  • i subbed does that mean im in the give aways?

  • Everyone has to work together, if there is 2 people they have to meet half way in order for thing to get done! It's a win win situation lol :-)

  • Lol yeah right i'm the one that does most of it :p 

  • No they dont. still help kind of

  • Sure. It one person's working and the other's not, it probably shouldn't be 50/50, but they should still help.

  • I haven't been to Victoria Secrets in years!

  • Yes  , They need to help too! Everyone needs to participate !

  • yes

  • Just because one person doesn't earn money doesn't mean they aren't working. Being a 24 hour parent, housekeeper, chauffeur, nurse, etc takes a lot more energy than just working a 9-5 job.

    Absolutely the income producing partner needs to help out.

  • Everybody has to participate!

  • Comment removed

  • No

  • yes, but they can take their pick to a certain point

  • no they shouldnt!

  • They should still be shared but maybe not 50/50

  • yes

  • No way. I think everyone should help out. Granted the person whom stays at home might do a bigger percentage. Just think people should clean up after themselves as to not make it such a huge task for the person who stays at home.

  • I think that the breadwinner should at least help out a little, especially if you have kids. If you're both doing things to help out, it lessons the stress if it were to be the responsibility of just one person.

  • I don't think that the breadwinner should do all the housework but I think they should help out. If someone expects everything to be done for them then the other person will resent it and wonder why they have to look after someone who is capable of looking after themselves.

  • ...it's "all hands on deck" at our place !

  • well I'm very highly opinionated on this because of what I grew up with. My mother worked a full time job and a part time job, plus cleaned houses on the side while my father sat home and watched television, played video games, and napped. never cleaned anything (except cleaned out the cupboard when he ate.) he'd occasionally go through the cookbook and have the page open to a recipe and tell my mom, soon as she got in from work, that she should cook that for dinner. NOT ACCEPTABLE!

  • yes it is responsible chores must be shared 

  • should be shared, ie one cooks, the other washes the dishes

  • Chores should be shared

  • I think all chores must be done by both husband and wife maybe less chores for the one who works harder outside of the house

  • not really, the one that is not working should work at home

  • all the work should be done equally...

  • I think the person working should still do basics like pick up after themselves, and other chores should be divided into everyone else....I mean if they aren't working a full time job bringing in the money, they should pull their weight in other ways such as chores.

  • Isn't this between you and Andrea? Don't drag us into it.

  • +1 @0JuLeds0

  • I think if the person that makes the money for the house shouldn't refuse to help if asked by the other partner. I think if they didn't help out too sometimes it might then start to make the other partner feel like a servant. There needs to be compromise to reach a happy medium.

  • I am the one person in the house who earns the money in my household, I still help out with some things, but usually on the weekends.

    

  • They should still be split between everyone in the household.

  • I live alone so do everything. However for those that don't live alone, there is no clear cut answer -- it really depends upon the circumstances in that particular household

  • no they should not have to do the chores

  • I live alone, so I have to earn the money AND do the chores! But when I have lived with others, it's equal all the way around - we all contribute financially and in terms of working around the house.

  • YES! just because one person draws a paycheck does not eliminate them from having chores

  • lol nope, my dad doesnt do any of that...hes too stressed at work/with work so we try to not give him any when he comes home

  • yeah

  • If the main breadwinner isn't going to help with the chores, then I guess asking would be looking for an arguement. As the non-breadwinner, I would assume would pick up the slack and keep the daily household going...could be tricky!

  • If bread winner is providing financially for the home, the other members of the household should do the chores so the bread winner can rest before going back to work.

  • Hell yes!!!! I am a stay at home mom to 4 kids and don't have the desire nor the energy to all of the housework too.

  • Yes, chores should be shared

  • It should be a shared task

    

  • Since I'm the only one in the household, I do everything but if I was at my mother's, of course I would help, that's all I can say.

  • well being a technician i think keeping the cars running for free is my contribution to the household chores plus i do little things that's when i was married.

    now im a single father that does it all !

  • If there is only one person making the money in the household they shouldn't have to clean up any messes, except for their own. Regular cleaning like vacuuming or cleaning the bathroom, etc, should be done by someone else.

  • In our house, the breadwinner does not do daily chores but he does help with what I consider "Man stuff" - cutting grass, taking out trash - that stuff.

  • Depends... equity is difficult to measure and it's best to openly discuss this with all members of the household.

  • I think they should still do some housework. In our house I stay home and my husband works so I do most of the work and I'm perfectly fine with that. I also did most of the work when I did work at an outside job.

  • What if the bread winner was working from home and contributing to the mess???

    It's a shared task no matter where you work.

  • Hmmm....Sounds like you and Andrea are having "issues" and you are using us to decide your little argument.

  • Yes but they should shoulder less of the responsibility depending on the situation.

  • I think some should be shared but the one not working should do the majority. The working person should still clean up after themselves out of respect

  • I think everyone should help with the household chores regardless of working status.

  • I think it depends on the people. If one person makes ABSOLUTELY ALL of the money, and the other member(s) do/doesn't work at all, then I don't see why the monetary provider should be doing household chores regularly. Not that they shouldn't help out at times, but in general I'd say the breadwinner isn't responsible for chores. However, when kids are in the mix, things become more complicated.

