Women are still pulling more weight around the house than men, according to the American Time Use Survey data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics Wednesday. However, men are starting to pick up the slack.

The BLS data reveal how much time Americans spent on various activities last year, from household work to leisure and sports — as well as time spent providing childcare.

Here are some interesting highlights from last year’s data:

1. On an average day, 83 percent of women and 65 percent of men spent some time doing household activities such as housework, cooking, lawn care, or financial and other household management.

2. On the days they did household activities, women spent an average of 2.6 hours on such activities, while men spent 2.1 hours.

I can't to more than 'I'll try' I have to look and see where it is this year. and Hubby is my 'other' half. We take turns on the better or lesser parts, so it's easier that way.

You DO realize just how big a neighborhood, Texas is, right?

Here’s the deal: I don’t give a crap if there are dishes in the sink. Don’t care if the rugs aren’t vacuumed more than once a month, etc etc etc. I do housework when the mess annoys me. If someone else has other sensibilities, well, knock yourself out.

You are correct. There’s female clean, then there’s male clean.
