While this news isn’t surprising, it does break the narrative that primary earners, who could have more demanding jobs than their partners, take a backseat when it comes to household management.

Instead, it seems that moms do more of the work all of the time. bit.ly/3NMoBWc

Even when mothers are the breadwinners, the burden of household management still falls largely on their shoulders, going against the conventional idea that the partner who earns less carries more of the domestic load.

In another twist, Dr. Syrda found that, paradoxically, the more the mother earned, the more housework she shouldered, especially in married couples. bit.ly/3NMoBWc

"What may be happening is that, when men earn less than women, couples neutralize this by increasing traditionality through housework – in other words, wives do more and husbands do less as they try to offset this ‘abnormal’ situation." – Joanna Syrda

Syrda’s findings highlight the broad inequities women face, both in and out of the home.

Love the replies to this. Most people living in Vancouver understand living in a big city means living with other people, including children. If you want a quiet suburban home, by all means, move to the suburbs! (but beware, I've heard rumours of kids existing there too. 😱)
