“I don’t quite understand the problem. What is so wrong with a husband sharing responsibilities (domestically) for a child or children he is 50% responsible for creating while his wife is also at work to help pay for their lifestyle? ”

They are both 50% responsible, both for the housework and for the income. so if she is in fact making only $0.70 to his %1.00, she needs to pick up that slack ta home to make things even.

“……….and doing her share? ”

……….as I was saying – equal, equal.

I can’t think of one job in a house that is emasuclating. I can see how bringing home most of the income and then being harangued to do half the housewiork is infuriating. It is especially infuriating if a lot of household tasks such as car maintenance, cleaning the gutters and yardwork are somehow not counted as tiem spent doing housework. Time commuting also somehow magically falls out of a lot of these studies too. That could be a litle irritating.
