Chore Wars
A pretty intense debate took place between some guys in my group and the spouses this week about Time Magazines article about Chore Wars even when it came to the kids it was a struggle to get them to do anything around the house. My son is 3 and is in charge of recycleing on trash day and he maintains it thru out the week. I do beleive if you wait to get kids to do stuff around the house it will turnn into a lost cause.
This is what i took from our discussion....
If you engauge the kids with an activity they will do it. Saying i do it so it gets done right is wrong for the long haul.
Wives that work were pissed because they would come home and they felt nothing was done.
DADS that worked were pissed for the same reason but more for having to hear constant lip service about not helping around the house that did in a couple guys result in working longer hours to get peace LOL!!!
I stay home full time and my wife works. I'm up at 430 i work out, make my sons lunch and get her stuff ready for work. when i hear her in the shower i get her breakfast ready and pretty much get her outta my way for the day. she calls an hour before she's headed home and i start dinner. My days consist of laundry,housework,shopping,yard work, changing oil if do and running errands on her honey due list which i have daily. I don't think it;s fair for her to have to work and come home to do chores. On the other hand i don't think a DAD should have to work and come home and do chore unless both work then both should share the chores.
I was surprised at how salty a lot of the wives were with their current home status and took it out on the DADS which in turn used work as an excuse to stay away LOL!!!
How do you keep the "chore wars" from happening in your home???
