<p>There are some husbands that really do a fair amount of stuff around the house. However, they seem (to me) to be the exception and not the rule. </p>
<p>Three of my brothers are very helpful around the house (occasionally cook, clean, laundry), but even they admit that they aren’t doing half of the household duties which include various childcare duties. And, it’s not just the routine household/child duties, it’s also the various social obligations - ranging from doing the family and relatives gift shopping, holiday cards, party-planning/prep, etc.</p>
