There are, of course, exceptional men and women who shared duties
from
the start or have adopted non-traditional roles by choice.

Yeah and where can I meet them??? lol
My husband did more housecleaning than me.
He was older - 35 and had to live on his own and clean his own house.
I
think
that makes a difference.
Being somone that doesn't care if the bathtub gets disinfected every
day
or
even every week, I think Paul has a point about how a lot of women have
higher
standards about housekeeping than men. So they don't give men credit
for
what
they do, or they complain and criticize what they do and so they don't
do
it.

That is very true. So many of my friends complain about how the husband
can't clean right or do laundry right. If someone else is cleaning, how
can
it be wrong? lol
When they should be grateful that he ever lifted a finger to do
something to contribute? This may surprise you but some men know darn
well that if they shrink a few sweaters or put something dark in the
white wash a few times, that will be the last time they are ever asked
to do laundry in the house.

What does surprise me is that women blame it on the man for his behavior
when chances are it is learnt behavior. If the man is someone who would
purposely ruin clothes to get out of helping around the house, then in my
opinion, he wouldn't be around the house. T
