Husband helping around the house as example for my son?

I am a stay at home and do everything inside the house. My husband works 10 hour jobs and takes care of the yard and fixing things inside the house if it gets broken. He is also great with the kids-baths them, plays with them, teaches them things I can't. I'm very happy but I tend to think my son, who is 7, sees that and will think that man shouldn't do housework because he sees his Dad not doing it. I'm happy with the arrangement but what if his future wife isn't or has a situation where they both have to work to make ends meet. Should I ask my husband to do some things inside the house so my son won't be so resistent about doing stuff inside the house??
Or maybe I should just start training my son to do stuff around the house. Right now, besides cleaning his room and picking up his toys at night, my son doesn't do anything. I know some women who teach their kids to clean the bathroom..etc.

I don't think it has anything to do with your husband doing chores or not. A 7 year old is perfectly capable of doing chores around the house without argument. I have 8 children and they all get equal chores they are 6-16 years old. I have a foster son who is now 9 I have had him for 2 years. When he came to live in my home he wanted nothing to do with cleaning, chores, picking up after himself or even self maintenance. Giving him chores and having the consistency and schedule and the discipline that children need has taught him. He will go to other peoples house and clean or help with yard work etc. and will do extra around our house because he wants to not because he has to, he enjoys it. My husband works second shift so he is gone in the evenings until after the kids go to bed. I think now he will make a great husband some day!

Heck yes! Mine are 8 & 9 and have bathroom cleaning duty, pick up after and walk the dogs, make their beds every morning, keep their rooms clean and anything else as directed. Chores are essential. Mine are learning to load and unload the dishwasher and occassionally help with washing towels.

My husbands father never helped with house work and he turned out great. He helps me with house work and I help him with yard work. It took a little training but after 7 years of marriage it is working out good. I would just leave things the way they are.

no your husband is already doing a lot already for working 10 hours. Consider yourself lucky. Just give your son a little more responsibility and see how he does.

The more you teach your son about being an equal partner the better. He's old enough for you and your husband to sit him down and explain your arrangement, yet still enforcing that if you wanted it or needed it the father would help inside the home. I believe all children male or female should be taught to be independent, to be able to care for themselves. That means being able to cook, clean, do laundry. We shouldn't rely on someone else to do life's basic needs for us.