  • It depends on the situation especially if there is kids to look after which is like a full time job. In this case both people should be responsible for cleaning.

  • Depending on the situation, but YES they still have to do chores but they might swap around some of them. For example If say the person who is now working also did the cooking then the one who is not working may need to pick up the cooking instead due to time issues and have the other take up a different chore.

  • you bet, unless they have to do physical labour as their job and need to rest but that's no excuse for the days they don't work.

  • I think the "bread winner" still has to help around the house. Making more money doesn't mean you get out of helping.

  • Everyone should help out

  • nope

  • Absolutely.

  • yes they should help out sometimes especially if kids are part of the mix.

  • yes

    

  • yes !

  • yes

  • Very little.

  • Yeah even the bread winner needs to pitch in, maybe just a little. There is to much to one person to do, especially if there are kids.

  • My husband is a saint. I'm disabled and he does all of the chores, shopping, cleaning, and gardening. He's retired but I don't know how he does it all. All I do is the cooking & laundry & trying to win prizes and that helps us a lot.

  • Everybody needs to help with household chores.

  • Not at all, if they are bringing in all the money they should be able to come home...away from their daily job to relax. Nothing more nothing less, just relax.

  • yes but maybe less than the other person

  • Yes!!

  • Nope

  • Why not? I think everyone should have a share in helping out.

  • people that work shouldn't have to do all daily household chores.

  • I think everyone should do their share - if that means they just help with dishes while the other bathes the kids - so be it - but it needs to be worker out as a couple - everyone is unique

  • Nope they all work hard!

  • Nope they work all day they deserve rest

  • Yes you shouild

  • not at all they bring all the money =)

  • If they're the ONLY person working and bringing in the money I don't think they should have to do any of the household chores. Not a single one. That should fall to the people who are at home all/most of the day.

  • Let's just say, everything is 50/50. But we make just about the same annually. And if I win today, 25 bucks would go to her.

  • someone is always doing more work and the others should contribute best they can

  • I think the bread winner should be givin some slack, but shouldnt expect it. its best for everyone to contribute.

  • depends on the job- for example, someone who sits at a desk all day would actually be doing their health some good if they do chores after work. Different story if it's someone who's been on their feet all day ( farming, carpentry, ect): In those cases, the other household members should do the house chores.

  • I think everyone should contribute. But if one person is working full time, the other should be doing more of the household chores (if possible).

  • I think everyone should help out, including the kids

  • I work my tail off at work. Unfortunately hubby is at home and his condition does not allow him to help to much. It's me, myself and I. Maybe you should have a giveaway for maid service.

  • All household members should do what their schedules permit.

  • yes.

  • if only one person is working and making all the money then the other who iassume is at home should do the chores and keep house,if they both work then chores should be split:)

  • Of course everyone in the household should pitch in

  • I think the chores should be split no matter who does or does not make the most money :)

  • No everyone in the household should share the responsibilities of the household chores. They all live there & they all make they mess so they all should help in keeping it clean.

  • Yes

  • Probably should :P

  • Housework should be done by everyone, though the breadwinner should get a lighter load.

  • Yes, they should. This is our situation - my husband works and I am a homemaker. We also homeschool our children. I do the majority of the household chores, but he does at least of the cooking and some of the cleaning.  Regardless of who has a "real" job, keeping our home tidy is the responsibility of every family member IMHO

  • No!! I don't hold a job outside of the house, but I do bring in a good amount of money every month- BUT- I do all of the cooking and cleaning, etc. My hubby works hard and deserves his time off- but he still is responsible for mowing the lawn and the outside work. I'm happy with the situation!

  • yes they should still do some chores!

  • There are a number a number of variables; how much of a toll does the job take on the breadwinner [is this person a desk drone or a construction worker?]? what's the health of the non-breadwinner? is the non-breadwinner also taking care of children? Ultimately, it comes down to a fair and equitable division of labour, which is arrived at through a discussion between the couple, not asking contest enterers hoping the majority will side with you over Andrea.

  • Nice

  • Yes, ofc why not? :D

  • my dad makes money and he doesnt do chores

  • I like to think that in a romantic relationship no one should feel obligated to do certain tasks for one another, but rather want to.

  • honestly depends on the chore.

  • The money maker shouldn't have to do daily chores

  • without a doubt!

  • I for sure think that they should help especially if the one who is not working is at home with children all day because that is also a job just not one that requires getting up in the morning and leaving the house

  • Because the economy has been bad nowadays both the man & women are working so yes I do believe they should pitch in and help.

  • i absolutely think the bread winner should pitch in.

  • Everyone should pitch in! :)

  • I live alone so I get to do both!

    Thanks for the contest.

  • I think that everyone should pitch in with chores. Besides, haven't you heard? Women actually get turned on by men who help out around the house!

  • Yes the woman should do all the chores while the Man is out working hard to eek out a living. #helpfultips

  • Chores are mandatory regardless of who is the breadwinner

  • A very simple yes, but plenty of slack given.

