Are most cohabiting households dependent on one income in 2022?
If both people work full time, and contribute to the bills, I can see sharing the household chores.
If the man is paying all the bills, then the woman should do the majority of the housework. I can understand the man helping with kids when he gets home to give the woman a break, but washing dishes, and vacuuming shouldn’t be a man’s role if he’s paying all the bills.
This is the arrangement I currently have. She has student loans, and I’m not paying them. She is continuing to work until they are paid off. She also pays for groceries, and her own gas, car insurance, car payment, clothes, makeup, etc. I pay the rest of the bills. I don’t sit around and starve, and I’ll wash a dish here and there, but I don’t do most of the indoors household work because I pay the bills.
