Exactly! Men and women are different. Who knew?

It works the same for yard chores. I would mow the lawn as much as twice a week and my wife would always tell me that it "looks fine" the way it is.

But I always liked a "golf course" look to my yard, so I was out there constantly.

Same with firewood. If my supply of firewood gets less than about 2 1/2 cords, I start getting nervous. I'll be out there chopping wood to get to my comfort level of 4-5 cords neatly stacked, covered with tarp, and ready to burn in case we get the "mother of all blizzards" that leaves us snowbound and without power for a couple of weeks.

But with regard to dishes or laundry piling up, I see no need to tackle that unless I have zero clean plates to use or no clean clothes to wear. Therefore my wife is constantly working on those chores.
