What is a 'woman's job?'

Hi everyone,

So I'd just like to know your definition of a woman's job? I don't mean work employment wise... I mean around the house, for the family, and would that person also work as well?

The reason I'm asking this is because apparently in my house, EVERYTHING is a woman's job! I just want to see mixed opinions from women and men... and how it impacts on your relationship please.

Serious case of entitlement. My ex was the same. And also seemed shocked that I wasn’t happy with the situation. Also quick to criticise and dig over my ‘failings’.

He’s been gone over 13 months now and I’ve never been happier.

He will be back, expecting you to apologise and try harder to please him. Keep him gone and keep your sanity and self worth!

He asked you to pack for him?! Grin

Pack for him?? Grin

I'd have packed a couple of his y front and socks in a bin bag, opened the door and tossed them out and said, "There you go dear. All packed!"

I see all housework as a woman's job. I don't like to see men clean. Cars and outside is fine but general cleaning inside is a woman's duty in my eyes. Don't get me wrong when I've had baby's or am ill then I let dh do the basics.

While age shouldn't come on up it , I'm going to say I am 54, my partner is 58.

Nothing in our house is a woman's job... nothing. While I was a SAHM I did most of the cleaning laundry as I was at home more not because I am a woman. Now I work full time workload is more than equal. OH works shifts so had more off days so does more than me.

He mostly sorts stuff for DS now and Buys most of his clothes ( think he really enjoys that)

Congratulations on kicking him out. Keep a note of this thread - every time he was making a mess or refusing to tidy up, he was essentially saying "fuck you, you are my maid".

You will find things a lot easier with him gone.

Crikey what a manchild, bet he comes crawling back when he can't find another slave.

Teateaandmoretea · 04/05/2019 08:50

Having read the whole thread I reckon he's having an affair. His behaviour has become more unreasonable then he goads you into kicking him out so he is the injured party

Good luck to the OW is all I can say what a prize Hmm

Unless it's an abnormally long one that they are constantly tripping over perhaps,why does someone having a penis render them incapable of cooking, running a hoover round or cleaning the toilet? If you are both working full time then all chores should be shared equally,dished out according to your strengths.
