Men, How would you??

  • Even when I'm working 10 or 12 hour days I still hit the gym on the way home and share all the household chores. And mine works for the school board so she's home before me, has a million days off and doesn't work all summer.
    I respect the work she puts in and the money she earns. I didn't hire a maid, we got involved in a mutually respectful, loving relationship.

    Now if your HB is off defending the nation or curing cancer I think I'd expect to have to do everything. Beyond any crazy circumstances .... he should feel obligated to help out.

    How do you want him to show his appreciation? That's what matters. Everyone is different ...

    For me it's lots and lots of great sex. Some women might find this to be just another chore. But, I find that I am perfectly happy to take care of everything (cooking, cleaning, laundry, keeping myself looking good, working full time +, etc) as long as I get the appreciation in the bedroom ;-)

    Funny, my ex-husband used to do all the housework, cooking, taking care of the kids, taking out the garbage because of how much he appreciated me in the bedroom....

    It is absolutely a mutually rewarding cycle of events. I enjoy doing all of the household chores (I'm a bit OCD) so, this is where I like to see the appreciation for that.

    What are you on?

    Um ... I'm not "ON" anything. What leads you to believe that I am "ON" something? Perhaps, I don't understand the question.

    Bwahahaha! I love you Windy!

    Seriously, I do stay home full time, and my hubs still doesn't expect me to do EVERYTHING. He knows I need a day off too. Oh, and lots of.great sex shouldn't be a payment for things you do.

    It's not payment. I'm obviously being completely misunderstood. But, this is exactly why I rarely post responses on message boards. If you don't like my response, move on and post your own thing. Please do not reference my post, criticize or pick apart my posts.
    Thank you.

    My wife works full time, but I do all the the above and work part time as well. And I still appreciate my wife with foot rubs, back rubs, and getting her spa days.

    Gotta say I agree with this...when my last ex and I were together, I took care of his place b/c I stayed there the more than my own. I can't just sit on my *kitten* in a messy house, won't happen. I want it clean and smelling good. However, I did want a thank you and kisses...and sex...:laugh:

    Sorry I'm not married.

    A wedding is like a funeral, but with musicians.

    I used to be like that and started demanding him to do some things for me because trying to do everything on my own perfectly all the damn time was starting to burn me out, which = no put out, which = unhappy man, which ends up with = cranky naggy irritable mommy. So from a fellow SAHM who tried to do it all and be the quintessential perfect house wife, just make sure sexy time part of that routine or all hell breaks loose (at least round these parts). LOL.

    LOL Are you from the movie the Stepford wives?! :D Jealous of your ability to still have energy for the nookie after all the toddler/child manipulation screaming and constant cleaning/cooking.

    Appreciate your wife if she works full time, cooks almost every night, cleans(no split house work), does the laundry, takes care of the kids and pretty much keeps anything and everything running smoothly?

    What would i do...well i would assume i was now living in some parallel universe where my lovely wife does all these things.. because that's what I do now ,with the exception of the laundry( i do mine but she does all the rest minus the occasional time I'll do a load of towels which should not count as doing laundry). I do work 12 hour days but only 48 a week so i am around all the time.

    My wife is pretty awesome like that. I help out as much as possible with housework, and the kids are a split duty. She has them in the morning, I have them at night. I try to keep her happy. Take her out whenever we get the chance. Give her a night off of cooking when she's off work. I'm faithful, honest, and trust worthy. I pay all of the bills, bought us a house, maintain the yard, built her a garden, taught her how to shoot guns. I buy her diamonds when I get the chance too. Other than that I tell her I love her everyday, always treat her with respect, and give her sexy lovin when she wants!

    I "like" this guy!! More men like this needed....
