Housework Gap
This refers to feelings of unfairness about the division of household chores between husbands and wives as well as their different methods and attitudes towards this. The results of a survey show that one third of wives clear the table up again after their husbands after a meal. Despite this, some wives have said that they are glad their husbands lend a hand.
