How much of the housework/chores around the home do you do?

This is probably a case of two symptoms of the same cause rather than a cause and symptom.  Sure there is correlation, but it's because people who are in traditional marriages (where the woman does most of the housework) also are more resistant to divorce for moral reasons.

Absolutely, keep the women oppressed and they are a lot less likely to screw around on you and are more likely to put up with it when you screw around on them.  Amiright?  Maybe even brainwash them with a religion that tells them they must honor and obey their husband no matter what.

Agree on doing my wife's laundry.. Screwed it up once about 10 years ago( shrunk one item) and still hear about it :rolleyes: so her laundry is off limits..

I'll do my own once in a while, but she mostly does it.. Might change when our daughter moves out in 2 or 3 years, but right now just easier to do all of it as one big mess.

yea, when it comes to laundry I learned what you do will haunt you for a very long time.

Never mind the fact she has shrunk 2 of my sweaters and once let a red sock slip in with the whites and I ended up having to throw away what became pink tube socks.. :whistle:    <<her

 
60-40 or 70-30 in my favor.

I ask her to keep working when she doesn't have to.  I work from home a lot.

I'm not allowed to touch the kids clothes though.. I don't fold them right.  :loco:

:lmao:  i do all the kids laundry, fold them and leave them in a basket because she loses her mind when i don't put them away the right way

she hates how i fold but hates folding more so tolerates it

 
Are we factoring in what the kids do? - I ####### make all the money, those little bastards have to earn their keep somehow.

I'd say:

Wife - 40%

Me - 30%

Kids - 30%

 
She does 80% of the cleaning.  I do all the cooking and 80% of the yard work.  I'd like to hire some people to take over the cleaning though because she kind of sucks at it.  I earn 75% of the money and I'm better looking than 99% of all husbands.

She's the clear winner is this relationship. 

 
Depends on the season usually.  Spring-Fall it's about 50/50 but winter I'm closer to 25%.

Yes, yes, precisely.  It's all in the handbook, "How to Oppress Your Wife Using the Bible".  Textbook, really.  You see, we don't care about them as people, pretty much just want an obedient slave or like a cow I can milk whenever I want.  Glad to see you understand things so well.

 
I probably do a little less than half over the course of the year. Wife is a teacher, so during the school year it's about 50 / 50 and she handles 90% when she's off over the summer.

Obviously not but it does seem kind of weird to non-Christians to use a 2k old book as a primer on how a man and women should relate to each other in a marriage.

You mean this handbook?:

Ephesians 5:22: “Wives, be subordinate to their husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is head of his wife just as Christ is head of the church, he himself the savior of the body. As the church is subordinate to Christ, so wives should be subordinate to their husbands in everything.”

1 Corinthians 11:7-10 “the head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is her husband, and the head of Christ is God. Man is the image and glory of God, but woman is the glory of man. For man was not made from woman, but woman from man. Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.” 

Genesis 3:16 “yet your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you.” 

I could go on, but, you get what I mam saying.  You might have started to call them equals in the past 50 years or so, but, isn't that weird how the church can change with the social pressures of the times?  I mean we almost had a women president, however there will never be a women Pope, bishop, or legitimate women priests.  Or as Pope Francis has said, "The Roman Catholic Church’s teaching that women cannot be ordained as priests is likely to last forever.." later citing the apostolic letter that says ordaining women was not possible because Jesus only choose men as his apostles.

Much of the Bible is older than 2,000 years, but I'm not sure why that matters.

Also, that book was the primer for our societal structure and our concepts of justice, law and freedom.

This got deep fast.  Wasn't the bolded stuff in place long before the bible was written the first time?

 
To get to a society that has been uninfluenced by Biblical concepts, you have to look at  India, the Far East or Central Africa.

Because as we evolve as people the bible doesn't evolve with us.  Women were completely 2nd class citizens valued only for their ability to nurture children and to screw.  The bible doesn't reflect the new reality that many women in fact are far more capable then their men.

I mean, not my woman of course, but for tons of FBGs this is obviously the case.

 
I do 90% of the laundry.  I do 90% of the dishes.  I do 30% cooking.  I do 100% yard work/trash.  I do 90% of the cleaning. I do 50% of the bills.  She does most (90%) of the shopping, I just help put the stuff away when she/we, come home. I do most of the stuff because I can't stand waiting for stuff to get done.  Sink is full, hampers are full, furniture or floors a mess, I like to see that stuff get done.  She waits longer.  It will get done if I wait, but I don't like a dirty house.  So I just do it.  She does do most of the stuff for the kids (doc appt, etc), but I do clean up after them most of the time.  The kids are hers from a previous marriage.

Some influence sure, and it's up for debate on whether the sum of that influence is positive or negative imo.  Vast influence, as in we wouldn't have made it without it, is absolutely incorrect.  Human's evolution of morality had developed all the following characteristics long before the bible was ever written: Attachment and bonding, cooperation and mutual aid, sympathy and empathy, direct and indirect reciprocity, altruism and reciprocal altruism, conflict resolution and peacemaking, deception and deception detection, community concern and caring about what others think about you, and awareness of and response to the social rules of the group.  Religion emerged after the vast sum of our morality was already developed, or even as an unintended result from it.

I thought that was pretty well accepted history that the Bible has had vast influence on our society.  Not sure how that is a false assumption.

You ought to do well by yourself if you just read some of the information you link to:  

Some of the things that Christianity is commonly criticized for include the oppression of women, condemnation of homosexuality, colonialism, and various other violence. Christian ideas have been used both to support and to end slavery as an institution. The criticism of Christianity has come from the various religious and non-religious groups around the world, some of whom were themselves Christians.

The teachings of the Church have also been used to "establish[...] the status of women under the law".[42] There has been some debate as to whether the Church has improved the status of women or hindered their progress.

You consider 30% hit rate a good primer on your planet?  

If the bible was the "primer" for our morality then you would expect the vast majority, if not all, of it's aspects to be represented in our "culture of laws, justice and freedoms".  But, as you allude it just isn't the case.

We both work full time, 2 kids

She does most of the house cleaning—dust, vacuum, bathrooms, etc.—But I'll jump in on changing sheets, folding, etc. 

I do the outside—mow, most of the yard upkeep, garbage—but we both will plant, spread mulch, etc. 

We split on things like shopping, errands, dropping off/picking up kids based on who is where.  

i.e. yesterday, she was prepping meals for the week, so I ran out to do the grocery shopping. This time of year, she works on Saturdays, so I'll pick up more of the responsibility for the next few weeks. But on her way home she may jump off and do the grocery shopping because she is 'already out'.   

Can't really put a % on it b/c we try and keep it kind of fluid. 

Summer time she is off, so she will do a bit more during the week so our weekends get freed up. She well even mow from time to time if we have a busy weekend coming up. Overall, I think we have a pretty good system of not worrying about "who's job is who's"

This sounds similar to my situation right down to the Mrs.'s riding the yard every now and then.
