Re: From the NY Times ....

This is an exerpt from the link you posted:

''If a guy does housework, it looks to the woman like he really cares about her -- he's not treating her like a servant,'' said Coleman, who is affiliated with the Council on Contemporary Families. ''And if a woman feels stressed out because the house is a mess and the guy's sitting on the couch while she's vacuuming, that's not going to put her in the mood.''


Makes sense, but I don't know if DH gets more nookie because he helps me around the house... more like, he hears less nagging

less housework = more time for playing.

DH is going to find a copy of this article on his dinnerplate tonight.
I'm the stressed out housewife, vacuuming around his feet while he sits on the couch or on the computer.

i think its pretty obvious if your wife isnt falling asleep at like 9PM from exhaustion you are going to get more action

unfortunately for DH, he DOES help me and i am still falling asleep at 9pm

LOL

I also find myself doing chore after chore while DH is on the computer, watching TV, or playing video games. It's so frustrating! I try not to nag, but sometimes I have to say something because I don't feel it's fair! I don't work as much as he does because I'm a substitute teacher and sometimes only work a few days a week. So I'm not expecting him to necessarily do half the housework, but pitching in once in a while wouldn't hurt!
