“So overwhelmed with everything.” Women are burned out from pandemic chores. Here’s how to make things fair at home.

A few years ago, Sarah Cortell Vandersypen was feeling “so overwhelmed with everything.” So, she decided to type it all up.

The fundraising professional and mom of one created a spreadsheet and entered every chore and child-care responsibility she could think of: taking out the trash, making her daughter’s bottles, replacing empty paper-towel rolls. She marked who was doing what—her or her husband—color-coding as she went , and created a separate column to denote how time-consuming the task was.

Exactly why I will be a housewife. I'm not working, my husband will be providing all of the money

Hopefully yard work, vehicle maintenance, DIY problems, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, installation, etc is included in those stats. I have a feeling it’s not.

NinjaEconomics Is this based on self reporting?

Does yardwork get counted as housework? Honest question.

Wierd. When women go to college in greater percentages than men (even though both men and women also increased college attendance overall), it's worthy of a WSJ jeramiad. But when women leave men behind in having way cleaner homes, WSJ isn't so worried about the lost & dirty men?

I was too busy doing housework to answer that call.

there are two sides to this same coin. While there is this wrong belief that 'women should do housework', there also exists a wrong belief that 'men should provide'. This kind of study does not address the problem as a whole - just the parts that are useful to their rhetoric.

Bitcoin fix this..

Of course domestic work studies and articles always ignore items that tend to skew the division of labor towards Men such as yard work, household repair, and household maintenance.

And men still work more hours in companies. How do you suggest to make that fair then? Guys should work more And still do 50% of the chores, in less time. Yes, that is really fair. Idiots.

ding ding ding ding!!! finally...

The US is so backwards in so many ways. Religion, Racism, Sexism, letting Black/Brown people vote. It's amazing it still hangs together at all. Try telling a modern Scots woman you don't fancy pulling your weight at home! Ye's are a total shambles of a country

Unpopular opinion: If the man is the only person that brings home income, he shouldn't have to do house chores. Works in reverse as well - if the woman makes all the money the man does all the chores.

This. Is. An. Article. In. The. Wall. Street. Journal. I really might have to cancel my subscription.

I thought this was the WSJ?

Y’all making shit up again
