Wives demanding as a right that husbands do housework is a common and serious problem. Husbands deciding to do housework for the good of the wife/family is a proper exercise of their role as leader of the family. 

We have 5 kids, 8 and under. I do 20-40 % of the dishes. It's very organic when I do or don't do them. A husband can tell when his wife needs a hand. That's when I help. 

She cooks (excellent meals I should say) and I do 100% of dishes in exchange.
I do vacuum clean floors but rarely touch bathrooms.
Both of us does their own laundry.

Are you the OP?

The first couple responses really bothered me, what happened??? The OP's question seemed like a fair enquiry for family customs. All those judgement coming from no where 
Both my grandparents had to work and been poor for the first 20 years of their marriage. After they retired my grandmother does most of the chores, including 5 hrs kitchen meal prep everyday, and my grandfather only does dishwashing and sometimes groceries if shes too busy. But he got complained for not buying with coupons and things like that, lol.

Agreed.  A few immediately seemed to jump to the conclusion that 1) the OP was female & 2) there was an implicit complaint that her hubby doesn't do enough.  When really it was just a question about family customs, as you say.  There can be any number of reasons why someone would ask such a question.

I thought the OP was a man asking how much is reasonable that his wife ask him to do

The post was anonymous, so that often means something.

If it was just about customs then it should have been public and it should have been direct.  Something like what is the breakdown of chores in your household.

To me it sounded like a wife was complaining about her husband and was seeking what other husband's did.  Which now that I think about it, I should have realized that maybe a woman wouldn't being seeking other husband's directly.  

Anyways, this form of communication is hard and yes I shouldn't have jumped to my conclusions,  but I don't think the person who was bothered by my response should think I had ill will in my response.  I was asking a question to help the person see it from a different perspective.

This is the difference between communication styles between men and women.  Men tend to establish status in their conversations and women tend to nurture in theirs.  Maybe i will try to explain more about status vs nurture in another post.

No, this is what pop psychology tells us, that women are from Venus and Men are from Mars. It sells books, it doesn't solve problems, it creates new problems when people are too swayed into these assumptions to be willing to deal realistically with what's in front of them like mature adults. It's as bad as astrology or enneagrams. 

Women do establish status in their conversations but in a more roundabout way. Men do nurture but without setting up endless apron strings about it.

If the dishes need to be washed immediately, then the husband does it if the wife has too much going in her female obligations (like with a newborn). If it can wait, the wife does it as soon as she's able. Simple. No men/women distractions to it.

OP here.

I apologize for the dumb title and for giving no context. I see that there have already been misunderstandings.

Yes, I am the husband, as someone guessed correctly.

I will respond later with more details.

Has this happened yet?
