That does depend on the House and who provides the income. If only one income provider then the other keeps the house. If both work then they share the chores around the house.

Also does the Housework include the Yard and Garage.

I have no problem cleaning indoors and actually find it easier than doing the Yard Work.

I do it all myself now so I don't see why that would change if I were to ever get married. It would be nice to have someone else to share the workload though.
The traditional male/female roles don't apply in my world. I think it's a load of BS to be honest.

The traditional male/female rules were made up in the what? 1800's and early 1900's?

Nowadays, I find it completely different. I agree with Drags, if there is only one income earner, then the other one should do the majority of house work, however I still think the income earner should do some things. I expect they wouldn't just come home sit down and expect a silver platter served up to them.

If they both work, then they both need to share the load.

Any male that expects the female to do everything when they both work full time is beyond me and if I was with a man like that, well, I wouldn't be anyway.

Harry, I do it all myself too and have done for many years and when someone offers to do something for me, I won't let them lol... Put Urs to good use while she is there rolling on the floor laughing

It takes time and Money to maintain that Barbie Doll figure and look.

I don't see how they have time to do anything.

No The Male should be chief Cook and bottlewasher and everything else.

Then if he has the stamina after working all day and cleaning and cooking in the evening for his barbie doll wife, he just may be able to go and enjoy his Barbie Doll Wife.

If she doesn't have headache over stressing over a broken nail. laugh laugh laugh

Both work to earn enough money to pay someone else to do it. It solves a lot of arguments and gives you more time to do other funnn thingsbanana

During married life, house keeping is shared. After separation and divorce it is customery that the women keep the house and the men keeps the mortgage.

Um....not always the case, when my ex and i seperated we sold the house and both brought what we could afford. He has a higher income so a nicer house and pays for a cleaner,good for him, i still do the cleaning myself and i am ok with that.
If i was in another live in relationship i think whoever worked the least hours should spend the most time on the housework.....but doesnt mean they should be required to do all of it.
As for the gardens etc, something to do together.

Look no matter how much we want to argue on the issue of who's job the house work is we know that it's the women that end up doing most of it and if the man takes his dishes to the sink...he's just climbed Mt Everest(my dad does anyway) but I think it's a man's job not only to earn the bread but to also support his woman. He should be observant enough to see when she needs something, some time off.....so he can take care of things while the woman takes a break. I think a man can be a breadearner and be actively involved in helping out his partner.

Womens job , along with looking after the kids
and cooking the food :-)

LOL ....

It really depends on the situation if the guy
is working all day and the female/partner is
at home or part time job then they should
consider the other and help out more .

The last thing a guy wants is to leave home at 5.30
come home at 7pm monday to friday then be expected to
clean the whole house on the weekend .

Equal would have been my reply back at anytime when i was married - now i am retired on a vets pension and about to have "home help" arranged. Housework should be nobody's job. Itis far less important than enjoying every day, enjoying the people who are part of our lives (no matter for how long) and enjoying this beautifull world we live in.

Just my thoughts, but hell I dont do it any more.
