For all those too busy doing housework right now, I'll bump this thread later on when you have time.

Could be somewhat overstated. Japanese men live in the smallest houses in the industrialized world, and so the time it takes to do housework would be less.

If God had intended for men to do housework, he wouldn't have given us sports.

My house work entails vacuuming (love my Rainbow), and cooking.
I do NOT do laundry, never.
To: Phantom Lord
There's a vacuum named after a trout?

How about tearing up old carpeting and padding in advance of the carpeting guys ... in order to better fasten down the flooring in order to eliminate squeaks ... does that count? It certainly qualifies as a royal pain in the butt ... ;)

RE: If God had intended for men to do housework, he wouldn't have given us sports. What about sports loving women like Tex? Where does this leave her?

Men work outside the home and provide the money for everything.
When men are home they help the women as needed.
Women work in the home to provide a nurturing environment and raise children (including schooling them).
If you don't have this arrangement then you are failing yourselves.

My kids don't even know WHERE the washing machine is located in our home! Do their own? lol
Ok you two, Cagey and Rush - you both know I do everything - my husband doesn't NEED to do even 4 hours of housework a week...much less in a month! He will help, but it is my job - he brings home the money, I spend it..... I think that is fair.....
Rush, I ALWAYS get my work done so I can watch my sports... lol

Cagey has to much time on his hands to find the perfect picture for every post.
Maybe he could open a house cleaning business to help out harried housewives! LOL
To: Cagey
Just incase you are unaware of them, Rainbow Vacuum Cleaners are made by RexAire. They are the greatest vacuum cleaner ever made. They use water filtration (like a giant bong) instead of bags and filters. The amount of crap that regular vacuum cleaners miss is unbelieveable. If you have cats or dogs they are especially wonderful.
Brand new they run @ $1,600. I bought mine used with all sorts of wonderful attachments for $225.
eBay has a lot of Rainbows available.
I have an attachment for cleaning hardwood, tile, or vinyl floors that is incredible. Poor water and cleaner on the floor and with one side of the attachment you "brush" the floor to clean it and then flip over the attachment and suck everything up. Never mop again. Plus it has a mini head for cleaning stairs and furniture. I love it. I will have a Rainbow for as long as I am the one vacuuming.
To: untenured
I can vouch for the less time aspect. We live in a small home and it doesn't take me anywhere near 27 hrs. a week to keep up. What are these folks doing to need 27 hrs, mopping the floor with a Q-Tip?

Rush, I have often commented to Cagey on his ability to find "the perfect" picture....
I personally think, he, not algore, invented the internet and has all these pictures in a filing cabinet in his office.....
As far as him hiring out to help harried housewives.... would YOU want someone called "Cagey" at home, alone, with YOUR wife? lol

To: Cagey
Pass the remote and turn down that damned vacuum cleaner!
