it? D
I do help my wife with housework. She hates washing up, so I'll do it. Usually no critiscism there. But she also hates ironing, won't do that, and when she does, does her own clothes...anyway when I do my clothes they come out fine, but she will say things like 'did you really iron it'...and this racks me off.
She will vacuum, but if I do it sometimes she will not only say where I i have missed stuff, she picks up the cleaner to prove how superior she is at this.
It's irritating but I guess you could say she is high maintenance, in that whatever you would do would'nt be good enough. She also leaves unclean clothes around, I have asked her not to do that and just put them in the clothes basket, but she does it sometimes., other times 'forgetting'.
So she vacuums, and does some cooking. I will cook too sometimes, but simple meals usually. I do iron, wash and dray the clothes and feel I do more than my fair share of housework.
Of course I have to do the typical 'man' jobs because in her words, she is not supposed to do it because its man's work.
Do men sometimes feel that your masculinity is compromised because you help out with housework? Either that or you get a very unclean home...
