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.

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.

and some men......maybe 3%....care about things being “just right” in their country. The country where they pay taxes and build businesses and lives for their families and communities.

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?

(Sorry for the delay in the response. I was busy getting banned from posting comments on a leftist news rag)

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.
