Relationship Protocol: What Chores Do You Do as a Team?
I hate doing chores — what a way to ruin a good weekend or evening! I always get them done, but I do find myself moping through them most of the time. I can certainly see why it’s so appealing to share the burden with someone else or at least have company while you’re stuck doing it.
Dear Poll: Have You Ever Ratted a Guy Out to His Mom?
Even if a guy isn’t the quintessential mama’s boy, most men with strong ties to their family still have a lot of respect for their moms. In fact, sometimes she’s the only one who can knock some sense into him. My friend recently took this notion to heart when she called her boyfriend’s mom to complain that he wasn’t doing his fair share around the house — of course she subtly dropped that tidbit into a larger conversation, but it did the trick!
Relationship Protocol: Who Puts Dinner on the Table?
Sexual stereotypes in relationships are still alive and kicking no matter how hard we try to fight them. Although it's getting more common for men to help with the housework, it's usually the women who end up picking up after their men. But when it comes to cooking, I think the playing field is a bit more even.
Dear Poll: Are You a List Maker?
Although I’m not a fan of running errands, I am a complete believer in the to-do list or any kind of list for that matter. Sometimes, in a busy day, the only way to keep track of things is to write them down. I even have running lists of movies I want to see and books I want to read.
Relationship Protocol: Household Chores
No matter where or how you live, chores need to be done in every household, and when you live with your significant other, you're one of the lucky ones that has someone to split the grunt work with! Most couples I know divvy up their chores fairly evenly, albeit in a slightly sexist way: The woman makes the bed, does the laundry, and tidies up the house, while the man takes out the trash, does the dishes, and scrubs the toilets. Sounds like a good deal to me!
Do Tell: What's on Your To-Do List?
Lately it feels like there just aren't enough hours in the day. I'm constantly feeling the pressure of the clock and these days, the only way I keep myself organized is by writing a to-do list. The sense of accomplishment I feel after crossing something off the list makes me want to keep conquering each and every chore until there's nothing left to do.
Group Therapy: He Won't Lift a Finger!
I have been married for almost six years. At first my husband would help out around the house, nothing big, but he would at least pick up after himself. Now, he does nothing.

You Asked: He Won't Help With the Chores
Dear Sugar--
I've been with my boyfriend for two and a half years now and we've been living together for a year and a half. The things is that we always have those kinds of arguments that people have when they live together - about things he's left around the house, about the bathroom being messy, and about him not helping with the dishes, etc.
Yesterday he told me that he wanted to get his own place for a while since we're always arguing about household stuff.
The How-To Lounge: Ironing
I personally don't own an iron -- I would rather take my blouse, skirt, or trousers to the dry cleaners and have them steam out any wrinkles, but sometimes that's just not in the cards, so luckily I know how to iron! If you need a few pointers, click here to read more
