Even when women make as much or more than their husbands they're still doing more housework. Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur discuss on The Young Turks. Watch TYT LIVE on weekdays 6-8 pm ET. kzfaq.infolive

"Few women will be surprised to learn that even when wives earn about the same as their husbands or more, a new Pew Research Center study finds that they still spend more time on housework and child care, while their husbands spend more time on paid work and leisure.
“Even as financial contributions have become more equal in marriages, the way couples divide their time between paid work and home life remains unbalanced,” Pew noted.
So who’s earning what?"*

My husband is a perfectionist... I am a clean 'clutter bug' who cooks really well and can sew like a banshee. When we started really dating we shared responsibilities on house work but I would notice him vacuuming the carpet right after I did to get the lines the way he wanted/needed them to be. I tried doing things "his way" but it just never met up to his expectations so after a while he just said, "You know what... I got this. You cook, pick up after yourself and do as you have been but I will take over most of the cleaning." So, I let him deal with his OCD patterns by cleaning things the way he wants and I cook awesome meals and keep the hems stitched! 17 years of marriage and I rarely touch the vacuum or steamer. He has his patterns and things down to his science and I keep him fed and happy and keep up with all the entertainment of guests and family functions. I do not think marital roles are set via sex, it is just what human society has accepted as the norm. My husband is a wonderful man and I would not change him in the slightest. I accepted him as is and he accepted me as is, we just make it work filling in where the other doesn't excel but we don't get in each other's way.

Tried that with my ex and the dishes were the problem. I cook neatly so there's very little cleanup. 5 minutes cleaning the air fryer and a wok, putting the dishes in the washer and wiping the countertops. She would use half the pots and pans, the food processor, measuring cups and chopping boards, leave spillage on the range top and then leave tons of ingredients out. So I think whoever cooks should clean their own mess. 😂

I know the culture is shifting but until we make a shift in our own minds that running a house and family is a 50/50 partnership it will still always fall to the woman to either do it or delegate the task as a big Ole favor to her.

My thoughts exactly. She doesn't have kids, so it's not such a burden yet, but that's called the mental load. Having to keep on top of and manage the household. This way you become the manager in your free time, who also has to do the work a lot of the time. Fair Play is a good book on how to divide chores. Divide the chores in complete chunks. In this example he will be responsible for the floors and that's it. No reminding or nagging needed. Men know how to take on tasks at work, so it's not a mental capacity problem. Unless, like my husband, they have genuine eye problems, which we discovered because he never vacuumed the baseboards. He didn't actually see that far and was vaccuming willy nilly.

I had to laugh at this due to serendipitous timing. Been married 34 years, and my wife and I have always shared the housework. But this weekend things went like this. Friday; I dusted, vacuumed, cleaned the kitchen, and did several loads of laundry (While my wife was at work. I did at least mow the lawn on Saturday...). Sunday, she's in our back yard (finally) chopping up our Christmas tree from last December with her hatchet and burning it, and chopping and pulling at blackberry vines and ivy. We're married to each other, not traditional gender roles.

Playing with a hatchet is "a man's job" I don't think that counts as a chore because it's fun. There's no reason a woman can't cop up a tree, we may do it faster but so what. The real question on equality is... Can you sew and use a sewing machine? 🤣 Well done though

I kill the spiders, she schedules my doctor appointments. I mow the lawn, she mends the garden. We both like to cook but I end up washing the dishes every night because she doesn't really like to, In return she vacuums. This is what a stable relationship looks like.

I've never in my life felt the need to "make my bed" unless I have just cleaned the sheets. It honestly seems pointless. Yet I've dated women who have had meltdowns about an unmade bed. Just saying- chores are sometimes done by the people who actually see them as important. If a home sanitary, that's all the housework that is really necessary. The rest is just people's individual feelings about neatness.

