I'll also add this... Most men don't come home to a clean & tidy house as per the picture you're painting, most men have to contribute to the household work just as much as their wives. I think it's an inaccurate assumption that most men come home to dinner waiting on the table, slippers by the recliner, pipe lit next to the newspaper with a happy wife in apron smiling at the door. That would be something straight out of a 50's advertisement or something. I know for myself I regularly clean the home, do dishes, laundry, household maintenance, manage the finances and help with taking care of the kids just as much as my wife and I know I'm not unique in that respect: lots of men do that too, more men than we give credit for. |
