hi!!! I thing that the traditionals womans that only make home works are becoming different, because there are womans that are profesionals and can win more money than a man, so in this case i thing that is better that the man do the home works!!!

Of corse we can pretend that a man make the things so righ than a women do!!!

For example, if i do the laundry i will distroy all the cloths if nobody teach me how to do that..... so there are things that the women do better than a man, and you gears have to admit that the man do things that is more difficult for you, for example, fixing things in the house.

Hi all of you!

Umm...Well... I think that both women and men are able to work in the house cleaning without any trouble if they were taught properly. And actually they should clean the house together and not leave those shores for only one of them.

I really think that the cleaning and the house shores are cultural matters, this means that if in Taiwan there are more women who do the shores it's because of Taiwan's culture and so on in the other countries. In latin countries it is very common to see that is the woman who cleans, cooks and takes care of the babies; in european countries there are many men who are beginning to work at home for reasons that I do not know, probably because new ways of seeing stuff and being more opened to new opinions; in asian countries there are more women who stay at home than men and that's because of the society who thinks that women should be a way while men another way.

So, in conclusion, house shores aren't only for women, but for both and it is both who must make the decision of saying who'll be incharged of each matter and also try to do everything together.

See you soon!

Household chores are actually a good exercise, and they can help us unwind. Put on some music while doing them.
Sometimes, when I am stressed, I like to wash dishes.
Unfortunately, my work hours are such that I am not available at home for household work, so I have to rely on domestic help, which is easily available in India.

As for cleanliness, I think if everyone is committed to it, the place won't be messy in the first place. The house should be treated like an office. People don't mess the place in the office.

I am fortunate to have not worked with engineers Bob, . My clan is infested with them, and I feel somebody should write to those universities to include in the curriculum training them in putting things back from where they picked them up.
I think those jobs that involve dealing with people (who'd be of different types) are more stressful than those that involve dealing with machines.
So the rest of us are more likely to be stressed in messy surroundings.
