Oh that is SOOOOO easy !!!!!

Wha? Pick up stray socks? OK, that's pretty easy, and doesn't make me tired. :lol:

Well I'll admit it, Bruce--I will loosely hint at girly incompetence if it means my husband will, say, clean the gutters. I do the vast majority of the chores in the house, and though he's in theory willing to do anything I ask him, it is not only more likely to actually get done, but he'll be happier about doing it, if he feels like he's "taking care" of us in a manly way.

Come on, bluec, do you mow the lawn at your house? :)

Everything...cook, clean, shop, laundry, child care, all the things they do while he's watching football/baseball/hockey/NASCAR/Orange County Choppers/etc.

Most of the wives I know, even the "non-working" ones, are busy far into the evening with "women's work". When they occasionally request help on the grounds they don't know how to do something, most often it's because they are just worn out or would like to get to bed before midnight for a change. ;)

Don't forget playing videogames! :)

Yeah, well, that's a generational thing....I'm old school. :D

Well, quite frankly, I''m having some time off work lately, and as you will probably have noticed, I've got plenty of time for dicking around on this site. My house is definitely clean and tidy. The washing is done. The kids are all sorted and when they come home from school we usually do stuff together (lately that's usually going for a swim).

I believe it's a matter of time management, something some people obviously need some help with. :)

What I mean by that is that I don't go along with the argument about it being because women are too tired. I think it's just because they know they can get someone else to do it for them when they could easily do it themselves.

Of course, we all do this from time to time, including me, but I don't do it because I don't have time etc. I do it because it's a job I just don't want to do, and I'm quite happy to admit that. My husband and sons all know it too.

We don't have a lawn, but if we did, I wouldn't *get to*--he dreams of one day having a "mowrider" (a tricked-out John Deere with flames painted on the sides) which I probably wouldn't be allowed to drive. I'd have to get my own, except that bumper mowriders sounds too scary.
