text: Generally no . . . we do not . . . we are old fashion in most cases.  We normally believe it is the wives jobs to take care of the household upkeep . . . while we take care of household financial burden.\n\nI know that is old fashioned . . . but that is how men view things.  And why marriages in the past lasted for 40-70 years . . . because everyone knew their role in the household.\n\nWith women's lib. and women in the workforce . . . these roles have been skewed.  Also, with inflation and the cost of living going up (I blame women's lib and women in the workforce for that too - do research on inflation how it went up from before before women's lib to after women's lib. - I don't have the numbers in front of me anymore . . . but the inflation . . . if I remember correctly . . . multiplied by approx 8 or 9 since women decided to remain in the workforce.)\n\nNow-a-day . . . in some middle-low class families . . . you have to have two income families.  And the housework don't get done as it used to.\n\nThat is where the couple need to do analysis on their household participation . . . starting financially . . . \n\nI've discussed it in my other answers . . . and did receive best answers for this analysis on occasion . . . if you want to look at my history.\n\nAlso the best way to get men to help . . . is ask us nicely . . . in a gentle tone.  Remember . . . we are as tired as you . . . if not more . . . because of various factors which I have also related to my other answers.
