I just finished a book that has the same title as my post.  It was about being a ‘housewife’.  I picked it up thinking it would be humorous essays but found it was more research driven.   I didn’t enjoy it too much.  Some parts were interesting, but on the whole I found I was skimming through most of it.  There was one quote that stuck out to me however

“Until they program men to notice you’re out of toilet paper, a happy domestic life will always be up to women.”

I have been in denial with the whole gender difference, but have grudgingly come to accept that it is true, at least partly.  I don’t think I will ever believe that men can’t do this or that household chore, but do think they notice different things and prioritize differently than women.
