See? This is why I don't empty the diswasher.
I can see this. Husband empties dishwasher, puts everything in wrong place.. argument erupts.. same with laundry
Hope she doesn’t take it the wrong way, you might become a statistic!
So odd that someone would even do this research.
I actually do ALL the dishes by hand after my wife cooks. But that's pretty much the full extent of my housekeeping chores.
Seems to work, though. Lol.
(Forwarding article to Mrs. Flycatcher)
I will never lift a thing at home ever again...lol.
Gee, I bet studies would also find that nurturing women don’t divorce as often as domineering, or independent women. Who’d a thunk it?
Men have known this for thousands of years.
Hmm...
Note to self...
No marrying...
Wait...
I already wrote that note...
Never mind...
I guess I won’t ever be divorced! LOL!
if the men wouldn’t do everything “wrong” maybe things would be better.......
Get in the kitchen and make me a turkey pot pie!
“What we’ve seen is that sharing equal responsibility for work in the home doesn’t necessarily contribute to contentment,”
Of course it doesn’t. Most men aren’t going to ever be happy about doing housework, and most women aren’t ever going to be satisfied with the quality of housework men do. So, in the end, nobody’s happy.
This is more likely a symptom of an underlying cause.
Couples that share housework are more likely to have “non-traditional” or “modern” attitudes about marriage. Less likely to think of marriage in religious terms; less likely to see it as a a lifetime commitment; more likely to see (even multiple) divorces and remarriages as a normal part of life.
They are also more likely to be a two-career household where both the husband and wife not only work, but have careers outside of the home. Throw a child (or two) into that mix, and the amount of stress is huge.
In fact, vacuuming is about the only household chore which I can do to her satisfaction despite the best of intentions.
Things go a lot better when she says "Just leave it alone and let me do it. Go vacuum the living room or clean the garage!"
Division of labor according to who does the particular task the best and most efficiently has been a proven formula for economic advancement as old as time.
The feminazis can never figure out why.
I have a female cousin who travels the world as a project manager and does it well. Her husband takes care of the children and household chores, does it well, then logs on to his computer support shift once the kids are off to school. That works for them.
As Michael Savage likes to say "Feminism was invented by women too ugly to get a husband or too mean to keep one." To which, I'll add: They thrive on disrupting marriages, breaking up families and replacing order with chaos which, even if they can't fix it, empowers them to tell others how to live and gives them the company of abject failure to make them feel better about themselves.
This is for 2 reasons:
1. Its one more thing for the couple to fight about! your turn to do it, no its not its your turn... Or you aren’t doing it and you said you would... Generally speaking, Males and Females have 2 different standards for acceptable in the housekeeping department.
and second and probably more importantly, the guy may be doing it, but he’s not doing it the WAY the woman wants it done.. so yet another and even dumber fight!
You can’t do that!
—Why Not it works?
Because It has to be done this way?
—Why? It still done and clean, why does it have to be done that way?
Because that’s the way I want it done!
— Well if you want it done YOUR WAY, You do it! You nagging B*($H!
Seems to me, the cause is rather obvious! (Raise your hand if you’ve lived that second one at some point dealing with a woman?) I doubt there is a guy alive who hasn’t had that happen to him at some point when dealing with a woman, and trying to help with a chore of hers.
The only reason the women do the work is because men are incapable of doing it right.
Not in my house! My husband loves to clean and does a great job at it. We split duties and we rarely have an argument about it.
Look Johnny. See what you could have if you were married?
Mrs Johnny would do all the housework and all would be well.
No?
