Women still do more household work than their partners.

Though women have attained equality in the present age, the household chores and the taking care of children are still the domains of women.

Since many women are working and contributing to the finances of the family , it places undue strains to women who also have to take care of the family and home .

The modern women could be taking on too many roles and it has given rise to the term ,'Superwoman.'

She has to juggle between work and her household duties and this has created a lot of stress , pain and fatigue . Even though some can afford hired help to maintain the home , it still require her supervisions.

Women have a different and higher standards and criteria from men. Their way of doing those chores may not be compatible with each other.

At times , the women can be very fastidious and expect a certain criteria from the men . When it is not met , they will take over from their slip shod and sloppy partners.

The women in the previous generation had only to be the home maker and the separation of gender roles were very distinct unlike the present times where the boundaries are blurred.

The men may have increasingly chipped in to help in doing those traditional female roles like cooking , laundry , helping out with the care of the little tots ..etc.

Despite their willingness to help out, women still do more of the household work than their partners. They feel that they are more suited to those roles.The gender roles are no more rigid and it is not who should do this or that .

The men should be more understanding when some jobs are still unattended to as she is either too busy or too tired . He should not complain or make a scene but to help her out instead.

Women should learn how to delegate their tasks and also learn to accept that men have their ways of doing the same job albeit in a different fashion and which may not satisfy her standards.

Some men are turned off by her strict adherence to her standards only and they will not offer to lend her a willing hand in the home. Don't blame the men for not helping you out!

Live and let live!
