I do not do housework. I don't do the dishes, and I don't do laundry.
Anything that needs adjusted or fixed, or the lawn or basically outside I do. If my girlfriend needs her car worked on or washed I do. I rinse my dishes off and put them in the sink which to me is close enough to the dishwasher. My clothes go on the floor if I miss the basket. She has to bend over to pick them up so what is the difference between in tor out of the basket?
She sells Pure Romance so basically works 4 to 8 hours a week. She does take the kids around to their activities. She has the time to do housework so it's her responsibility. I work 50-60 hours a week plus always have something to do around the place on the weekends. IF my socks want to be cleaned that bad they can walk themselves to the basket.
Didn't I read that you are an engineer? Doesn't really matter, but my other half is one and he looks at the dishwasher and laundry exactly the same way!
I have to admit, in the last month he has gotten better about helping around the house. He works from home. I not only work from home, but I also work 29-32 hours a week away from home. Me not washing his clothes or cleaning up the kitchen finally knocked it in to his head - not to mention a wee bit of a redhead tantrum from me - made him realize that he needed to help out.
Cleaning the bathrooms, or vacuuming is still not processing though.

On the other hand, changing the cat boxes is happening.

What's "Pure Romance"?
