I run my own business, maintain 7 vehicles, take care of a couple dogs, have plenty of time to date and vacation, I keep my own house, do my own laundry, shopping and cooking.
The housekeeping related chores take less than an hour a day and maybe 2-3 over the weekend.
Women talk as if it is some insurmountable task to dust or vacuum.
The worst part is some guys actually believe it.
These women are at the spa, or salon, they're shopping or at Starbucks with their friends, or they're boning the gardener or UPS man. They spend an hour doing house keeping chores and when " He" gets home she b!tches what a hard day she has had .
I gotta call a big B.S. on this one.
Anyone else know where I'm come'n from on this one?

Those who have kids, You chose to have them, so don't complain about it!
And yes if I had a wife I'm sure I would have more work to do, cleaning up after her.

Dusting is dusting, regardless of how many are there, Cooking is cooking be it a big pot or a small one.
If one lives alone, a couple or a herd, all the same stuff needs to be done.
Example, if the car is a little dirty or very dirty, the cleaning proceedure is exactly the same.

I don't consider this bragging, I take care of my resposibilities and don't complain about it, it's what we all should do.
I'm just sick of hearing so many women inflating the difficulty of simple household chores , BFD

I'm with you totally! It's the biggest crock o' poo there is. And not only that, but whatever housework we men do, for some reason it NEVER compares with the hard work you women do around the house. It's all a scam.

Boy would I love to trade YOU places! Walk in someone elses shoes and really experiance life to its fullest! You just have no idea! When you choose to get married and have children, there is a lot of work to go with it and rewards and sacrifices too!
Although I am not a complainer, I also dont live the life you describe as shopping and star bucks and spas! I chose to get married and have kids. Yes I did choose to have kids, (7 of them, 5 of which are special needs) and know raising a psecial needs grandson, and yes it is very hard work! But ALL women do not complain and spend their days at spas! For the women who dont like it and complain incessantly, get a different life! And YOU are either going to stay single or have to find the perfect woman to compliment you and the way you live! I used to be super mom! When the last 3 kids were born, I was in a wheelchair and stayed there 5 years. Now I am old and worn out, and still have all the chores and responsibilities of being a mom and wife. Hubby travels for work 7-10 thousand miles a month but still comes homes and helps with diapers, cars, chores, errands dusting and whatever else is needed because he KNOWS how hard it is to try to do it alone. He doesnt beleive that this is all womens work and shares in everything and hasnt complained once in over 25 years. I think somewhere in your past you might have had some experiance with the family thing, and maybe it didnt work for you or you were with an exceptional complainer or slacker! But the way you write your post makes me wonder what kind of husband you'd be! You wanna know whats worse than a worn out complaing wife? A husband who comes home after work or play and sits on the couch and does nothing to help! It takes 2 to have kids, animals or whatever!

I'm a stay at home mom and housewife and I truely don't have time to "bone" the gardener or the UPS man....I don't even have a gardener, I'm the gardener!!! I do it all, cook, clean, laundry (daily), take care of kids, and dogs, I do all the grocery shopping, pay all the bills on time and keep the check book in order! But I'm not complaining!!!! I chose to do this! Yes it would be nice if my hubby did a little bit around the house like throw his dirty laundry down the chute instead of leavig it infront of the laundry chute, or take his own plate to the sink after dinner, but hey he works full time and is tired so its alright. I love my job and I'm very lucky to be able to stay home and be a mom and wife. And my day doesn't consist of going to Starbucks (not even a starbucks in my small town) or to the spa or salon or shopping for fun. I'm home all day with my children, taking care of them and the house. But sometimes it is difficult. Try having to deal with a very sick vomiting 3 yr old and a newborn (who you are praying doesn't get sick as well) and still take care of the house and the dishes and yourself. Its a little overwhelming to say the least. But it can be done and it does get done, and everything works out the way it should. I've even been on the other side of the fence and worked a full time job and still took the time to do everything I do now! But like I said I chose to do this and so I won't complain about my job. Its great to be able to take a nap in the middle of the day if I want to and my children are napping as well. Its great being my own boss! And as you can see I also have the time to get onto the computer and play a little durring the day. I wouldn't trade my job for the world!!!!!!

