There are, of course, exceptional men and women who shared duties from
the start or have adopted non-traditional roles by choice.

Yeah and where can I meet them??? lol

My husband did more housecleaning than me.

He was older - 35 and had to live on his own and clean his own house. I
think
that makes a difference.

Being somone that doesn't care if the bathtub gets disinfected every day
or
even every week, I think Paul has a point about how a lot of women have
higher
standards about housekeeping than men. So they don't give men credit
for
what
they do, or they complain and criticize what they do and so they don't
do
it.

That is very true. So many of my friends complain about how the husband
can't clean right or do laundry right. If someone else is cleaning, how
can
it be wrong? lol


EXACTLY! I mean hey, if he was contributing, why bitch? I remember I
*used* to be alittle anal when it came to things, but after having kids oh
boy have my standards relaxed. If I have dishes in the sink, who cares...
if the laundry's pilled up over the week, oh well... I just like things to
be somewhat tidy, so I draw the line at garbage strewn around the house, or
if food is left out... basic housekeeping standards.
