Watching an old Dr. Phil

Early this morning, I was watching an old Dr. Phil on OWN. There was a woman that authored a book titled "Get off your butt and out of my Wallet." LOL The program was about men not working and taking care of the home but not doing any housework, no cooking and their child is way behind in language development. I say throw him out!!! HOw about you?

kindness is strength

@Katcat1 I say she is living with a problem and she can do something about it. HER choice.

The problem with traditional men's chores vs. women's is the men can put off their chores until after the game or the next day or whatever. Mowing for example.

But women can't tell the kids she'll feed them tomorrow.

I don't think men understand you can mow once every 2 weeks but you can't clean a bathroom once every 2 weeks. So even if you divide the chores, the women always get the short end of the stick because womens chores must be done regularly and on time.

Ex husband only did what he wanted, when he wanted. Whether it was taking out trash or mowing or whatever because that's a man's job. it's actually a form of abuse, it's a dictatorship. He makes the rules and I had to follow. That's one reason he's an EX.

Now my late husband was a jewel. If he saw dirt or dust, he wiped it. We did chores together. I did not expect him to do traditional chores, I know how to use a screwdriver. If a handle came loose, I'd tighten it, not blame him for not doing it.

Each partner should generally be able to do all chores without labeling them. There are exceptions of course when strength or height might be a factor.

Having said this, it's up to each family to do what they both agree on.