  • I think the chores should still be shared. It's more of an issues of the appearance of power. If a person works and doesn't help with chores they seem more like a boss than a spouse or family member

  • yes, especially if the stay-at-home partner is caring for their children

  • Bweep!

  • You bet your sweet.. um. .. I mean yes. Everyone who lives in a house should share in the housework.

  • Yes . She should help out sometimes. It's only fair!

  • They should help out when needed, but not all the time.

  • Yes, he should do a minimum!

  • Sharing the chores is good. It shows teamwork. See you tomorrow.

  • Head of household, breadwinner, and I still do work around the house. I like to do it my way. Sure it's hard work but at least you get it the way you want.

  • I think they should contribute, but not as much as the person at home. There should be a degree of cooperation at home, but the person making money deserves a bit of a break at home.

  • I think everybody in the house can pitch in to do their own parts with different chores and/or jobs around the house.... If they're busy on that day, they can do what they didnt do another day or they can get others to help them finish what they need to do...

  • My husband is the breadwinner of the house, and NO he is not responsible for things being done around the house. Call me old fashioned but I do the household chores.

  • I think the breadwinner should still contribute to the household via chores, but not as much as the stay at home person does. I am disabled, so my husband is the breadwinner AND responsible for 75% of the chores! =O He's amazing! =)

  • My wife and I are currently in this situation. I believe that whoever is the breadwinner in the family should not be subjected to household chores.

  • well hubby is now the only breadwinner due to my illness.He still helps me with daily chores :)

  • In my household, the breadwinner does not participate in household chores.

  • To a degree, if the person staying home is taking care of the couples children. If no children are involved, then the stay at home person should be responsible for pretty much everything. In my house, when our children were young, my husband took out the trash and was responsible for the repairs around the house and the car, but not much else,unless I was really sick. Still pretty much the same, except now our kids are responsible for a lot more around the house.

  • Yes, but not 50-50. You're not living at a hotel, so you should be responsible for some of the chores.

  • Yes, but only minimally.

  • No, they should be treated like royalty and have the other household members as their slaves.

  • yupper

  • Yes I think they should help with some chores

  • yep, equal sharing of jobs makes everything easier around the house

  • @givingitaway. Thx so much! Means a lot to me.

  • yes of cocurse

  • Technically no they shouldn't have to help but since a house is a big place I think everyone should kick in at least a little bit. But I am a neat freak so my opinion is a little biased.

  • Definitely, every little bit counts!

  • @givingitaway Thx so much but I tried to change it to swiener11 but my username on Youtube is sherri2345 and I can't change it. Can I get credit for my Youtube entry w. sherri2345?

  • @swiener11 I changed your account on givingitaway for you so from now on keep commenting on YouTube with the same account and you'll always get your YouTube entry :)

  • @givingitawaytv My Youtube entry never shows either.

  • I definitely think they should help out around the house still, especially if there are children in the house!

  • I think a little help would be good however most household chores should be done while the breadwinner works.

  • No their contribution is paying for the house, everyone just needs to take care of it

  • I believe everyone should pitch in on the household chores regardless of whether you're a single bread winner or not. The person living at home can't possibly do everything by them self- that's too much of a strain on a single individual. I say we need to work as a team, all the time!

  • Comment removed

  • yes they are, but shouldn't be. also depends what the other person does

  • Well, it kind of depends on what the person "at home" is doing. Most of the stay-at-home people I know work their behinds off to keep the house, laundry, meals, shopping, bills, kids, etc. in good shape. So they deserve some help with dishes, etc. and I think the bread winner should help out. However, if the "stay-at-home" is a "do nothing", then nope ... bread winner gets a rest.

  • We have two incomes and split chores, but if someone is the only breadwinner, they should still help out.

  • Yep, they are

  • they are 100% responsible!!

  • awesome giveaway :)

  • Not most of it, they work hard but to keep it sweet it would be a wise idea

    to lend a helping hand without having to be asked.

  • I think that the breadwinner still has some responsibility to help out with certain chores, as the person who stays at home and takes care of the home, will soon feel that they are burdened with everything. A few things done to help out goes a long way in the good books.

  • Not unless they want to.

  • noooo!!!!!!

  • Noooooooo ... There must be a clear delineation between worker and leisured. I cannot be sullied by work of any kind. .

  • Heck no!

  • Could some kind person tell me how to get an entry for this Youtube contest? I click on like 'n answer the questions but it doesn't do anything. Thx much.

    I think everyone should help with the chores. Makes it a lot easier.

  • @swiener11 This is all you have to do, leave a comment. There is only one thing you need to do once and that is make sure your username (swiener11) is added to your profile on our website givingitaway (dot) ca. Once that is done everything else is automatic ;) Let me know how it goes!

  • if they made the mess yes or take turns 

  • Yes, because we live in a society where public and private roles are overlapping. But of course, it is subjective! Helping out will be appreciated :) and you might get rewards ;) :P

  • I am lucky enough to be a stay at home mom.... Wish everyone could so they could raise their own children...

  • Sure they should. Household chores should be a team effort.

  • My husband brings in the income and still helps me out when I ask.
