My husband and I work on the theory that if one of us cannot do jobs the other one can and regardless of what colour that job is.

Since his marriage, over 40 years ago, my brother has always done the washing, ironing, and more often than not, the cooking.

Why?

Because he's better at it than my sister in law!! :-D :-D :-D

Oh, and their two (adult) sons, are perfectly capable of doing the same things - they're just chores that need doing, not 'male' or 'female' jobs.

When one of my nephews got married, his wife couldn't believe her luck!! :-D

My sister refers to blue jobs and pink jobs but in reality she does absolutely nothing, unsurprisingly her relationships don't last long.

I'd be more than happy to hand over some of the chores I don't like to someone more capable of them ( cooking and ironing especially) but I still like putting rubbish out, I find it quite therapeutic :-)

Some of my family have girls and boys jobs

Pathetic - what sort of message does it send out to young people :-0 :-0

Personally I'd rather build a wall or decorate than do housework ;-) ;-) ;-)

Hubby used to do it with my input till he could no longer

Must admit its a chore now for me that i have to get my up and go to do it

when its brown bin garden waste week I struggle in does it need it this week cos its a job getting it out of the garden

dont have much garden waste but it does take kitchen waste too in the disposable bags

problem too is that i dont make that much as on my own BUT need to keep a look on the bin as it can develope maggots when the temperature rises . they seem to come overnight .

so not something i can say no problem too as i do find it a chore

Someone with shorter nails than me.

Exactly Maggie :-)

No-one's offered to take mine out :-|

Oh - that'll be because I live on my own :-D

OMG - maybe I'm a man!!!

No, I can't be, I cook, wash, and iron.
Oh - but I decorate, put flat packs up, make shelving units, turn the mattress, make the fire, bring the coal in.

I'm sooo confused :-S

Do you know what, I'm just a human being :-D :-D :-D

Is it a man's job ?
