They go to bed for a few hours so you can clean downstairs

You do know that a husband should also help his wife clean downstairs. It's not very fair that the wife has to do all the cleaning while the husband doesn't do anything at all. A wife deserves a break from cleaning, and children should also help their mothers clean the house.

They tell you the correct way to lift heavy objects so you can carry them safely from one room to another

Now that's just having safety in mind. Which is better: some good advice or a back injury?

Who says chivalry is dead?

They tell you when it rains so you can bring the washing in from the line
They throw their washing next to the basket in a neat little pile

It also helps their wife know they have some washing that needs to go in the machine.
