whistle while you work

My background and life style has always had a pretty fair approach to housework. Since both of my parents worked neither one was at home all day with time to take care of the house. In fact, we all had different chores and responsibilities to take care. Both parents were always willing to use Saturday as time to set aside and get the house together and the children were expected to help out. Now days, since I am married I actually prefer to do most of the house work because he never seems get everything just how I want it, ha, but he is the cook of the house hold so it pretty much evens out. I can't see how house work should be considered paid labor. If you decided to get married and have a house hold it should simply be the responsibility of everyone living in that home to give their best efforts to keep it together. I can see how it must be frustrating for some women to be in a situation where they feel like the work they do is unappreciated and redundant, but that is more of a problem of the marriage relationship because the husband is not being supportive and thankful. It tends to happen in a lot of marriages, and that is why it is being categorized into an issue of unpaid
labor, where it doesn't necessarily belong, because the payment shouldn't be money, but love, respect, and gratitude from from the husband and children. I feel that some issues that are genderized are formed from a deeper level than gender alone, more so different life philosophies that haven't been discussed before marriage and the human nature of selfishness that tend to clash.
