Just out of curiosity, who does the yard work around your house? I saw a survey one time that ignored this whole part of the equation, even though the men spent almost as much time doing yard work and maintenance as the women spent cooking, cleaning, etc.

"Just out of curiosity, who does the yard work around your house?"

And who maintains the automobiles? Who checks out that noise in the garage at O dark thirty? Who does the reloading after family nights at the target range? All pointless questions in the traditional household where the woman cooks dinners and does the greater share of the baby maintenance.

I never liked treating domestic chores like some kind of a contest. It's the quickest way to marital disharmony. But men still need to be better armed with the facts when the feminist "lazy man" stereotype propaganda rears its butt ugly head, as it always does.

What a joke. My husband, in general, is not handy around the house in any capacity but as an "ornament" :). If anything gets done around the house, I do it.

he mows, he put in automatic sprinklers so he doesn't have to work with watering..but I do ALL the garden work, and we have an above ground pool, and I take care of that too including the scrubbing in the spring and throughout the season. And I don't even get in it!! I had to PAY a college kid last summer to paint the trim on the house!

Please! Give me a vacuum cleaner and a dishwasher instead of a bunch of tools for doing brake jobs, oil changes, painting, gardening, lawn mowing, cutting down trees, trimming headges, and so forth. And who changes the tire when you get a flat on some dark, wet, windy road?
