Thankfully, we live in a time when all the housework is not explected to fall on the women of the house anymore. Many couples work together on household chores thus making the workload equal and totally manageable with a full-time job!
However, one husband recently took to Reddit to ask what to do after years of his wife refused to do many basic household chores.
"I do most the housework," the OP began. "My wife worked at a family restaurant as a kid so she won't do anything involving the kitchen or bathroom, including sharing the cooking. All of that falls on me, as well as dishes, laundry, pet care, yard care, car care, organizing, all of that fun stuff."
He continued: "All she really does around the house is clean out the fridge once a week, tidy her craft room, put away her clean laundry and split walking the puppies with me. Yeah, we have puppies, which are messy so right now messes are a constant to be cleaned up while we train them."
"That means me doing all the heavy lifting AND doing whatever menial daily tasks there are. I've mentioned the burn out before but we haven't really made progress there yet. We're going on vacation this week. I made it pretty clear to her Friday I intended to just relax this weekend before doing all of the prep for leaving and making sure the car is good to go. Plus, we're driving the entire way and she hates long distance driving so who's going to be stuck doing all the driving too? This guy."
Fed up, OP decided to give a call to some friends who are strapped for cash and who have offered to do odd jobs around the house if needed.
"My wife thinks otherwise and says that stuff like that is our responsibility and I shouldn't try pawning it off on others."
Most users agreed that OP was in the right, and needed to get some help around the house! What do you think? Let us know in the comments below!
