Robbins Brothers Newlyweds Discuss Domestic Duties

So here is the thing…. We are living in a new age where Social Media is taking over; we are not smarter than a 5th grader and our Husbands help with the housework. I know you are thinking, has the world stopped spinning? No it has not.

The thing that I heard from a lot of women in my family is that, “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach”…and while this is all true, my husband wooed me with his cooking.

After we moved in together… we had to think about how the duties would work between us. I am a modern woman and it’s not always ideal for me to come home from my 9 to 5 job (after fighting through LA traffic of course) and whip up a 5-course meal, wash clothes and clean the house. So here is what we have decided to do… we share the duties. We usually switch off cooking dinners or make a large dinner that we can have for 2 days. We do laundry on the weekends (together of course) and the housework is divided between the kids and us.

Now if you are in a relationship where your Husband is not an Iron Chef or a Domestic Engineer (fancy for “handyman”) like my Husband, here are some things I would suggest to try for him to do around the house:

1. Trash Duty is always top of the list. I do it from time to time but my husband is willing to do it for me.

2. Vacuuming is not as hard as it looks. Yes I know that most don’t do it because they don’t think the carpet gets that dirty but it’s still a simple and easy task.

3. Garden Work. There is something in a man’s DNA that naturally likes to do the outdoor work. So mowing the lawn is a chore but he can handle it.

I hope that the house is divided for the right reason… to make your house a happy home.
