Whose role is doing housework? I'd like to say that it's robot's one but Japanese technology hasn't been advanced enough yet haha This is the topic that my parents have argued about since they got married. "A husband works hard to earn money to support all his family and a wife does all housework at home." The idea was common sense in my grandparents' generation in Japan. That's why middle-aged people still have such a stereotype because of their parents. Even young people tend to expect girls to have good skills of cooking and cleaning. Lately, the number of double-income households has been increasing. So, I guess that's the situation which they have to share housework. According to my Asian female friends, it's maid's role to do household chores because they think that a wife should focus on working or taking care of her children. As it costs a lot to hire a maid in Japan, I never come up with the idea and I was really surprised at the culture gap. But it's not a bad option if only people can afford it because everybody in the family will be able to concentrate on what they want to do and nobody won't feel stress about housework anymore. I'm curious how foreign marriage couples divide the chores. I've stayed with Canadian and Australian families before. The Dads seem in charge of lawn mowing and BBQ at the weekend at least.

This is incredible, only a few mistakes, and small ones at that. I had to really search for a few of them!

@ceokophael - That's okay if you don't feel stressed about that you have to do most of the chores :)

@Kayla - I see. Then, the best way to divide the choes might be to have many good children to help family :)

In France, it really depends on families. When I was living at my parents, my father would do the fridge and sometimes wash the dishes. My mom did everything. As we grew up, my sister and I did a lot in the house . I was sometimes getting mad at my father for not helping out with the chores . I've seen families where the man really does a lot. In my own household, I have to say that I have in charge most of the housework .
