Hosehold chores are boring and not valued by the people who doesn't do them, neither pay for them.

A normal household with children do need to be cleaned everyday. Specially if there are todlers there. At least if you don't want the children to get ill.

Sure, if there are two adults, you might get by with just one cleaning a week and paying someone to do it is not that expensive. Of course, you would still need to do groceries, cook, clean kitchen after, do laundry, put the dishes in the dishwasher, etc. Somehow, even if that is "not big deal", many men don¡t do even that.

I think that you have never look at the cost of the services you are listing for the real hours that you would need (24x7 if there are children involved).

I do have a career and work full time. But when I was single, I found out that many men still expected me to do all the household chores. "It was no big deal" if I was the one doing them, but apparently it was if they have to do even a fraction. Oh, and "why waste money in someone doing those things if you can do it?" Because apparently, babysitters, daycare, a maid are expensive when you have to actually pay them. And many won't work at certain hours while the children would remain there.

I was ucky to find someone who does his share and doesn't complain about the cost of paying someone to clean. But your words show that you neither value the work, neither are you doing it.

Don't get me wrong, I don't want and never have wanted to be a stay at home wife. I'm happy with my career. But I've always resented that I'm still expected to do 100% of housechores by some people (traditionalist). And I resent that they claim that it is "not big deal" even if men are unnable to do them. If it is so easy, do them yourself.

Honestly? Working full time outside the home is way better and easier than being a stay at home wife. And the benefits are also way better.
