New research suggests that husbands do not do their fair share of work around house. study from the Ohio State University says that men who do equal share of housework are rare breed. Researchers looked at lifestyles of 182 working couples who became first-time parents. Both partners worked roughly same amount of hours in full-time jobs. research team found that men did less housework after baby was born, even though both mothers and fathers worked same number of hours outside home. During first few weeks of parenthood, fathers did average of five hours week less housework, although they spent this time helping to look after baby.

It is different story for mothers. Becoming parent added about 21 hours per week to amount of work she did, even with her full-time job. Most of their extra work was spent looking after her baby. researchers explained why new fathers did not keep up with extra work after child was born. They said that most men were simply unaware that mother was doing so much more work. Another reason is that after baby is born, fathers tend to follow what happened in their own homes when they were younger. They automatically accept and follow 'traditional' roles of mother looking after the baby and father working, even though the mother is also working same number of hours in her job.
