Men do more housework.

[Daddelion]

It's in the Mail so it must be true.

Is the rest of the sentence "than mice"?

Certainly true in our house. DP is very houseproud and tidy, which drives me to distraction some times! He just notices stuff which I would never think of cleaning in a million years, such as chair legs and the sides of plugs. But he also does the lion's share of the cooking, which is lovely, as well as bins and recycling. I just asked him what he has planned for tomorrow while DD spends the morning at nursery, and got a long list of cleaning jobs. And he works longer hours than me. But I do one more day of child care than he does; we split it 3 / 4 days (we both work PT / compressed hours). And I do all the laundry stuff (but no ironing, DP irons his own stuff). Gardening is mine, allotments and wooding are his.

I'm boggled to think what 'wooding' is.

Is it legal?

I daren't google it.

I know some men who have retired [early], and do more housework than the women, and the women still go out to work.

8 hours a week?

What size of house are we talking here?

(I only skimmed the article because I was in danger of being sucked into the sidebar of shame)

DH is actually more pernickety when it comes to housework than I am. But he is German so doesn't count.

Dh does more housework than me. He is good at it and I'm not. He can spend 10 minutes cleaning the bathroom and it looks pristine. I spend 2 hours and it looks worse than when I started. I wash the clothes and attempt to tidy up after the children but that is far as it goes. I'm more of a household manager, I'm very good at delegating and writing lists.

Ow, I had such a good giggle at that, Daddelion and Pan. It's just what we call sawing and chopping wood and kindling, and keeping the woodbasket stocked every day. I wish it was something more interesting .

It does sound manly, I hope he doesn't post on Mumsnet?

So who was glyders and what did they say?

Well, perhaps we'll never know.

It was an advert for a discount site thinly disguised as a post. He had 14 other posts deleted.

Than who? The dog?

Perhaps there was a punctuation error:

Men, do more housework.
