Awesome photo! The only thing wrong with it is you were drinking Fosters. I pigeon-hole Fosters, Carling and Carlsberg as the 3 worst beers. Should have gone with a Tuborg, 1664 or Grolsch.

I only ever see Tuborg at festivals and at music venue type places e.g O2 Academy, never in your average pub.

I do agree however that I Fosters, Carling, etc are **** water.
 
My husband takes the bins out, vacuums the stairs, mops the floors at the weekends and takes the dogs out every evening.

I do everything else.
 
I usually take care of all of the bills and admin work for the house, we share cooking around 30/70, me being the 30. Cleaning the flat is a shared exercise. No lawn to deal with :D

I drive 99% of the time, out of preference. We buy/pick gifts for family/friends as a couple usually.

Packed Lunches - We make our own.
Dealing with Tradesmen - Me (she runs away from strangers)

Mowing the Lawn - Bit of both, i will do it when i think it needs doing, she will when she gets annoyed after asking me to do it and i dont.

Dealing with Water/Gas/Council Tax - Me (we share the cost though)

Also..

I do everything myself since age 17 :(

I am very good at washing dishes though but fed up washing socks :(



As i suspected with modern feminism, men do the majority of the work. Not much point for men to marry any more realy is there?

Always makes me laugh when I see things like this where males in relationships like to tell everyone that the female is the boss. 'She lets me do this...' etc. I guess it gives them a sense of belonging, that's why they use words like 'missus' when they are not even married. lets everyone know they have a 'bird'.

Instead of being the 'lesser half' be a man, be your own boss.

Yeah I get this off every guy Ive ever worked with. They basically say 'Shes the boss' and I just have to roll my eyes. Its sad what most men will put up with to guarantee they still have a hole to put their winky in.

In every couple there's a dominant and a submissive partner, some people prefer to be "the boss", and others don't care if they are told what to do.
