[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I guess the wage gap myth can die.  Women are graduating colleges and getting jobs at higher rates.

In any case - let's define housework as well.  I don't vacuum, do laundry very much if at all.  Know what I've done?  Put in new floors, built a garden, all outdoor work, maintain vehicles to the best of my abilities (I'll take it in for complex stuff), replace lighting fixtures, outlets, plumbing (I outsource hard stuff, plumbing can ruin your house if you mess up..trust me), pet upkeep (feeding, walks, vet visits)...

So let's see them break up that.  How many women now the lawn, out in floors, do demolition or repair things?  Not many I reckon.[/quote]

I've done most of these things too. Minus plumbing (beyond replacing toilet guts). Plus drywall repair and all of the a/v in our house. Bike repair. We outsourced the deck - excavation is a back breaking bitch. Used to paint and powerwash in younger days, but outsource that now.

Does your DH help at all? Mine will help, but I'm generally more handy. I hate more typical housework. I never do dishes unless DH is out of town.
