I'm so angry!

[Puddin Pop]

I just read the new US News and Report and a poll indicated that women
spend on average 358 hours cleaning (per year not lifetime). UGH! I want to
throw something.

That comes to less than 7 hours a week. Doesn't sound so terrible to
me. You can't extrapolate a lot from a bare statistic like that. How
many of those women are singles or single moms, how many have 4 or
more kids, how many of their husbands spend as much or more time doing
yard and repair work... Oh, a whole bunch of things.

Don't know about you, but I'd rather do housework than mow the lawn or
fix the car.

I wonder is that includes laundry, dishes, and clean-up after meal prep?

Yes and my Husband this week told me I do *NOTHING*. Just on call 24/7
whenever he wants something you know. Fetching beers and coffees, ironing
and doing laundry. I was too pissed off even to reply. I just left it.

That is less than one hour per day. Doesn't seem excessive to me.

Well, at least it's less than an hour a day. I would have thought it
would be more. But still... Did it say how much the average man cleaned
each year? Did it include doing the laundry as cleaning?

If you're going to throw something, I'd throw money at it. Work harder,
earn more, then pay some other woman to do the cleaning.

Or buy a robot vacuum to do some of the cleaning. There's one out now
called a Roomba that seems to do a good job from what I've heard.

You're better off paying a man and getting the job done properly.

Most men I've ever know are dust-blind. It completely goes under their
radar.
