More often than not, chores are sadly left to the woman of the household.Now, there's no denying that society's expectations of women have indeed been changing.

Over the last half-century, across the developed world, more and more women have gone to work, the gender pay gap has been steadily narrowing, and fathers have spent more time with their children.
Sadly, women are often haunted by the 1950s housewife stereotype...

And are therefore given the bulk of household responsibilities.It is a real issue in today's society.

Studies have found that married American mothers spend almost twice as much time on housework and child care than married fathers do.And, overall in the U.S., women clean more than men do.

American men did an average of fifteen minutes of housework each day, while women did forty-five, the American Time Use Study found.The study also found that most men - seventy-seven percent - did no housework on any given day at all...

While most women - fifty-five percent - did at least some.
She took to Twitter to claim she believes she should be taking care of her husband.

But people were quick to clap back.
This is most cringe worthy tweet I’ve seen in awhile. Put it right there with “I can’t wait to see my husband destroy our kids on a tube” and the ”I can’t wait to pregame with my husband in the parking lot at our daughters dance recital”

Sooooo do you get to pursue any hobbies or passions or is your full time job being a mother to a fully grown adult man?

And we wonder why so many men remain in a perpetual state of adolescence. My 11 year old son is more self-reliant than this dude.

I take care of my boyfriend since we live together, but I’m not trying to be his momma. We do all the chores together and we get up together. He’s a grown man. He knows I take care of him, but he knows he needs to take care of himself. If he works, I work. That’s how it is now.

You laugh/cry, but I had a dude at work that told me and my (female) supervisor that if his wife wasn't around, he couldn't be expected to wake up on time to make it to work. We were like, "Um, no. That's not the way it works."

I’ve been married 30 years. Marriage is a partnership, with give and take and mutual respect for each other, not one person catering to the other. Think about the model you’re setting for your daughters.

This is the realest response. Everybody’s situation is different. Being a good wife really has nothing to do with housework. Guess who primarily does the cleaning in my house? Hint: It ain’t me.

Here's the Tweet that got everybody talking ...
