The Chore Wars
The role men play inside the home has certainly started to evolve compared to 30 years ago, and most men seem to be stepping up to help with household chores. But is it enough and are they given credit for their efforts by their female counterparts? Apparently not. The makers of Scrubbing Bubbles have released the second annual Dirty Work Index survey and found when it comes to cleaning, women still play the dominant role and may not be ready to share the spotlight even though they want more help. The down and dirty facts:
-
When it comes to cleaning, women think they do it all. In fact,
58% of women say it’s their “job” to clean, and 25% of all women feel
as if they’re the cleaning “leader” in their homes.
-
More than half of women said they want more help from their
partner or spouse, but 38% don’t trust them to meet their standards of
cleanliness.
-
45% of men say it’s their job to clean and contribute to the
household. More surprisingly, nearly 75% of men claim to clean to make
their spouse or partner happy – demonstrating they do care about helping
out and are picking up the slack.
