There are only a relative number of men that actually do anything physical in their jobs. These days, most have desk jobs.

Yes, there are definitely physical jobs out there, and I am not denying that.

However, housework is pretty much the same any way you look at it.

If you compare the average physical aspects of running a home over the average physical aspects of working, then I would venture to say that running a home wins.

Now running around chasing toddlers, teaching kids how to ride bikes, staying up most of the night with sick kids are also very tiring activities, then you add housework on top of that and the fact that you never get a break even on weekends and holidays or when you are sick, and it is exhausting.

Now running around chasing toddlers,..

My comments are meant for post toddler life. Toddlers are hell on two legs.

In all honesty I would clean the kitchen floor once a week and if anyone wanted it cleaned oftener they would be free to grab a swab.

Ditto the other housework jobs. THEN I would grab the kids do what ever struck my fancy. If you don't reward yourself for a job well done the job becomes drudgery. So vacuume the rug good, give the kitchen floor hell and then get the hell out of the house.
