See the source for the whole comic, it’s brilliant.

This is why I am sometimes put off marriage because you’re also expected to go to work and bring in money (but not more than him). I don’t want to have to take care of another human being too.

THIS was my life and the moment I stopped doing everything, my whole house fell apart. ITS TOO MUCH!

It depends on your partner. My husband remembers a lot of the things, organises a lot of the things, gets the school uniforms washed and sorted, does the food shopping, cooks, plans menus. We share the load but he probably does more, and works (as in a paid job. Housework and parenting is work.)

See this was my dad all over. He and my mom both worked full time, and still my dad more or less expected my mom to cook most of the meals and do most of the cleaning. But he mowed the yard sometimes, so it worked out even to him. (Even though my mom mowed too.) And my mom did most of the work with my brother and I. Sure, my dad traveled a lot more than she did and in the grand scheme of things, my brother and I were pretty easy to deal with most of the time, but the amount of house work they did was completely uneven. And if she complained about not being able to get stuff done, he told her to “get the kids to help you.” And working with her now, I know first hand that her job is completely exhausting. 

It’s really infuriating in retrospect how little he respected what she contributed.
