It's widely assumed that women work more than men, but a new study says that's just not true. What’s your take?

What type ofwork is being discussed? Men work harder atwhattheydo and maydecide notto dosome types ofwork; but they coulddo that work; where asfemalesappear towork longer, but some worktheyjustcannot do or do sowell at.

So inmyopinion, women maywork orappearto neverstopworkingwhere asmen, do kick back but hadworked harder likeload 1500 pounds.

Exceptions, in mycargo transportation job my closes rival isfemale. I feel I must notethat sheout works me buthas hospitalized herself whereI said no Idonot need tokillmyself....

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.

Men work hard, yes they do,
but the age-old adage still holds true.

A man works from son to son-
But a woman's work is never done.

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

(con't) a nervous breakdown then he pitches in a little bit. We've talked about this several times over the years but he just doesn't get it. I even take the cars for their oil changes now and he used to do that but somehow that got added to my pile. Who works more? Ha! Why do you think the first word out of a kid's mouth in need is "MOM!" Yes men are physically stronger but that does not mean you work harder because your job is physical. A non-physical job can be just as stressful and hard on a woman. I believe his job is very demanding of him and so is his "to-do's" at home when he has to fix something around the house but it is not as consistent as the day to day necessities of a mother. The needs are never as sporadic as a leaky faucet, something around the house always needs to be cleaned or the kids are always demanding something so I think women work harder. As far as the 9 to 5, I would agree it's equal especially if both work but the real issue is at home. The scales are waaaaaaay off at home. Do a study there about who works harder in the home and the results will be OVERWHELMING for the women.

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.

Ask a man how big a fish he caught, and its a whopper.... of a lie- ask the same guy how hard he works and he will start moonwalking while sing, "got me working working day and night!" by MJ. so aint nothing change, a man works from sun to sun but woman's work is never done!!

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...

on my opinion women works harder than men but they can also spend more money faster than men.

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.

Samo714 looks like you havent had the luck to find a woman to help you carry the load.. just remember when you do, continue to do all of those things like laundry and cleaning etc. then maybe you might have a point unfortunately, most men dont do those things that you mention and leave it up to their wives to do. They feel that its a womens obligation. Sad but true.

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.

I would say women work harder. I speak for myself when I say, I do work harder. I have a full time job and when I come home I take care of my son. He himself is a full time job. It doesn't stop on the weekends, I still have to wake up early because he needs me, and then still having to look good. LOL.
I do see some men that break their back for their family. I have much respect for them.

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.

Maybe men work harder, but the question is who works more. Women definitely work more. I have a full time job outside of the home, then I go home and work there too. I thought it would be easier now that my daughters are older, but.... not really. Now I'm busy with a bunch of school stuff that they're involved in, auditions, emotional days...you name it.

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. :)
