"Well this is just more evidence that women are the cause of our social ills :)"

Or perhaps my neighbor got tired of coming home from work (and he wanted her to work), doing 90% of the childcare, 90% of the housework, and 100% of the yardwork. (Hey, he was allergic to grass.) LOL

Ok, ok, you men have some horror stories, too. Just pointing out that statistics don't tell much.

Just curious. How would those ratios be affected by your neighbor getting divorced. I assume she now has to to 100% of everything now. So how did divorce make her life better?

Of course, there is no excuse for the husband in this situation to have his wife work AND do most of the work around the house. But I just don't see a divorce as solving the problem.

BTW, other than cooking (which I do pretty well), I detest the rest of the housework. So when my wife went back to work fulltime after the kids got old enough for school, we hired a cleaning service to clean the house once a week. Worth every penny and it's not as expensive as one might think. I think we pay $75 for four hours of cleaning. Also, I do 100% of the yardwork. No way is my wife lifting as much as a rake out in MY yard!
