Husbands Add Seven Hours to Women's Housework Load Each Week, University of Michigan Study Says

I saw this headline a little while ago, and it really stood out to me. That's an hour extra housework per day, just for the sole fact of having a husband.

I don't believe it. Sure, there's extra laundry, more frequent cleaning of the bathroom, and things like that--but overall, my husband helps out a lot with the housework and kids. He does the grocery shopping (ever since we had a second child) and all the yard work and cooks dinner a few nights a week, just to name a few. I know a lot of your husbands help out just as much, too--doing laundry, dishes, etc.

So, this post is in honor of Father's Day, and great big thank you to my husband and yours, for all the support they give us! And here are some recent favorite pictures of my cute husband with our kiddos.

Here's a link to where the headline came from, in case you're interested.

Haha, you're so sweet to your hubby. I always tell TC that when he's out of town the house stays so much more clean. :)

I do get what you are saying, but I can also see how that study came to that conclusion and I would have to say I agree...even though husbands help out in many ways and we wouldn't trade them for anything, I am positive that mine increases my housework load. Not just because of his stuff, but because of how much "fun" he lets the kids have with him - leaving a trail of toys, books and crumbs in the wake! That's what makes him a super dad though!
