" is the true sign of a beta male, stop letting these bs manospheres fool you into something different. It's a reason why the best kings in history went out to battle with their troops.

It goes without saying.

To lead, it must be by example as with your mouth.

Treat it as a at home date/couples activity and it will help your relationship

Are most cohabiting households dependent on one income in 2022?

If both people work full time, and contribute to the bills, I can see sharing the household chores.


If the man is paying all the bills, then the woman should do the majority of the housework. I can understand the man helping with kids when he gets home to give the woman a break, but washing dishes, and vacuuming shouldn’t be a man’s role if he’s paying all the bills.

:manny:

This is the arrangement I currently have. She has student loans, and I’m not paying them. She is continuing to work until they are paid off. She also pays for groceries, and her own gas, car insurance, car payment, clothes, makeup, etc. I pay the rest of the bills. I don’t sit around and starve, and I’ll wash a dish here and there, but I don’t do most of the indoors household work because I pay the bills.

:unimpressed:

A successful marriage is built on mutual understanding and respect for each other's roles. If I'm at work for 12 hours while shes at home, I expect to come home to a clean home and cooked food. If shes not willing to clean up after herself and our children while she's at home, then she needs to work and bring money into the home. Pops and granddad always showed respect and appreciation for mom or big mama because they took care of the house and spent the money wisely. nikkas would be amazed to realize how far their mothers or grandmothers could stretch a dollar when they went shopping. They were magicians with the money and planning. Thats what a home maker was. She was still putting in work.

If shes not able to do that, then we can divide the housework but shes gotta be out here making money too. I'm not okay with raising an overgrown child who can't cook, cleanup after herself or be trusted to spend the house money responsibly. Lot of women out here being encouraged to seek men who will do everything for them and give nothing in return. Its not shocking that these relationships break down.

Division of labor has always been a thing and it has not always been women don't work or men don't do household things. Even in hunter/gatherer times, women gathered but also hunted small game, while men got big game and prepared it for eating. With farming it was even more important for the entire family to have their specific duties (including the kids) to ensure that everything ran smoothly. In the 1950s in these nuclear families ppl often worship, if they had one income, Mom did indoor housework and Dad did outside stuff like repairs and lawn maintenance.

Today where most households are 2 incomes because most can't afford just 1 income, it makes sense that since the financial burden is shared that the household duties also be shared (although there are plenty of married single moms out here).
