[quote=Anonymous]I’m 53 and this was definitely the model in my house. My brother never did a thing his whole life until he joined the Navy and they taught him to make a bed etc. I was making my bed with hospital corners since middle school, and I vacuumed and dusted for my mom and cleaned bathrooms too by the time I was in high school. I think my brother might have taken the garbage out now and again but typically in my family model men and boys sat on their rears watching sports while women and girls cleaned, shopped, cooked, etc. I know plenty of marriages in my age group where women are doing 80-90% of the domestic labor. This is the primary cause of conflicts along with money and childrearing styles. Whatever chores you might make your kids do in childhood, what will still with them most is the model they watch of how domestic labor is split in your marriage. [/quote]