A real nice tip is just to have a talk about if there's any chores you prefer or even like doing in the beginning. If you like doing different chores there's no problems and you can divide them up in that way :3 And ofc if there are some you don't like you each swallow some camels and get through it together, or do them together if possible. Makes for a positive outlook on it rather than it just being negative :3 But a key thing is always being open to switching if someone gets real tired of the chore they have :3

Men buy their leisure time at the expense of their wives. There’s no malice because they genuinely feel entitled to her labour. Even these two while talking about it managed to put the onus on the woman by implying that the man is “helping” his wife and he should do it so he gets laid. So it’s her work and if he “helps” she will reward him instead of as the other adult in the home he should participate in the upkeep of the place he lives. Women have been brainwashed into believing this is the way it should be because the one with the vagina should do the “woman’s” work. After years of this many women are resentful and realise that life would actually be easier minus the man who is just another child in an adult body adding to her workload. Except this one will never grow up and will act shocked that more is expected of him whereas children can actually be taught not to be entitled douchebags.

So are women washing the cars, mowing the lawn, fixing the fence without being told or asked? I think it's unfair to just expect someone to do something without even discussing it with them. Women aren't just voluntarily doing tasks that men normally take care of, are they? So why are men expected to just voluntarily pick up the opposite side? Discussions should be had. I think most men wouldn't mind vacuuming or doing dishes or laundry if their wives asked, but to just expect it to be done without even discussing it is a bit presumptuous when the men aren't expecting their wives to go out and powerwash the driveway.

It's a cultural problem and always has been. Many marriages end up in divorce because there isn't a healthy dynamic when it comes to sharing responsibilities. I've seen time and again that when the children start coming and there is more to do the women end up with the brunt of the work in the home and child care. I counsel young women and I teach them how to communicate with their prospective partners and what to look for in a partner. I've had to have the discussion way too many times with young women about getting out of a relationship before they marry because we can foresee the problems that are in their future with him. There are great men out there who are happy to help around the house and love caring for the children. These are men that don't worry about what other men think of their masculinity. I have had to follow my own advice too. I broke up with a guy who joined in mocking another man who said he needed to check with his wife before making a decision about going somewhere with the guys. I don't think we need to get permission from our partners to go somewhere but checking to make sure our spouses/partners are not left in the lurch with responsibilities while we go have fun is a good way to keep our relationships solid. Mocking another person by emasculating them is a deal breaker for me.

Unpopular opinion: Whoever lives in the house should help take care of the house, including children. Children need to be taught to do all that they can to help keep the house clean and neat. Adults should have equal share of the housework, down to the science of it. Creating a schedule is necessary to make it happen.

My ex did more housework than I did, but she also constantly insisted on doing more work than I wanted her to do. We just had different standards of clean. I would say, "sit down and watch this movie with me," and she'd say "I haven't cleaned the kitchen floor this week." And I would look at it and say "it looks fine, sit down and watch a movie with me." I'm progressive, and I'm all for equal distribution of work, but sometimes people just have a mismatch over what they want. I really got sad at how obsessed she had become over a "perfect, tidy, clean house." I would have rather had her time than that.

Because women on average are more sensitive to mess than men. Regardless of which sex it is, the path of least resistance is for the partner who is more alert to notify the other partner and request their assistance. If the house _must_ be cleaner than your partner cares for, the least you can do is help him help you.

Liberals are destroying the nuclear family. The nuclear family has lifted many out of poverty and it creates the most stable and happy households. When you deprive a woman of her natural gender role, negative consequences follow. That's why men don't seek a partner that is successful (a career woman). They want a woman who is beautiful, smart, caring, and can cook and clean. It isn't that difficult.

Does housework include yard work? If not, then it’s skewed. I know women in couples who also blow the snow and rake the leaves and cut the grass. But the leisure time says it all, really. It’s more interesting which chores men are willing to live without in order to have leisure time vs women. Also, study same sex couples and division of labor. There’s much to really learn and maybe improve if we dive beneath the surface.

