I don't think anyone missed your point- they just think Tyra was wrong.

LOL, I only know about Tyra from The Soup, but from what I see, its all about Tyra!

Question for those who's work is split based on "inside work" and "outside work."

My husband does all the outside work, and I take care of 90% of the inside work.

So, what happens to the load during the winter (for us after November) when the grass doesn't start growing until March or April. My husband's load definitely lightens for 6 months out of the year. Yet the laundry, cooking, vacuuming never take a break!

If I'm standing on the ladder holding a 4x8 sheet of plywood to put on the house and see my hammer is out of reach, I ask her to grab and hand the hammer up to me. It takes her 10 minutes to get up out of the chair 10 feet away where she is watching me, mosey over, and reach down to pick up the hammer.

I don't think I am slower...

Every time I call her when I'm at work, she is sleeping.

Ok, I work daylight, she works in the evenings until 11 pm (5 hours). I know what it is like to get home at midnight after working, you can't get to sleep. She doesn't get to bed until 1 am and has to get up at 7 to get the kids ready for school. That's her argument over why she is tired. She only gets 5 hours of sleep. Hmm, I go to bed 2 hours earlier than her, but I get up 2 hours earlier as well, so same amount of sleep. What is the difference that allows her to be tired with only 5 hours of sleep, but I'm not allowed to be?

She cleans the house. I do the laundry with her doing some. She cooks with me doing some (grilling). She gets the kids ready for school, I do the evening stuff like homework and showers. She works 5 hours, I work 8-10. She does the yard mowing, I do the house maintenance. I think we are about even and she thinks she does everything.

I know for us he works on our cars and the last couple of years we have had bad ice storms where he had to cut the trees that fell. Plus he takes out the trash and a few other things.
