    Rose is getting sleepy

    I think a really important question for couples to answer BEFORE they get married is "Who should do what of the housework? At that stage the question will seem trivial because most couples don't get the issues behind it, but it says a lot about the relationship and the expectations and beliefs of the people concerned, not to mention their attitude to the opposite sex which often comes from their upbringing.I had one long-term relationship without children and another with children. In the first we had equally well=paid careers, and joint ownership of assets. All chores were shared - it was done without question. In my second relationship, chores were shared during the period when the situation was the same as above but changed radically as more children arrived and as my working hours decreased. When they were older, I went back to work full-time but the situation re chores did not revert back to sharing them, despite constant requests from me. I think by then I had become his "mother" figure and the person who "of course" naturally looked after everything to do with the home, including maintenance, lawn mowing etc. This was how his parents had been although ironically his mother had had a career as well: she just worked like a dog to fit in all in. It took me a long time to really get angry about my situation and change it.Society generally just ignores it.