Agree with K.O. I'm single. have never been married because I despised how my sisters and I had to do household chores and my brother did nothing. He made 3 times more mess and couldn't even be bothered to pick up his plate and take it to the sink for washing. My mother worked a full time job and had to rely on us to do the laundry etc. My father did nothing around the house because he was the "bacon maker", but worked a shorter work day than my mother. My friends all complain about their do nothing but "bring home the bacon" partners. Those partners do not know birthdays, doctor/dentist/teacher names, those partners don't remember her birthday, many of the partners have no clue what is her favorite color/music/movie/etc etc etc. The partners spend no time with their children, but complain when the kids get in his way. All my friends do ALL the cooking/shopping/food prep/housework/childcare/yardwork etc etc AND do 40- 50 hr work week to also "bring home the bacon". Many do the so-called heavy lifting of mainteneance, repairs and painting because hubby needs some downtime fromhis hectic 40 hr work week. The girls all work 100+ hour work week, but the hubby is annoyed when the dinner isn't on the table. I have re-wired/re-plumbed stuff the hubs finally managed to do but since the "work" was so so so bad, I fixed the he man "repair" so their house didn't burn down and so the sink worked. Most are retired from outside jobs and the men still do nothing around the house. My friends eye my clean house with no manbaby to continue raising and voice envy. My daughter grew up understanding the difference between my household and that of friends, neighbors and etc. My daughter is 37 and also has zero intention of raising a man baby. She is much much much happier than her friends. Go figure.

@@belindarocky961 White and Black men have the highest rate of dying alone in hospital because they "f@#ked up their relationships with their kids and wives/girlfriends." This is an issue because hospitals and care homes have to find the next of kin for burial. Often there is so much animosity toward the father who refused to pay spousal/child benefit, physically and sexually abused the women and children and denied paratage, that these loved ones refuse to sign for the body and pay for burial or creamarion (in some states/countries less than $1500). The result is the care home, hospital and morgue have to dispose of these bodies. Most are buried in unmarked or city graves with the result of subsequent children/wives/girlfriends not being able to retrieve the body for proper burial leading to mental health issues. All this because some men feel entitled to not contribute to household chores nor raising the kids. Refusing to do household chores and be involved has consequences. White, Black, Hispanic, Jewish, Asian and Native women only die alone when their partner or children is diseased.

We generally don't have to tell our mothers. By that age, if they're still married, they understand that housework also includes the men's traditional stuff that they don't want to do, like shoveling snow, lawn care, plumbing, car maintenance, critter clearing, pool maintenance, gutters, etc. All the hard, nasty, dangerous, climbing, tool, machine and chemical stuff around the house. So when our dad's help out with "domestic duties" a little here and there, they're happy. Also, if they're married then their kids aren't bastards, and people wouldn't exist without our fathers either. Eggs don't turn into babies by themselves.

"Do the laundry" - buhuhu, poor you, you have to push two buttons on a washing machine. I bet you they calculated all the time machine was spinning into womens work. BTW some of that work is something only women think its needed, like ironing. Why would you do that, it only wrinkles back when you wear the damn thing?!?

My husband does as much or more around the house than I do. We are both retired. He does everything outside, mows the lawn and plants the garden, etc. He always takes the trash out. I always shop and cook. We share everything else. We just try to take care of each other. He is the very best man I know. We are happily married for 36 years!!

Is she paying most of the bills? Is she maintaining the cars? Cutting the grass? Shoveling the snow? Yeah you have to be honest about ALL of the things it takes to run a family. I agree with you on parenting though. That absolutely needs to be 50/50. Men shoot themselves in the foot by letting that number get out of balance and saying "well i pay for x" thats not good enough

