   Depends on the job, depends on the marriage. My wife had a lesser paying job which demanded more time than mine, so I did the greater part of the routine kid stuff, housework, grocery shopping & cooking. When she retired (before I did) that changed around. Now we divide things fairly but not equally. Basically, a good marriage is the only workable communist society – “from each according to their ability, to each according to their need.”

   Category error. If it were true, how would full time housewives live? In point of fact, housewives live in a barter economy, not a wages economy. They barter their homekeeping services for a house, a car, food, clothes & entertainment. They are paid in kind, not in money.
