Lately after reading some of the chapter 8 articles about what chores are typically known as women’s chores; the ones that men usually never want to do, I got to thinking about who mostly does these chores in the household that I live in.  I ended up coming to the conclusion that both my parents do both an equal amount of time into what is so-called “women’s work.”  For one, my mother hates cooking, she says she is a terrible cook and everything she trys to make turns out burnt or bad.  My dad is the one who does all the cooking around the house, and he doesn’t mind at all; he is very good at cooking too.  Both my dad and mom clean the house, wash dishes, do laundry, etc.  My dad actually tries to get more done than my mom, or finish it before she wakes up in the morning to surprise her and let her have a day to relax.  Never once can I recall my dad complaining about having to do any kind of work in the house.  He’s not one that sees some work as only work of a certain gender.  I think it is really great that my dad has a personality like that and will actually do the work and not make a big deal about it.  He also has never done a half ass job on cleaning either.
