I wanted to add from my previous post on this....Growing up my Mom worked over full time hours outside of the home and still did EVERYTHING in that house. Of course us kids helped out as expected.

The downfall was my Dad never helped my Mom in the house. Male chauvinist all the way. His belief was that the woman did all the inside work, and the man did all the outside work. And that's how it went, brother mowed the grass and I helped cook and clean.

Well, now as my Dad has aged he feel tremendous remorse for those beliefs and making my Mom feel overwhelmed with all her expected duties. He knows he could never make that up.

As a grown woman myself I do 99% of the inside house chores and outside I wash/wax the vehicles, garden, etc. All of this which is NEVER expected of hubby, thank goodness for that.
