Men are doing it 2 minutes longer than in 2003

 Women should be celebrating! 

 Men are now spending 16 minutes a day doing housework and women have cut their time down to just 52 minutes a day.  

But the way I see it, women are still cleaning the house 36 minutes more than men.

Now, if all women were just homemakers, housewives or stay at home moms, they might be dancing around with their mops and vacuums   But women are now getting more college degrees then men and filling all levels of the work force.  And yet they are still carrying the bulk of the household responsibilities.

In December, the Wall Street Journal had an article called "A truce in the chore wars."   Shellie Porter, research and development section head for Tide North America said that a woman is "very nervous about the thought of someone else doing laundry because she has her special recipe of how she does it."

A 2011 report said that "42% of women don't trust their partner or spouse to meet their standard of clean."  

Do we really have our own special recipe?   Do we have trust issues when it comes to our husband and washing clothes or clean the house?   

Maybe it really is our fault that we are still doing so much work.  If we just let go, let them do it their way, would we free up more of our time for our scramble addictions.
