Why are some women happy to do more domestic chores?

[GenuineInterest]

That's it really. I've name changed for this. I'm genuinely interested in why some women are happy to do more domestic chores than their male partners.

Food shopping & cooking, OH does most, sometimes me, cooking & baking is fun
Ironing, again OH does ironing, I'd simply not do it but he doesn't mind it.
Housework, a bit of tidying and the occasional vacuum, not exactly a big deal.
Paying bills & life admin well utilities are on DD and life admin sounds like nonsense, I don't do life admin.

You don't mention childcare?

If you see childcare as a chore or drudgery you shouldn't have children. Having children includes the nappies, sleepless nights, squabbles etc. Things aren't always brilliant but then what is.

I spent a lot if time working away from home and DH was main carer for them, he loved being dad.

I do it because I enjoy it, though I've been absolutely slaughtered for saying that on here in the past, lol.

I have autism and I love order - having a clean, organised home makes me happy and helps me mentally. My autism also means I can't cope with full-time work, so I average around 25 hours per week in my business.

DH, on the other hand, thrives on having a job and he loves going out to work. If he's home too much, he gets bored and incredibly restless, so we complement each other really well in that respect.

I really enjoy cleaning. I have anxiety and cleaning helps with this as it makes my life feel more organised and together in a weird way. I like looking after my partner in this way so prefer to do most household things myself.

Ah well if I was working away with partner doing childcare and most of cooking etc, I might also wonder what there really is to do.

Even if you consider cooking a fun hobby and changing diapers or helping homework 'not a chore', it still takes time meaning something else needs to be done at some other time.
