You might be right in many cases but not in all. Men come in all shapes and sizes. You could have a brilliant businessman who is very considerate, very baal middos who simply are clueless about a house. Just like their are women who cannot work while having small children.....



Totally true. That's why it's so important to have this conversation with your husband. If there's so much resentment it probably means someone is being mistreated or someone is being misunderstood.

And not all parenting is tangible, quantifiable work — it’s the mental labor of having kids that’s often the most taxing. It’s easy to split, for example, who packs a school lunch or dresses a child in the morning. But someone also needs to keep track of those days when lunch needs to be bagged for a field trip, or when it’s time to buy new underwear or sneakers. How many dads do you know who could tell you their child’s correct shoe size?

This kind of invisible work almost always falls on women, and we rarely talk about the impact it has on our professional lives. Imagine if instead of our mind being filled with to-do lists about grocery shopping and dentist appointments, we had available head space for creative thinking around our work and passions. For mothers, the freedom to just think is a privilege.

Studies also show that fathers continue to have significantly more leisure time than mothers and that mothers use their off time to do chores and child care while fathers use time off for hobbies and relaxing. This, too, is about careers: We know that people who have more leisure time and time for creative activities tend to perform better at work.


1. Hashem created MOTHERS to be the caretakers of children, so it is NATURAL for Mother's to remember to schedule doctor appointments and keep track that children need new shoes or underwear.

A Father can do jobs assigned by the Mother: Take child to doctor or to buy shoes. But FATHER will not realize these tasks need to done on his own because Hashem did not hard wire FATHERS to be Caretakers of Children, the way Mothers are. OP, you cannot change biology.

2. While Non-Jewish Fathers may have more leisure time, this is not true of Frum Fathers who spend considerable time davening in shul and learning Torah.

So true. Man-brains can only remember manly things, like mergers and football scores. Only women can remember things like shoes and appointments.

That's why single men have shorter life expectancies, because without wives, they have no way of scheduling doctor's appointments when sick. Plus, all those injuries caused by walking around in shoes that are falling apart.

omg is this a joke? A person will do what they do when used to it. Watch downton abbey, the women can't boil water or handle (one or two hours/day) their kids
