I do agree that most of the house work here is done equally but most of the time I (the woman)mention that it is getting a bit messy so we should do some cleaning.
I agree with trucker there is a gray area to the question. I am a single mom with two boys to small to really help out with housework. If I don't do it, it won't get done.
I'd have to agree. I usually work 12-hour days and my wife is home all day. I help with housework on the weekends amongst other chores or if I get home earlier than usual. I barely have enough time for family as it is.
Though I voted "women" it is not as it appears. I am a trucker and am gone 2 to 4 weeks at a time then home for 2 to 4 days. If she didn't do it, it wouldn't get done. There was no provision for such a nuanced answer.
Thoughts
We share as best as possible.
Submitted on April 8th, 2008 by AnonymousI do laundry, she cleans. She hates laundry, I hate the smell of bleach. It works for us.
I do admit that she does most all of the cooking. But then again I do all of the yardwork.
I think roles work, if they are balanced fairly.

housework
Submitted on April 7th, 2008 by AnonymousWhen both of us worked,my wife did the most of the inside work and I did the outside. We always had a garden.
When we retired, it depends on who is feeling nest at the time and what the job is. My wife is the better cook.
