Women Are Still Doing Most of the Housework

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.

The BLS data reveal how much time Americans spent on various activities last year, from household work to leisure and sports — as well as time spent providing childcare.

Here are some interesting highlights from last year’s data:

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.

2. On the days they did household activities, women spent an average of 2.6 hours on such activities, while men spent 2.1 hours.

In other words,

they want YOU to do it, but you need to do it “right”.

Just because she tells him what to do all day long, doesn’t mean she can call it work.

That’s IT! I’m turning in my apron!

[MrB]

That’s another thing - there are some things that women care about being “just right” around the house that men don’t place a high priority on.

That would make the perfect Wedding Anniversary gift, but ONLY If your wife had the right sense of humor, otherwise, look out for flying ashtrays and mousepads.

Hint taken ... Running for cover!

My wife took a temporary job that required a lot of time away from home, so the home chores fell to me. She at first was very upset that things weren’t being done her way. I reminded her that they were getting done my way because I was doing them. The complaining stopped right there.
Different priorities.

How do keep bra from becoming tangled in the wash ... That one still eludes me.

[TangoLimaSierra]

Women’s feet are smaller so they can stand closer to the sink. Obvious.

Nothing has worked ...

Human nature. Hard for liberals to deal with it.

Um. You put them in a mesh laundry bag.

Did you need the recipe for pie crust, too?

:-)

[MrB]

There’s an easy answer to that.
Every base belief of the left comes down to believing the lies of Satan in Genesis 3, and the curse that followed.

Their hatred of gender differences comes from the curse of “your desire will be for you husband” (meaning his role)
“but he will rule over you”.

Honest Mama, that did not work either ... These bras are evil.

[MamaTexan]

My bride complains that she has to pick up after me, and I complain that she won’t fill her car up with gas and mows the lawn wrong.

LOL! Well, I do fill my own car, but I've pretzeled so many mower blades Dear Hubby keeps a spare on the wall of his shop with 'Honey's mower repair kit' written on it.

[Texas resident]

Easy. Had my daughter do the laundry.

What is her secret ... Bras mess up no matter what have tried ... These tangles are starting to make look for tall buildings.

[no-to-illegals]

I’m throw the bras off ....
