This typical division of labor is unequal because the women's share is a DAILY, NEVER-ENDING share (tidying up after young kids, for example). It's not a mowed lawn or new lightbulb that can be admired for days. It's a tidied room that will get destroyed 5 minutes later, so your spouse never gives you enough credit for it, because the fruit of your labors are transient. The meal is eaten, the dishes are dirtied again, the bathroom gets messy again: instead of noticing when it's clean, husbands notice when it's messy!

And hiring cleaners doesn't help you when the problem is TIDYING UP, because cleaners can only clean a house where stuff is picked up and put away. And who does that? Often, it's only the woman of the house. I could clean my house effortlessly if all my family pitched in to pick up after themselves! But they don't, unless I nag them.

I had to explain this to my husband, many, many times. He's so proud of his occasional DIY projects and yard work. Yeah, I'd like to see him tackle the daily tasks, especially the tidying up.
