This is the most sexist bulls hit I have ever heard. Does her husband “cut a deal” every time he wants a warm meal?

[Kirwina]

NO man needs to be motivated to do chores or even to be a dad, excuse me?? Some men need to grow up and stop acting childish

[skaringblue]

it's really wrong tho. doing housework it's not a "favour" you do to your partner, it's a shared responsability! A child get rewarded because helps at home, not a full grow up man! I am no one mum!

[trvrsln]

Genuinely never got why men see living with a woman as living with a housemaid that’s always on duty. Take pride in your home!

[Redridininyohood]

Im not trying to train my husband to be an adult. Meet me halfway. Or go tf on. These adults are not children. Not dogs. Im not his mother. Im not the maid. If the man doesnt care he needs to be put out or you need to leave. Period.

EVEN when I break down how many things I want done that week, it's still a damn issue, I hate feeling like I paired up with a child and not a grown adult. it's exhausting! and then they wonder why we dont want sex at all!

I'm fairly young, but I believe that both stakeholders in a marriage should be fully invested in doing their bit to making the other's life more bearable. If this is lacking, the marriage will sadly inevitably become sour.

Why do women keep marrying men whose own mothers never trained them to clean up after themselves?

[mimia.]

This is why I don't believe in "50/50 relationships" it's never truly 50/50. Men only understand shared responsibility when it comes to paying bills, but can't seem to understand shared responsibility at home. I don't want to do a 12 hour shift and come home to cook for the family everyday and clean the house alone. I don't want to use sex as a bargaining chip in my marriage. It's crazy how unfair marriage is for women.

It shouldn’t come to that when asking ur man or husband to help out. If u both work why should the woman still have to come home from work and still have to WORK it’s not fair. I knew they were gonna say bribe with sex, u shouldn’t have to do that either.

[mako]

Why in the world do women need to reward men for doing the things they should be doing without being asked to in the first place?

[Belleabooful]

I’ve been dealing with this crap for 11 years. In fact, I’m dealing with it right now. I’ve made deals, I’ve taken away sex, I’ve taunted him with neck kisses cause he hates them. He won’t do the few things I ask of him. He always says “I walk the dogs, I helped with the laundry, I work all week and don’t always get Saturday’s off (he sometimes work 1/2 day Saturdays, but always off on Sundays). I’m a teacher and I get freaking exhausted too! I’m tired of fighting”. I’m tired of making deals. No one is fighting with me about cleaning, no one is making deals with me for motivating me to clean! It’s his place too! He should clean too without having to be asked to do it. If I had known he was like this, I wouldn’t have married him. We didn’t live together before we got married, cause his parents didn’t believe in living together before marriage. If we did, I would’ve run very far away! His mommy did everything and she worked full time! Unbelievable!!!

So men are like children. They are completely unmotivated about doing chores within their own house unless you offer them a

[mollywalker]

Bribes do not work. Source: I've tried.

[MAW]

her husband is lazy how can you live in a nasty house my mom taught me how to cook and wash clothes a woman shouldn't have to cut a deal he's weak

[inog]

This is such rubbish, why do I have to bribe a grown man to pull his weight around the house.... I need a partner and not a teenager.

[mochamommyATX]

Leave the chores that are important to him undone

[elenarotestan]

Just get into his wallet and pay someone else for the chore he doesnt want to do. Then wait and see next time 😂👹

[teresasatchell]

Husbands! You can't have a traditional household once your woman goes out to work like you do. Once she works like you and bring money in as well especially when you want her to work, now you both need to sit down to go over who will do what in the household.

[jugzbpoppin]

My man doesn't care about pleasing me in anyway. Refuses to help with the kids or house. It doesn't matter what I do. Too bad I don't have a way out. Otherwise I'd already be gone. You shouldn't hate who you're with and right now, that's where I am at. I'm tired of it. It's been 6 years too long. I've given up hope on ever getting married.