Why is men doing some housework 'helping' the woman - surely you're both responsible for the house and all work associated with house and garden is the responsibility of both - you're a team, negotiate which jobs you're each going to do, agree to the standard it needs to be done to. Most men don't look at housework the way women do. I grew up with a stepmother who insisted I do all the housework, washing, ironing plus childcare from the age of 13 and she was very definite on how she wanted me to do it. Now she was awful, but most girls are 'trained' by mothers to do housework and how to do it. Even now, boys still don't have that same experience, so when they grow up they see chores in very different ways. The advice I would give is when you first move in with someone do the chores negotiation (everything including garden work, diy etc) and set down expectations from the start. The mistake I made was that I didn't do this and for 15 years I did everything including finances, diy, garden work etc while also working full time+ hours. If I didn't do it, it didn't get done (which happened, I hate housework). Now I'm disabled and have a severe illness, my husband has to do more chores, but trying to get him do do them is so difficult- it's the only thing we argue about. I still do the finances, diy, and most of the chores that get done (sadly things get left now) and I'm pretty relaxed about standards. It's difficult to get him to do the chores a teenager might be expected to do. He says I'm too easy going which he feels let's him off having to do it. I try to explain that everyone hates these chores, but they just have to be done and try to talk reasonably about it. I have no idea how to improve things, I physically can't do it all any more.

What a burden! It's so tiring to think that you did everything for over a decade-and-a-half! It should be more 50/50. I mean why not?. Just because someone has female genitalia doesn't mean they're going to want to spend excessive amount of time on home upkeep! Male or female, nobody wants to do extra work for no reason! Expecially when individuals cleaning up after somebody else who should be perfectly capable of picking up after themselves! It's commendable that you did it for so long! I'm just sorry that you can't because of whatever disability. But I'm even saddened that after all that time of you putting in the work, your husband can't reciprocate..? That sucks! Sure it's not easy I hate chores myself but it's clearly his turn. U did 15yrs (efficiently), now he can, even subpar would be ok..at least w effort. Or if he can't himself maybe he can pay for a housekeeper, one way or another I hope he finds a way to keep house for u (the both of u) out of respect and appreciation for the way you kept it all those years. And I'm sorry you never got a break. It's like you've been doing this excessive work since childhood. And now can't. but I hope somewhere along those times u got at least a little break.

Any man who challenges a womans narrative is an incel. There are videos of women with no job and live solely off their husband talking about how "he does nothing. Why do i even need him?" Meanwhile he is literally paying for everything and she doesn't have to work. So yeah, not every woman is some downtrodden angel married to a brute. Some women are just spoiled and entitled. Some women choose men of poor character and then blame all men. If you choose men based on how hot they make you feel, dont expect sympathy when you find out they dont vaccuum.

Although it’s rare, housework sometimes lands more in husbands camp (as in our case), because the other spouse has a more demanding job or simply because the spouse has to put more work in to advance their career. It’s just a different way to split work. Neither of us is lazy and the family is better off for it. I do understand however that the power dynamics can be tricky if the income gap is also high like when taking time to have babies. This is not an issue in ours as the income gap is within 20% now that the child bearing years are done .

The cultural shift took place 75 years ago during the Civil Rights movement and when women entered the job market full-time in the 70s. That men refuse to step up to the plate is the issue. If a couple is in a traditional marriage, I can respect that. However, most women bring income and are EXPECTED to help pay the rent and bills. If there are kids, the wife's income also pays for clothes and shoes while the man still gets to keep the majority of hus income, not help out in household chores nor raise his kids. That's entitlement and not fair. Hence the high rates of divorce. Women aren't tolerating being married but single mothers because some husbands demand to be treated like their fathers and grandfathers.

When I look around as long as the place is comfortable with nothing overt needing to be handled, I'm content to do a little tiddying here and there with a big power out cleaning once a month or so. wheres for my partners there is more of a daily concern for thorough cleanliness and more esthetic ambition.

@C I am the one that does all those things, and again, unless you live in an area where it snows daily, or the yard becomes a mess every single day, those chores are not comparable. It's not that every task should be shared, but the responsibility of maintaining a household should be split evenly. Daily chores: split. Weekly chores: split. Monthly chores: split. Seasonal chores: split. It's not difficult to come to a compromise so that one partner doesn't feel overworked and exhausted while the other is chilling drinking a beer.
