And what happens if the doctor's wife is also a doctor? My wife is a lawyer. She makes more money than I do, but should I expect her to do the scrubbing instead of me? I know many, many married couple and with the exception of one or two, in all of them both the husband and the wife work. For the few who don't, it's simply because the wife's paycheck was less than the cost of daycare, so it was more financially sensible for the wife to take care of the children. I consider it extremely important that my wife and I split all chores equally. We both get up at 6:00 am for work and we get home at about 6:30 to 7:00 pm. Should I be telling my wife to plunge () right into toilet scrubbing when we get home?
