Does housewives get paid to clean the house?

My husband dont think i dont need to get paid.


Everytime I clean my house and my son and my husband dont clean after themselves. I have to clean after them.any opinion about this?

Does housewives get paid to clean the house?
It is supposed to be a mutual understanding that if a parent stays home and the other works, the stay at home parent takes care of the household and the other brings home the paycheck. Now being paid to clean your own home is not something that generally happens, these things just need to be done by somebody, so it might as well be you. You share this home with your mate and (while this is not a tactful way of saying it) if this is a problem for you, then think about what he does to earn that pay and your obligations to the family if these things don’t get done. Remember his salary pays for everything both of you own, his salary pays for your lifestyle and if he didn’t marry you and had kids he will still live in a house, pay for his meals and live the lifestyle you have without you. It does not hurt if the husband doesn’t help out with the household things that what kids are for, yell at them to help you.





If, both parents work and there is a problem with sharing the chores, then you have to put your foot down and tell your son and husband that the household is falling apart and you need their help with the cleaning. If this doesn’t resolve your problem then let it pile up and hire a cleaning service. Two salaries should be able to afford a cleaning service a few days a week.





Other than that and for what is worth good luck.
Reply:You do your share of work in the family.... while your husband goes outside the home, you are in the home working to take care of your son, and cook and clean.





Because of your work, your husband gets to come home to a comfortable and clean place.





This is your partnership you have with your husband.





I wouldn't call it "pay," but yes, you do deserve to get a reasonable amount of money that is all for yourself only.





I mean, unless the money is so tight that you can barely pay the bills. Then of course sacrifices have to be made... because that would mean that your husband cannot spend any extra money on himself either since all the money is for the bills.





I am a housewife and I get a sum of money deposited into my bank account every month that is just for me to spend on myself. My husband does it this way because he thinks I may feel bad for having to ask him for money.





you are his partner, not his slave.
Reply:If this is true then should your husband stop sharing his paycheck with you or only pay half the mortgage or bills?





Step lightly through this minefield!
Reply:I divorced my first wife cuz she wanted me to pay her for taking care of MY kids!!
Reply:If one is a house wife she needs and allowance to take care of her wants and needs. she is not free labor. her job is to take care of the family and the husband should take care of her financially. She should have an account of her own and both should agree when the gift is to get there and the amount!
Reply:yeah, if I got paid for everytime I cleaned the house I'd be a very rich woman. I don't care what people say, being a mother is not the easiest job in the world, neither is being a wife!
Reply:Normal housewifes have the check book so going shopping for new clothes is getting paid, buying that new washer and dryer are getting paid, new car yep getting paid, gold braclet and everything you buy on Home shoppers network -getting paid, flowers you bought and planted you guessed it getting paid. new shoes, socks, bra and panties from Victoria secrets sorry but have to count those items too! paid!


and when you buy that ice cream cone when no ones looking ! You getting Paid Baby!
Reply:I don't feel a housewife should be paid to clean the house..I mean, I'm a stay at home mom..He works hard to make the money for our family..It's my place to clean the house, cook good meals, wash the laundry and so on..


However, I do feel if I want to go yard saling with my mom or kids..He shouldn't have a problem giving me some money to go..Which he doesn't and never has had a problem with it..


But, I'm not a high maintence type of person either..I don't ask for things for myself..perhaps a bottle of soda and a pack of cigs each day and I'm fine..
Reply:Yeah I'd pay you, with some pork sausage later o that night.
Reply:No, you don't get paid. Your compensation is the satisfaction that you are taking care of your family.
Reply:You ARE being paid. I assume you have no other job. Therefore your husband is paying the mortgage, the utilities, the phone, the cable, the car payment, etc. You are therefore essentially trading your work in the home for all the things your husband is providing. Of course, you are married and your husband is supposed to provide those things, but on the other hand you are staying at home and supposed to keep it clean. If the mess is excessive, then you should ask them to help you out. Also, your son should definitely have his own chores. All children should have chores of their own once they reach the age of 4. Now, depending on your situation I would say it might be nice to have something, say $100/month that you can do whatever you want with. That way you don't feel like a slave to your husband. If you want to buy yourself something small you don't have to worry about asking your husband to ensure you don't overdraft the account. Both my husband and I work outside the home, but we still do something like that. We can't possibly both know the exact balance of the account at all times and we shouldn't have to call to ask the other if we can buy lunch or a t-shirt or get a haircut.
Reply:That's married life! If you have a problem with your son and husband not cleaning up after themselves then you need to talk to them about this and set some rules. Do you have another job or are you a stay at home mom? If you aren't working and your husband is the one bringing home the paycheck then technically he is paying you. He pays to keep your family going. Pays the bills, etc. Have a talk with them if you need the help.
Reply:Uh, no.
Reply:most housewives get paid as their husbands give their sallary to them but few men are selfish and think that they earn money with so much trouble and don't give this to their wives nor they respect and praise their housework. If u need money u should search a job outside or ask ur hubby to equally divide the sarlary between u and him.
Reply:If your a stay at home mom, then it is part of your job to keep the house clean, but he should help.


