A sister post to Mudder’s Notta Housewife? Below.

Funny Mudder should post Notta housewife? As if someone can question her housewifery just because she has another full time job on top of her full time house wife work.I always had a sneaking suspicion that men helped more when dating a woman, simply to "catch her".Using a shining wedding or engagement ring to "land her", and then…PooF!! The amazing man who cooked and cleaned, lit candles to make the house smell nice, and helped pick out paint colors that matched the dish towels you loved from an antique shop on a weekend getaway suddenly disappears, leaving a wonderful replica who adores the way you cook, clean and fusses when you’re too busy to turn down the sheets or set out fresh hand made soaps that smell like ginger and spice.(And somehow magically notices when you change fabric softner!)

Okay that may be a bit much, but here’s a study I found that was recently released that proves at least some of my thinking correctly, and proves that Poor Mudder is absolutely a housewife, no matter what else she does to also help bring in the bacon.And with that much more on one’s plate, as in the case of a work at home Mom or Dad, it likely feels like she has to wrastle the darn pig, hold it down, kill it, and strip the meat her darn self as well, only to have to package it and make a meal after the bloodletting is over.

Shew! A housewife and then some. Here’s to you Mudder!!

Here’s an excerpt from the article:

"Women who complain their spouses don’t do enough around the house now have some real proof.

Married men worldwide report doing less housework than unmarried cohabiting men, according to an international study of 17,636 men and women in 28 countries. Findings are published in the September issue of the Journal of Family Issues.

In the study by researchers at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., and North Carolina State University in Raleigh, cohabiting men report doing more housework than married men, and cohabiting women report doing less housework than married women, although cohabiting men still do less than cohabiting women."
