Don’t get me wrong – I am all for women doing all the cleaning – I just can’t defend it.

Ah, Kim and T, you tire of my satire? Well, if not the dishes, I'll see if I can at least clean up my act.

So larryco is stating that women are genetically predisposed to be better cleaners than men? I would have to disagree.

I wholeheartedly disagree with your generalization, larryco_.

All I remember is their asking us, which is what we do with our children. We ask them to do the dishes and they do them. Cleaning their rooms, well, thatâ€s another story.

I have to agree with larryco_

However, I would love to know how it was that your parents were getting you to do the dishes at 7. I can't get my kids to do them unless I stand over them and threaten them with their lives...

Sorry, Kim, but your cause is hopeless. The main problem is that most men have one more category than women have. To women, there is only 2 categories - dirty and clean. But for men there's a third - Better Than It Was, or as we would say, "beternitwas." If it wasn't for this category, men would never try cleaning at all!

Also, to men, if it doesn't "look" dirty, then it ain't dirty. No women can relate to this idea. Men are much more comfortable sharing their domain with bacteria and other less visible critters than women are.
