Do you give your partner jobs ?

He does the showers of our son and when he’s off weekends he spend a lot of time with him so I can rest. We shower baby every other day and he just can’t remember the days so I remind him that’s it’s shower day today and he does them xx

I wouldn't say I gave him jobs, but it'll be like I'll cook tonight, you start the dishes. While I put the dishes away can you empty the bin. It works both ways though, he'll ask me to change the bedding but he'll make the bed up.

We share all responsibilities, and if anything, he stays more on top of them than I do. It’s never a case of reminding or asking him to contribute, as we both know what needs to be done and just communicate throughout the day on who does what. In most cases, household duties should be equally shared and divided, but I know every family is different and has their own arrangements. It sounds like this is potentially bothering you, and acting as an extra inconvenience? If that’s the case, I would definitely communicate this to your partner and set some boundaries and expectations. He may not realise that it’s affecting you.

Only if there is something specific I want done that I he might not notice on his own, but he's really good with just doing things that are needed.

I wouldn’t say I give him jobs but at the end of every day he will make sure the kitchen is spotless and weekends he helps me a lot with anything that needs doing

If I don’t he won’t do it. I wish I didn’t have to do that but there’s always so much to do. It can be overwhelming.

If he is having trouble tell him to include it in his calendar and set a reminder especially if something is routine (so you don’t have to remind him every often). That way he can build a habit. Unfortunately some males were raised not to do anything so don’t have the habit of doing anything

yes i do

Nope, he's perfectly capable of being an adult human. I honestly feel like some men are coddled so much that they never get taught how to run a household and then the responsibility of that falls on the wife, which is very unfair. My partner was raised by a single mom and 4 sisters.....some household chores he's more on top of than I am.

Yes, and he still never does them. And tells me i enjoy giving him orders. Nope what i would really enjoy is not having to say anything at all and him just doing it himself.