If you both work, and he doesn't help, then hire someone to do it for you both. You then don't have to worry about it, and it teaches him not to take you for granted. :)
Reply:Do you pay your husband to go to work everyday.


What a dumb thing to say.
Reply:It doesn't hurt for them to help out but if you aren't working then why shouldn't you clean the house? If you are working, then the housework should be divided up equally. A household is supposed to be a team effort. If one person is working to bring money in, then the others should be contributing in other ways. That goes for your kids too. In order to make it successful, each person should have some clearly defined contributions to make.





At the same time, if you spend all day cleaning then he comes home and starts making a mess without appreciating the work you've done, try telling him that the time you normally spent doing his laundry was used up by recleaning up his mess.
Reply:Well, what is YOUR opinion? You're the one who married this dude.
Reply:You should def be compensated my girlfriend is a Desperate Housewife and her Hubby gives her and allowance every month of 5000 to do whatever she pleases she still has access to credit cards etc. so that money goes directly in a separate account that he has no knowledge of. You never know when the bastard may walk out and leave.
Reply:I am a stay at home mom %26amp; I do not get paid. I do however go shopping when ever I want to.
Reply:Uh isn't that the role you chose to play when you married without JOB? Be happy %26amp; clean well (without pay)
Reply:Sorry to say but that is what happens when you are a housewife. You are the stay at home person and do the cleaning and cooking. As long as your husband is out in the world working and bringing home the paycheck to pay the bills. I don't think that you should be paid to clean your own home but you should atleast have the children helping you.
Reply:Wow only one question and answer and you have been hanging around since February, I guess you are busy with that messy house.





Actually you don't HAVE to clean up after your husband (and only your son if he is under the age of 18). If you are a stay at home mom you are actually working for your room and board. (but a tip now and then would be nice).
Reply:housewives, and or moms, could never get paid enough to do what they do.to have an 8 hour job is just that...an 8 hour job. being a "housewife" or a "mom" is 24/7. you don't ever get to leave work.your husband could not even afford to pay you if he had to so he should appreciate what you do.he should trade places with you and see if he can even do what you have to, to keep the place clean and running well.if a housewife got paid even $5.00 and hour, you would make $840 every 7 days. can he afford that? how would he like to make his own food or wash his own clothes?or would he like to sleep in an unmade bed with dirty sheets?eat on dirty dishes?invite people to a dirty home? my mom showed me how to cook,clean,wash,sew,and other "womanly" duties because she said that a man was not a "man" until he knew how to do everything it takes to run the place he wants to call his castle. then and only then could he be called the "man of the house" agree?
Reply:What country are you from???
Reply:Humm, let's see, my wife does not work outside the home, yet she lives there rent free, I pay all the bills, buy the cars, pay for everything. Does she get paid to take care of the kids and clean the house? I would think so.
Reply:Yes I have an opinion...you are wrong. Sorry to say but doing housework is a part of owning a house. It's doesn't generate money so there is not paycheck to give out. If you don't like the fact that your son doesn't clean up, then you can only blame the job you did in raising him. If you don't' like the fact that your husband doesn't clean up, they you can only blame yourself for picking him.





In other words, all your problems are your fault and you should stop blaming others.
Reply:A lot of housewives don't get a 'wage' to clean the house. It's a pity we don't get more recognition for our part. A real wage would be fantastic!





My Dad would hand over his wages every week to my Mum who dealth with all the household and finances. Sometimes we hear of men who sup all their wages down the pub before they get home so the wife has to go out to work herself so bills can be paid.





Do you work as well as your husband? If so, then it would only be fair to split the housework after you both get home from work. If you're a stay at home mum, then it's understandable that you will do the bulk of the housework. Then it will be fair on you if you can either 'clock off' when your husband gets home from work or share jobs equally when he gets home.





As for your son, it depends on how old he is. If he's very young then you could show him how to do housework by making it into a game. If he's a lot older, he could possibly earn some extra pocket money by doing jobs for you. Make it clear though that there are certain jobs that are expected and won't be paid for like keeping his room in order, getting his school-bag organised for school (you're not responsible for his homework and making sure he has the correct schoolbooks as per his timetable - he is), also for him to make sure his laundry is picked up and put in the basket for washing. If it isn't - tough - they can lay stinking in his bedroom.
Reply:You don't need to be "paid" necessarily. If they were to pay you for taking care of your home 24/7, they could NOT afford it.





Just make sure that when Mommy wants something Mommy gets it. Assert yourself. If your husband and kid think you sit on your *** all day, set them straight.
Reply:do slaves get paid to do their job?
Reply:Actually they just did a study on housewives and pay. THey determined that with all a housewife does, she should make over $135,000 a year. She is a cook, housekeeper, taxi, accountant, nurse, therapist, lover, child care porvider and much more.
