Sat Nov 21 2009If the dishes need cleaning, it's a good idea to make sure they get washed.

Mon Oct 31 2005I can understand why women hate this. A lot of them are now having jobs and having to do the house work. To be honest, I hate cleaning but I drag myself and I do what I have to do. It is not hating the cleaning that is irritating (although it is always better to try to be positive), it is if they don't lift a finger to help and just sit there watching the footy.

Sun May 22 2005I'm not his maid, nor do I care to be. I sure as heck don't get paid to be his maid, that's for sure.

Sat Apr 16 2005I've had this allergy for years, it's out of my hands. I have an notarized excuse from my doctor. Really, I want to help around the house, honest.

Thu Oct 14 2004More and more men are becoming domesticated. Seems mothers all over the world have stopped wrapping their boys up in cotton wool finally and letting them discover the sink and hoover.

Fri Oct 01 2004I suffer from these allergies too, at least when it comes to my room. I'm not a very organized person (just my personality). I do find it annoying sometimes though, especially if they are claiming no responsibility over something that is easily fixed/cleaned up.

Fri Dec 05 2003It's not really a gender thing. Rather it's purely physical. God built women to do the housework. I mean think about it...smaller feet allow women to stand closer to the sink to wash dishes; short stature makes them that much closer to the floor so they can easily bend over with the wisk broom and dustpan not to mention the oven; women's boobs protect their faces from grease splatters; slender fingers make it easier for women to reach in tight places while cleaning...need I continue? Of course I'm just being facetious...except to teklady. ;)

Sat Nov 08 2003Uhh, it's like this teklady, everytime I vacuum it makes my sinuses bleed, and when I have to clean the bathroom I get hives. Doing the laundry gives me shingles, and doing the dishes makes me cough and aggravates the bronchitis I get from washing the floor. So its not like I don't want to help out, its just that housework makes me sick.

Sat Nov 08 2003Depends on how allergic he is. I guess I suffer from the same allergy, too. But, if it's gotta be done, it's gotta be done. This isn't a gender issue. UPDATE: In response to teklady's comment, most women I know HATE cleaning just as much as I do. I know some guys who are painfully anal retentive about how they want their things organized. It's pretty unfair to lump all guys into a category to say that they're the only ones who don't like cleaning--my husband actually does quite a bit of cleaning. This is an issue that is an individual's problem, not an entire gender's problem.

Fri Nov 07 2003Boy you women are wankers! This is one of the most anoying and grating of all men traits. They are around for fun and games and vanish as the words let's clean up start to come out of your mouth. Of course this is a gender issue. Women see housework as something to be done and men see it as something to avoid. If they do any, they need more praise than a baby taking it's first steps. And you Kolby, have you joind this century yet??? What about YOUR 8 hours on the job? Who does house work then? I bet it is still you.

Thu Oct 09 2003I do not care to date guys that love to clean house, as I enjoy doing most of the cleaning. However, there is no excuse for being a lazy slob either ! I don't think it is fair to tell a guy to get to work cleaning on the house after he has worked hard all day. I would NEVER ask a boyfriend to do dishes after he spent 8 hours on the job that day. It just isn't right. It is asking too much in my opinion.
