Now, that's one of the interesting sticking points. I think it illustrates one of those fundamental differences between men and women. Why? Because women and men differ greatly on just what needs to be done around the house. Women tend to (in my opinion, of course) overclean the house. I have mine cleaned once every 2 weeks. I clean the garage 2 times a year. Whether it needs it or not. I do dishes daily (almost), 3-4 loads of laundry a week, and mow the grass when it needs it. Throw in a little yard work, oil changes, take out the trash, and that kind of thing and I don't see how anybody needs to spend more than 10 hours a week taking care of the home. And, by the way, I'm not married - its all mine to do or not do.
So, I have to ask; Just how much should Joe Sixpack be doing around the house?
