Do women prefer to do the housework?

A woman’s place is in the kitchen. Why, because women won’t let men in the kitchen to have a place there. If the boys try to help out in there by stacking the dishwasher or drying up the plates and stuff they always get their ear bent by the misses for apparently putting stuff in ‘the wrong way’ in the said dishwasher or putting stuff away in the wrong places. I’m am 100% convinced this is the reason why men don’t do as much housework as women. I like stacking the dishwasher and cleaning up the kitchen in the evening. Its therapeutic that everything is in the right place to start the day tomorrow. Nine out of ten murders in the home where the wife has killed her husband happen in the kitchen, they say. The truth is most women like doing the housework as they are natural control freaks and they believe maternal order in the house keeps the marriage together. Imagine if the men did most of the housework after a long days work? Women would feel they haven’t contributed. I reckon women doing the housework over the decades is really about caring for their man in the hope to keeping him around. It’s not so much the chores are something they have been left to do. Last year on a talk show the Prime Minister pointed out that men’s household duties should be the heavy stuff, like putting the bins out and DIY. They do not want us in the kitchen boys. No, the women want us doing jobs they won’t do because they are hard or could go wrong and so they can blame the husband for messing it up. This is why they can rarely program a DVD player and always calling us to record the latest soap opera or episode or Dr Who. So much for multi tasking!In fact they take a quiet satisfaction from us not doing the housework so they can turn around and moan that we don’t do enough around the house. Women need to feel wanted and appreciated. I guarantee if you try to tread on their toes around hovering and filling the washing machine they will be all over you. And what’s with dusting? Is there any point to that? Dust goes up in the air and comes back down again. Did you know at least 70% of household dust is human skin? Politics.

I belong to a traditional home where men's work is separate from women's work, it has been like that for many generations although at times overlapping is unavoidable.

You'll never see me in the kitchen or do household works. And when I was still young and living with my siblings, they'd call on me when DVD player wasn't working or when they want a telephone extension in their own rooms. My brothers know nothing about fixing electric power lines, I do. They know nothing about assembling furniture, I do.

I knew that about the dust. I totally disagree about the rest and find it archaic and discriminatory. My husband does everything and then some. I just won't let him touch the laundry,

Wow, what a lovely misogynistic post. That isn't true. Perhaps women don't like to tolerate people who take the lazy route and don't clean properly, but it isn't because women love doing housework. My boys load the dishwasher and put everything away. We all do our share of the cleaning. If you show them how to do it right, there is no need to "bend their ear." I can think of a million things I would rather be doing than cleaning.

men let women do the housework as women are control freaks.

If my husband is a good cook, he can take over the kitchen anytime he chooses to prepare a wonderful meal. I like cooking, but l certainly will not object to taking a break from it. Yes, my husband will lift the heavy stuff, take out the garbage and face off with any intruder who dares enter our home.

I have *nothing* against men in the kitchen.They can do what they want there and in the way they like as long as I don't have to do it!

I do housework because I have to. I didn't know that about dust. I know where I live now we get lots of dust and it is a smaller place.
