    This is a constant source of 'discussion' between my wife and I. There are probably many reasons, but let me give you my two:
    1) Housework is boring, which I admit is lame, but nonetheless, anything boring is worth trying to weasel out of.
    2) There are different standards, and the man can't win. In a male/female household, the expectations of what constitutes a 'clean house' or 'laundry done right' or 'putting the dishes in the dishwasher before bedtime' are often widely different. My observation (admitting total subjectivity) is that women not only want men to do their share of the housework, but to do it to their standards and timing. It's not the 'please do half the housework' that bothers me, it's the 'and do it my way' that is the problem. So if faced with the demand of doing something, yet no matter how I do it, it's wrong or not on time, I would rather save the time and take my tongue-lashing once.
