Hey everyone, I could really use some perspective on what a fair division of household labor looks like in my current situation.

Right now, my fiancé works full-time remotely, and I am a full-time house fiancé. Between the daily cleaning, running errands, and managing the general chaos of our four cats, keeping up with the house is definitely a full-time job on its own.

My question is: how do couples usually split tasks in this dynamic? Is it the general expectation that the non-working partner does absolutely everything around the house?

TL;DR: I’m a full-time house fiancé and my partner works from home. Trying to figure out if I am expected to do 100% of the chores, or if it is fair to split the evening/weekend load 50/50 so we both get free time.

update: had the conversation, he said i am in charge of my own fun money, gas, bills etc. and he covers the house bills and ‘roof over my head’ i don’t know where to go from here but i’m spending the week at my parents and absolutely relishing in my ‘tantrum’ as he calls it. maybe i’m a brat but honestly i’m frustrated

I recently became a SAHM after having our second, however now that we’ve ‘combined’ finances I’m feeling a bit.. well child-like.

previously we had things split 50/50 as we each had our own bills and then split the house and kid’s necessities together. now that I don’t have a job I need him to help me pay my bills (i’m talking like gas, co pay for therapy, etc.)

he regularly will go out to buy things for his hobbies (expensive hobbies mind you) but then i find myself trying to pull pennie’s together from the leftover $$$ from grocery shopping to buy fabric or something to make baby clothes out of. he seems slightly annoyed when i ask for money for gas because well yes we are tight on funds and he dips into his savings to buy extra things he wants or we need.. but what am I allowed to do? am i selfish for thinking his money is mine as well? i’m so confused and this is new territory for both of us and there are a lot for confusing things that come up than we had the chance to discuss when preparing for this

This is a community for people who are already living the housewife lifestyle; those actively managing homes, families, and the rhythms of domestic life. This space exists to offer support, connection, and encouragement among those who share that experience.

If you’re looking for advice on how to become a housewife, or for places to meet partners who want housewives, this isn’t the right subreddit for that.

We’re not here to provide guides or recruitment-style content for “wannabes.” This space is primarily for those already walking the path, not those exploring it from the outside.

You are welcome to browse or even participate meaningfully in discussions, as long as you understand and respect the purpose of this community.

Please help keep this space supportive, grounded, and focused on real lived experience.

I’m feeling a little discouraged lately and would love to hear examples of healthy, supportive relationships. What does your partner do that makes you feel seen and valued as a stay-at-home mom?

I'm engaged to the best man ever and I never learned to do amy housewife things but I want to do this for him so badly! We already live together, and I want to take on this role NOW. What are some ways I can start to be a good housewife for him?

I have a bit of a situation. However I’m very traditional and Christian and I’ve been talking to a man. Who said he’s been looking for a girl who’s traditional how it’s hard to find etc. however he keeps speaking like a misogynist do you run or? How to navigate? Things like no man cares if a woman is smart, 99% are who*** , retarded, only value is usually their body and has the book from Myron Gaines on why women deserve less?
