What do men do more of in relationships? (by Sparky)
What do men do more of in relationships?
My wife reads mumsnet and there is a lot of woman commenting on how much more they do. It does not reflect my life or all the men I know. None of the men I know complain about the ?emotional burden? of doing the stereotyped but unseen work of their life. I would say from the group of men I know , in general they tend to do more:
Lawn mowing Gardening Anything with ladders Jar opening Outdoor activities with the kids (cycling, rock climbing, skating etc, ) Long distance driving Late night driving Insurance Roast dinners Large scale cooking BBQs Oil top ups and changes Tyres House maintenance Decking Watering plants Bins Dump runs
Again this is not meant to be a battle of women v men and may just be my group of friends and family
Is this reflective of your lives and do you just get on with it without any complaining
Disclaimer edit This is not meant to suggest men have anything harder. Or woman don?t have it harder. This is not a post to suggest any gender needs to do more or less. Simply are there things that fall to you as a man without anyone noticing or thinking about it. Doesn?t mean you don?t do cooking (I do) or housework (I do) or washing or any multitude of things that are read into a simple exploration of if there are a few things that fall to men.
