[quote=Anonymous]"our research showed that when there’s a man in the house, mothers spend more time cooking, cleaning, shopping and doing laundry than their single-mom counterparts." Ok, well this is actually more about the reality of being a single mom. You have less time for this stuff, so you do less of it. You do take out more, you do PeaPod, you do the laundry on the quick cycle and only when absolutely necessary and push that load size to the breaking point; and you are rarely home, so what is there to clean anyway, and hopefully you are splurging on an cleaning lady because no one can do "it all" by themselves. Cooking, cleaning your own home, sorting laundry and doing reasonalbe sized loads, spending hours in Whole Foods shopping, sampling, maybe visiting the coffee bar there ... these are luxuries of people who have time, and if you have an able and willing partner, you have time.[/quote]
