Men, on the other hand, see the hours they commit to housework decline once they begin living as a couple, she found.
Hold on - Something has seriously gone wrong, my housework went up when I got married. And I must tell the wife the average housewife does 9 hours a day, so she had better get her a**e into gear.

I'm with you on this one.... putting the washing machine on and waiting for it to finish does not constitute 2 hrs washing. It takes 2 mins to load the damn thing and about 5 seconds to find the power button...:rofl::rofl::p

..and don't you love the way the washing fairies come and hang it out on the line, fetch it in when it's dry and how they know which drawer/wardrobe to put it all away in again? :sneaky: :D and the cleaning fairies, shopping and cooking fairies, gardening fairies....:eek: :thumbsup:
