Settle an Argument: "Should She Have to Do 'Man Chores'?"

Ngozi and Emmanuel, both 38 and 42, have been married for 20 years and have four kids. Emmanuel works full-time, while Ngozi works part-time and spends the rest of her time doing household chores, paying bills and taking care of the kids.

On the weekends, Ngozi usually has a list of things needed done around the house, such as mowing the yard or washing the car, to give to Emmanuel. Emmanuel complains that after working 40 plus hours a week, he would like to relax rather than do manual labor. Ngozi argues that working a part-time job and being a stay-at-home mom the other time equals working full-time. She also says these tasks are "man jobs" anyway. Who's right in this situation?

Ngozi argues: "I have a lot on my plate. It's hard to juggle it all sometimes. It's the least he can do to help out with these chores since I do everything else."

Emmanuel says: "I work more than 40 hours a week. By the time the weekend rolls around, the last thing I want to be doing is more work. Besides, these are jobs she could do just as easily as I can. The "honey-do" lists are getting a little outdated."

Whose side are you on? (Explain your reasoning in the comments section.)
- Emmanuel
- Ngozi

The household is a shared responsibility between both spouses, however ultimately the household chores should moreso be done by the woman, especially this particular woman considering she only works part-time. However the man should help out as much as possible, as well as the children.
