Husbands create 7 hours of extra housework a week
NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - For married women who can't figure out why they always have so much housework researchers may have the answer -- husbands.
A new study from the University of Michigan shows that having a husband creates an extra seven hours of extra housework a week for women. But a wife saves her husband from an hour of chores around the house each week.
"It's a well-known pattern. There's still a significant reallocation of labor that occurs at marriage -- men tend to work more outside the home, while women take on more of the household labor," said Frank Stafford, of the university's Ins ute for Social Research (ISR), who directed the study.
"And the situation gets worse for women when they have children," he added in a statement.
Stafford's findings are based on 2005 time-diary data from a study on income dynamics that has been conducted since 1968 at ISR.
The researchers studied diaries to assess how people spent their time and questioned men and women about how much time they spend cooking, cleaning and doing basic work around the house.
They found that young single women did the least amount of housework, at about 12 hours a week. Married women in their 60 and 70s did nearly twice that amount, while women with more than three children spent 28 hours a week cleaning, cooking and washing.
But it's not as bad as it used to be. In 1976 women did an average of 26 hours of housework a week, while men did about six, according to the study,

If it wasn't for me, no housework would get done.
Guess I brought that average down just a bit...
...and to fetch us a beer!
The problem is you women spend 4 hours doing a 10 minute job. Everything has to be some kind of production. For s sake just get the job done already.
You should write a book.
Find me a sponsor and a publisher and I will flow the river wild.
Actually this is true in most of the relationships of my best friends.If it wasn't for me, no housework would get done.

Article is a joke…married LA Princesses do not do housework…The have maids, nanny’s & cooks…That is why their husbands work 6 & 7 days a week…
Imagine that. Cleaning up after two people takes longer than cleaning up after yourself. These survey guys are ing smart. Quick, somebody get them a Nobel Prize.
money well spent on that.
Some men. like myself for instance, are well worth the extra work.
