Are Women Programmed To Clean?

There really are many opinions but the question still remain are women genetically programmed to stay at home and take care for the children and the house? You have no idea what I read in some blogs and forums.

If The Woman Is Not Working

A really big fight over something really insignificant, of course it is a lot of work no one can deny this, but really fighting about chores is childish. If a woman stays at home and take care for the children she should also clean the house. Not that it would be easy, especially if the children are small and their sole purpose is to make a mess. But it is accomplishable with a lot of effort and some yelling.

If Both Are Working

On the other hand if a woman goes to work every single day, five days in the week than I think it is natural to share the cleaning chores between the members of the family. In this case men don't have any apology 'I’m really tired because I go to work' doesn't count any more. And since you're both going to work it is natural that your children are old enough to help with the chores as well (if yo have kids of course).

If The Man Is Not Working

The third option is for men to stay at home taking care for the children and doing all the cleaning and cooking while the woman goes to work. But to be honest with you I can't think of anyone who is in the third case. Unfortunately the old understandings are still present nowadays, unless you have found the right man. I most certainly have, he is wonderful and doesn't think he's superior, treats me like a lady and we do almost everything together.

The Perfect Option

We're both working, therefore we don't have much time to clean and in fact this is the last thing we want to do when we come home. Instead we order or cook dinner, eat and pal on the couch watching a film. Of course this doesn't happen every day because there are some chore which can't be postponed for the end of the week. In these cases we gather the remaining strength and try to finish with the chore/chores as soon as possible.

As for the weekends, we try to get up relatively early and with combined efforts we are done with all the cleaning before noon. The dust is removed, the carpets are vacuumed, all the rooms are cleaned including the sink, coffee machine, upholstery and bathtub all you can think about.
