It has been my experience that men work harder than women. I know that no one works harder than my husband at work or doing things here at home. Although I do work outside the home, I do that part time and my work is not as demanding as his is. I do work very hard taking care of our children and our home, he does as well. His "Honey-Do" list is never ending and always includes jobs that are very demanding (repairing pipes, installing flooring, repairing appliances, putting in a new lawn etc.) It often seems to me that he never stops. I am thankful for his hard-work and it is one of the things I love most about him.

In my opinion, women work harder. We are the natural caregivers and for those of us who work outside the home it is even harder on us. My husband and I both work 8 plus hours a day and when I get home I don't even kick my shoes off. I go straight into job number 2. That includes checking & correcting homework for my 12 & 13 year olds trying to entertain my 5 and 2 years olds while getting dinner on the table hopefully before 7:45pm. Then cleaning the kitchen, giving baths to the younger 2 of the four and yelling at the older two for waiting for me to tell them take their showers. Getting my baby girl off to bed (she has special needs) then a shower for myself and bed by about 10:45-11pm. My hubby during this time is on the couch watching tv, or playing internet poker or dosing off. Then we go to sleep and I get up 2 to 3 times during the night to put the baby back to sleep. Who works more......are you kidding me? That's just a weekday. I also do laundry, the finances, the grocery shopping, the doctor and dentist visits, the cooking and cleaning. I usually get help from my husband when I get a little psychotic and he's afraid of me (LOL) but then it's only temporary and he's back to his spot on the couch and I'm trying to juggle all over again. It's a vicious cycle. Don't get me wrong I'm not complaining or bashing him, he's a great man and excellent father and very involved with the kids, just not so involved in sharing the load of the house. After he gets off work he just kinda chills out til it's time for work again and when he sees that I'm near to having a nervouce bre

In my opinion, now days it's equal. At least in my home it is. We both work 8-9 hour shift as well as 5-6 days a week. When we get home, we split the chores and erands to spend more time together when we're done. It works perfect and we do everything much quicker. He cleans the car out, I clean the house. I cook and he cleans the kitchen. I give our son a bath and he changes him. This is so important in living a good balanced life with your family.

IM A 26 YEARS OLD.. AND I STRONGLY BELIEVE WOMAN WORK HARDER.. DUE TO, WOMAN COMING HOME AFTER A DAYS WORK AT THE OFFICE TO WORKING AT HOME... IS NOT LIKE US MEN WHEN WE SAY, OH WE ARE HEADING HOME AND WE ARE GOING TO REST... AND JUST LAY DOWN OR KICK BACK.. WOMAN HAVE TO GO HOME, COOK DINNER, WATCH THE CHILDREN AND JUST TAKE CONTROL OF EVERYTHING... I DONT THINK ITS FARE, WHEN BOTH THE HUSBAND AND THE WIFE GET HOME THEY SHOULD DUE EQUALLY AT HOME... IF SHE SERVES DINNER, ITS ONLY FARE TO STAY WITH HER AND HELP HER CLEAN THE KITCHEN OR CLEAN AFTER YOUR CHILDREN.. AND CLEAN THE RESTROOM ONCE IN A WHILE.. JUST APPRICIATE WHAT YOU HAVE AND HELP OUT ALOT.. BECAUSE SHE IS TIRED TOO... THATS WHAT I THINK...

i have to say i think most men work harder. i mean come on, i used to work 6 days a week, 10 + shifts in construction. hard, heavy lifting labor. i was out in the hot sun, 100+ degrees. bloody, blisters all over my fingers and feet, no shade, no water, and only to return home exhuasted but still having to do my daily duties with the few hours left in my day. which is to clean up my place, do my laundry, cook, and still make time for a social life. i doubt any girls would be able to hang in that type of a lifestyle.

my daily duties at work were digging up dirt and mud, breaking rocks, carrying heavy lumber (100+ pounds) and transporting it on your shoulder for a block or 2. no way can a girl do that. well i havent seen any girls do it yet. and this is the life for me and all the guys i worked with at the site. plus many more around the country.

MY4KIDS>>>>>> you got it nailed all the way!! this is the real world we live in and absolutly men may physically be working harder but there comes a point they get their "REST TIME" when do women get theirs.. I couldnt agree more with you.

actually, i have a girlfriend at that time to do all that stuff for me, i just never wanted her too. she didnt make the mess, so why should she clean it? so i always took responsiblity of my own stuff. still do, and i always will feel that way.

Around this time, there is always more women at the gym than men.

Tired of curd, the bit is out...these women are 'hot to trot.'

No kidding.

im lazy my husband works way more then me thats for sure

my husband and i work the same hours and do the same kind of work, but when i get home i cook, clean and do the laundry while he sit on the couch and watches tv all day. the only way he will get up off the couch is for dinner. i gave him one thing to do and it is to take out the trash and he still cant do that. that is why if we bring a kid into this i will not work at all i dont need 2 kids. lol

SAMO714 i have done construction too i was doing stuff like that with my dad since i was 12 and a just got a desk job 4 months ago. i just thought i would let you know girls do that kind of stuff too. :)
