Honestly you do what ever needs to be done at the time it needs to be done regardless if you’re male of female. Humm just two weeks ago I had to pull the toilet due to it was backing up had a snake and a friend helped me unclog it and I went and bought the parts and he put it all back together for me. But I had at least got it started he offered to help and I let him.
There are very few jobs now days that belong to one or the other just whom ever is there and can do it. |

when it comes to household chores... The "blue jobs" -household tasks that women say are the responsibility of men. "Pink jobs" -household tasks that men say are the responsibility of women. for e.g Retrieving items from the loft investigating strange noises in the night, removing lids from jam jars and unblocking toilets remembering birthdays, packing school lunches and replacing toilet rolls when they run out. According to you, which task goes to women and which to men 
Since I wear both the dress and the pants, I guess its all pink from this viewpoint.  
hmmmmm 
i know u would help your partner in household... No doubt about it, but I am a cross chore doer, so nothing is out of the realm. The only time an individual can not do something, is when they think they can't.
well, thats true upto some extent. But guess what, some of the tasks needs stength and thats where muscle bulk and endurence come into play. and not everybody has it
Tell that to my dad when he made bring up fire wood and wood pellets in winter. I would carry 3 50lb bags up myself in one haul. Like I said mind over matter, you can do anything your mind allows you to. Thats okay and good for you.. but i am not talking about indivual capabilities here...its just a general thread and I clearly mentioned, " not everybody has it" I was just responding to what you wrote to me not OP. dear, the sentence I wrote to you implies generally. |

Just want to clear once again what I meant..
During the divison of household tasks, anything which goes to men is named"blue jobs" and responsibility given to women is" pink" I donot mean that women or men should do or are capable of doing a particular set of chores. |

I'm not so sure that "chores" can be divided up these days. I was with one for 14 years and she cooked and took care of most of the house work and I worked my regular job, fixed the cars, did the lawn, etc. Back in the not so good ole days.
But my last fixed her own car (and I mean down under it with a wrench and grease to her elbows), never cleaned the house, let me cook a lot of the time and flat refused to do any of MY laundry. (Because allegedly, I was "too picky") Women these days are not so constrained by whats "proper" or "their place" and I like it. Especially the fixing your own cars thing. lol |

Well, I agree. The whole idea here is to divide the task to make it easy. No one says a women should do a particular set of things but at the same time, they should contribute for sure.

All "chores" should be shared responsibilities

Except that is what you're saying. You're dividing them up between men's and women's chores. Some of us are saying they really shouldn't be divided that way anymore. |

Nowadays, there are no "gender-related" chores. They are all pretty much outdated. With all the divorces and single parent homes, that person is pretty much forced into learning and doing all the jobs in taking care of a home and family. And it's pretty much the norm now, that when a couple gets remarried, they don't wait around for so and so to do such and such, they just do it.

You take the tasks that best fit your strength, example I am awful at cooking so unless my partner is worse than me she would be more apt at doing it than me not meaning I would not help her. I am good at cleaning so i won't mind being assigned the task of cleaning the house.
What is important is the sharing of the duties and the good sense of helping your partner when help is needed. |

I've always been one to just pick up or clean up what needed it whenever I saw it. Dishes in the sink..I wash them. Trash too full, take it out. Women are MUCH happier if they come in and its already done. And TRY to tell one to wash the dishes. lol Easier and better on your sex life to just do it without mentioning it. |

It also reflects person's inner quality i.e he prefers hygine.

I swear, I think I would fall over dead if my trash was taken off or my dishes done by anyone else but me. Hey, there's my wish for the year. Just once I'd like for someone else to do one chore around my house... and do it the right way (my way of course)
