Just out of curiosity, should a man be paid to mow his own yard?
Should a man be paid to cook on his own outdoor grill?
Should a man be paid to perform repair jobs in and around his own home?


I suppose he should be paid for work at home, but do you guys have to jump at every opportunity for women that might somehow benefit you? Are you that selfish?
Anyway, men created money. Should anyone be paid?
Women are the only ones whose work is meant to be done out of the goodness of their hearts without pay.

With dinner..n sex n stuff..


So, does a stay-at-home wife go without food, clothing and shelter because she doesn't work outside the home?
No, of course not?
So, how can one say that a stay-at-home wife isn't somehow compensated?



in my honest opinion if I was able to be a stay at home mom or wife it would be an honor for my husband to provide all these things for me and in return I would try to keep a clean house dinner and do all the other things and help out with the outside chores as well
I stayed home with my boys while they were growing up and my husband worked full time. This was something we felt strongly about and talked about before the babies came along. Now, along the line as they got older I went back to work part-time and now that one is out of house and married and one is a teenager, I am going back to get my degree to work full time.

when I was married I was the one at home so yes, this meant keeping house and doing errands like the shopping and planning the majority of the meals.
Did we have a traditional division of household chores? probably...he did the car maintenance, the grilling, mowing, yard work and most of outside jobs and I did the cooking, cleaning and laundry

When my son was a baby, I took care of him while my wife was away at work.
So, should I have been paid to take care of my son?

odd question

depends on how you look at it
when we stood before God and family and spoke our vows we pledged to love one another and as a family you try to take care of each other

we kind of just looked at as a necessary evil..like cleaning the toilet or throwing next load into dryer

household chores are just things that have to get done to keep things going

oh and there was no HIS money or HER money
the paychecks went into the joint checking acct and were used for whatever needed to be paid

Ohhh.. the division of housework..
as is followed... outside work and turning of a screw mens work..

inside house women's work... laundry cooking cleaning dishes..

. not that I'm saying it is only women's work... but I believe it is their responsibility the same as it is the man's responsibility to do the outside work

So, does a man get paid to do chores at his own residence, or does he do them out of the goodness of his heart?

.hmm.. firstly I do them because they need to be done..
if I do not do them who will..?

hahaha I suppose I am kind of a throw back in some ways

I am not saying mine is best way or only way

if both are working then obviously chores are being done by both

If it's mama who is working and daddy home taking care of house and home
then fantastic

really is whatever works best for you as a family