Its not hard at all, unless you're having to clean up after a pig of a man. I don't mind cooking and cleaning now that I'm single. I resented every moment of it when all he'd do is make a mess after I spent all day cleaning. And I worked a FT job as well mind you.
All the domestic stuff is easy when you're single. I get the house cleaned from top to bottom and all the laundry done by noon on saturdays even while caring for a 7 month old baby.
Its simple when I don't resent anyone.

You definitely sound like the exception - can see that your parents brought you up good. However add a wife and 5 kids to the mix and I think you will see a different side of things. Personally I don't like housework much so my house isn't spotless but usually clean but I married a man who is the same way so we don't have that conflict. Oh course, if company was coming then the house would be spotless but I have too many things on the go - including a full time job - to worry too much about my house. Hey, who has time to bone? (new one on me!) the gardener or UPS man? Hey, who has a gardener!

The only time we ***** is when some of you men give us a reason to *****. Some of you men come home and think that just cause you went to work for 8 hours you are done. Us women work 8 hours and come home and have to take care of everyone else first before herself. And then get to bed late only to do the same thing all over again. And on top of that whe ask you to help and some of you guys whine. So you don't know until you live it. I love my children even though they are dirtying right behind me. So when we don't get the support we need and ask for a little help or just try to speak up, some of you guys call it bitching. Look at yourself first before you criticize others. Generally speaking.

I'm glad to hear that there is a person that has so much energy that you have time to do all that stuff and take care of your self and still have time to get on yahoo answers and complane about something you have no idea about. as much as you brag I bet your house is a reck. as for other woman I don't know about as for me.
I'm 23 have three stepkids that there mom walked away from a husband my dad two of the kids are teenagers and one 11 a large indoor dog. and no help from any of them exceot the kids when they can. and I work full time too. as a server. but to keep my 5bd home clean it is about four to five hours aday. when you think about it 3to4 loads of laundry a day dinner dishes breakfast dishes lunch dishes vacuuming dusting sweeping mopping makeing beds helping with homework taking trash out cleaning bathrooms cleaning the cars, being a nurese to my dad since he had a massive heart attck balancing the check book running errons paying bills buying food clothes shoes get medicens doctors and the million other things i do around hear daily I think I have a right to say that cleaning house is VERY tiring and VEry hard work
at least for me. oh ya and making sure my husband has lunch for work too. I am the only female in a all male house even the dog is male. and not to say it is wrong but both my dad and husband think woman should be bare foot prgnet and in the kitchen even though i hold a full time job and get a lot of overtimetoo.
Thanks I needed to vent today so thank you for rude and crule comments thats just what i needed

All of what you say is true. But, take one thing into consideration.......kids. Children make what we do seem like (forgive the pun)....child's play. But, if a couple doesn't have kids, then it must be the husband, or wife that are "the slobs". Because with 2 grown people in a household....there shouldn't be that much cleaning to be done.

not every woman is like that..i am sure that there are some out there..but you have to remember that women pay more attention to detail when it comes to the home..the same as you would with your vehicles,which means that they probably spend alot more time on it than just an hour...so for the women who take care of the house and kids and laundry and etc...good for them...shame on the ones who *****....i would give anything to be able to stay at home with my children and would worship the ground my husband walks on to support us financialy!!!

For my least fashionable, that's a tie between dishes and laundry. I have fun with getting my glass tables crystal clean, and that i like to hoover around my base boards with the crevice gadget.

I could agree with you if you are talking about a woman who doesn't work a job outside the home and who isn't also taking care of any children and complains about cleaning. But taking care of children is another story. You didn't mention how many children you take care of in the course of your day. Caring for a child isn't as easy as caring for a car or dog.
