Thsi weekend i had my first aid course. and i come home and marcus who has been home alone all day( as jenna was at her dads) didnt touch the dishes and the basket of clean laundry that was in the livign stayed in one spot. the laundry down stairs( 5 loads were not touched)!! and the living room not vaccuumed, and toys everywhere. Guess where he was? sitting on the computer playing games. I asked why he never did anything and why he didnt hlep with the housework.. and he says well i was watching a couple shows... MULTITASK DUDE! I love this man but sometimes he frustrates me...

moped replied: I don't know if it is any man but I know that is par for the course here.......TV all the time.

Trust me it gets old!

luvmykids replied: I don't get it...what part of that suprises you?

stella6979 replied: All the more reason I love Jeff so much. LOL! He helps out so much that at times I find myself being lazy.

A&A'smommy replied: because some men are dumb j/k I dunno because they are mean!!! Jeremiah's excuse is he works and I stay at home and he KNOWS that gets to me but he has specific jobs at home too....anyway I have some friends that both work also and they have specific jobs and then the others they swap up and it seems to work really well for them!!

punkeemunkee'smom replied:
I was wondering the same thing! So did you need to use your first aid skills,Shelly?

Hillbilly Housewife replied:
Serously. Did you really think he wasn't gonna pick up his gaunchies too? lol Just wait. They'll be on the bathroom floor sooner than you think.

gr33n3y3z replied:
exactly bc woman do it for them so why bother Duhhhhh.............

But I will have to say it doesnt happen in our house

mummy2girls replied:
starting too and we are not even married...LOLOLOL

mummy2girls replied:
i know it shouldnt surprise me.. but because he heard me complain because ive been doing it ALL by myself because of being a single mom he said that he will help me more and not to worry. I guess it was a pipe dream...LOL

mummy2girls replied:
Thanks! LOL...

lisar replied:
LOL...

Kaitlin'smom replied: yep same thing if he is busy he says he will get to ot later, what that really means to me well if you dont do it I will eventually......drives me crazy. I am trying to get the house cleaned out and if he wont help maintain whats done I have to start over again and it wont ever get done. We both work so we dont nag to often but somedays I am so sick of my own home.

TheOaf66 replied: hey we're not all like that, some of us do contribute

msoulz replied:
It is true - they are capable and do contribute but as it was well put before, why should they if their women do it for them? My DH is awesome at that - but he doesn't put stuff back in its place when he is done with projects - and I leave drawers and cupboards open all the time - so I pick up stuff and he closes doors and drawers! It is good teamwork.

But then, we all need days where we just watch TV too and maybe that was Marcus' day - maybe next time your dishes and laundry will be done!

TheOaf66 replied: I admit I am not up to the level Jennie is, but I do dishes, laundry, vacuum, etc...I just have issues with small things like crumbs and not picking things up right away

My2Beauties replied: I must say that Brian is the "cleaner" in our house My job is the kitchen mainly, he does laundry, vacuum, pick up odd and end stuff (toys, clothes), make the bed etc... He really is good about cleaning, I'm the bad one

My2Beauties replied:
...you're kidding right because honey you're in for a world of rude awakenings if you think that attitude will fly with the women of today!! If my DH ever said something that sexist he'd probably end up with a concussion.

Calimama replied:
Very true, my DH is amazing.. although he has his moments.

grapfruit replied: Tim skirts the housework as much as he can. The other day he said he picked up the living room for me...I couldn't tell the difference!! I didn't have the heart to tell him though.

Every now and again he surprises me though...

stella6979 replied:
It must be that Marine training. LOL! Jeff always tells me that's where he got it from. I remember when we first started dating and I let him sleep over for the first time. Well when I got home from work the next day he was on his hands and knees scrubbing my bathroom floor with a toothbrush. I knew right then, he was a keeper.

Calimama replied:
LOL.. too funny. Maybe that's what it is, because he'll work for HOURS cleaning, and then makes me "come check it"... just like he does for the guys in his platoon.

gr33n3y3z replied:
Oh but see right here woman clean up after the men so why would he think diffrent?

luvbug00 replied:

Lars is the cleaner in this apartment too. in fact he borderlines obsessive.

Anthony275 replied:
ok number one i wasnt being serious, number two i do all those things around the house

luvmykids replied:
I get your point....most of us WILL do it rather than nag so in my house anyway, that statement is true, DH doesn't HAVE to because I will

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: My DH helps out a lot, but definitely lacks the skill of multi-tasking. And Shelley, guys just don't see things we do. If you don't ask them to put away the laundry, they typically won't because they just don't see it there! Whenever I get out for a bit on my own, I come home to a messy house and the kids are jumping off the walls. I ask DH "what have you been doing all this time?" and he always says, watching the kids. I tell him, okay, but what about the clean laundry sitting in the basket or the dishes in the sink, or getting the kids bathed? He says, but I was watching the kids! He can literally only do one task at a time. We're just geared differenty, because I can scrub the toilets, wash dishes, fold laundry, talk on the phone, get the kids dressed, etc etc - maybe not at the same time, but in the same hour or so. My DH seriously took a long nap yesterday afternoon because he was so exhausted from the kids. While he was napping, I was deep cleaning the entire house for my parents visit AND watching the kids.

I knew you were kidding!

redchief replied: I contribute a little. I think Lisa's so happy for whatever she'll get from my lazy butt, that she never complains.

Calimama replied:
Funny stuff.

Cece00 replied: John helps out some. I wish it was more but its better than nothing. And he always helps out a lot when it counts, if ppl are coming over, if I'm too busy, etc.

Danalana replied: Richard helps a lot! I came home yesterday and realized he had cleaned the tub. He does dishes and he has always done his own laundry. He gets various car fluids on his clothes all day long, so he washes them and then cleans out the washer He washes his regular clothes, too. His brother is the same way. My SIL says the only thing he doesn't do is dust and vaccum.

CantWait replied: Welcome to married life

mummy2girls replied:
ok well i guess i missed sayign this BUT I did ask him to do these things for me

My3LilMonkeys replied: my DH does a lot of general housework (dishes, laundry, picking up toys and etc) and even vacuuming, but there could be 6 inches of dust on everything and handprints all over the mirror and he sees none of that.

you do more then you think
At least your not 100% slob and your not scared to clean the house or pick up stuff plus you work up teen jobs
