    More work = Less choires around the house

    I always find myself in this discussion with the miss.
    I work 45h a week, she works 38.

    Therfor she (imo) has to spend 7h a week more on choires around the house.

    Do you think this is fair? She sure as hell doesnt.

    I'd rather like to have more choirs around my apartment. They make lovely music.
    'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
    Or a yawing hole in a battered head
    And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
    And there they lay I damn me eyes
    All lookouts clapped on Paradise
    All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

    I have a choir in my house -- The dogs start singing whenever someone walks by. It's not that lovely during baseball season.

    She can do whatever she wants if she looks and dresses like that at home.

    Yeah, not really sure why you'd include the pic. I agree though, if you work longer/bring in more money you should do less chores, but you should split them up rather than put them all on one person.

    Nope, her obligation isn't to spend her free time cleaning up the house that you two share. Chores get split 50/50.

    Did she have her current job when you moved in together? She works full time, it's not her fault that you work more than full time hours.

    The selfish one here is you expecting her to do chores just because you're at work for longer when you're both already working at least full-time hours. If I were her I'd say fuck that to you too and tell you to work less if you care about it so much.

    That picture doesnt make the story sexist.

    Well doing housework in something other than heels would probably make cleaning the house less of a daunting task, just saying...

    Also if any woman wears heels like that while scrubbing the floors she's either insane or she's trying to get your attention for some sexy bedroom-related activities. You're probably safe in assuming the latter (most of the time).

    Maybe just don't use a picture at all then. Clearly, you are not sending the right message with any of the images you are choosing.

    Would be pretty awkward if you turn out to be wrong.

    If she is complaining about housework, check what else you might be doing wrong in the relationship (like showing affection), or quickly move on.

    Just because hardcore feminists see a good looking women in an outfit as sexist doesnt mean i shouldnt use it. Ironically a halfnaked man in the same outfit woulnd be sexist to those same women. Since when do we conform to extremists?

    OT: the amount of hours spent at work should not enter into the equation. Chores should be split up as equally as possible.
