A study from an American university says that men seldom do the same share of housework. Researchers interviewed 182 working couples who became first-time parents. Both husbands and wives worked almost the same number of hours in full-time jobs. However, men did five hours a week less housework than women after their baby was born.It is a different story for mothers. Becoming a parent added 21 hours a week to a mothers work. Most of this was looking after her baby. New fathers did not do more woke because they did not realize the mother was doing so much more.
