What chores does your DP do?

Just wanted to add, my parents were very old school (got married in the fifties) even tho Mum worked, but my Dad always always washed up after any meal. He also did odd things like clean all the school shoes on a Sunday night etc

Aww thats just how my Dad was, all the man jobs including the washing up.

Taking the bins job is defiantly a job for men , isn't it! Although past two time's I have taken it out.

Sit him down and make a list - allow for the fact that when you are not at work you are looking after your LO as well. It will only get worse if you don't read him the riot act now. It's entirely up to you how you divide chores in a relationship and if someone wants to be the Housewife while a partner goes out to work then that's up to them, but that doesn't sound like what you have signed up for.

I think I'm going to give this a go. I haven't actually tried sitting down with him and making a list of all the chores and pointing out that I have to do all of it as well as work and look after Reuben when I'm not working (which is more tiring than a full day in the office ) I shall try and get him to pick out some that he's willing to do. It's definately worth giving a go and might give him a kick up the bum!

Our bins have to go to the top of the culdesac, so taking the wheelie bins up on a Sunday night is DEFINITELY a man job - they're too damn heavy!!!

Lol that was the last thing he dropped doing. I found 12 bin bags in the shed - yes 12! And 8 recycling! And had to do 5 trips to the end of our lane to put them all out upon finding them

Bins is so a mans job, I never do ours x

erm he does nothing really, well I say nothing but he does half of something very badly then leaves it half done so he can sit and have a coffee I do everything around here.

today I tidied up our wardrobe (most of the mess his stuff ) and he actually turned round to me and said 'oh I am glad to see that's been done since it's been driving me nuts for ages' !!??!! if it's been driving him nuts why didn't he do it

I feel your pain - mine told me he'd muck out our bunnies before we leave to go on holiday tomorrow - just been out and they haven't been done. That was his one job to do. I have done everything else for it inc loading up the bloody car. Off i go mucking out bunnies at 9pm. Gaaahhh!

You see I wouldn't stand for that at all - there would be one almighty unholy row and he would be frogmarched out to do said bunnies!

Is he ok? Inability to keep on top of chores can be a sign of depression - or maybe he's just a lazy f***er
