Sociology Questionnaire

[Mathew]

Hey,
I'm in Sociology and over the holidays I need to make a tally chart of what jobs people do in the home.

If you've got a spare 5 minutes, I'd appreciate it if you could tell me who does the following jobs in your home. It could be primarily your Mother / Father, or they could share the job.. or it might be a Grandparent.

I will give +rep to all serious responses. These are the jobs:


Ironing
Washing
Cooking
Dusting
Vacuuming
Shopping
Car Washing
Clearing Dishes
Collecting children from school
Bathing young children
Car maintenance
DIY
Changing the bedding
Changing light bulbs
Putting out the rubbish
Carrying shopping bags
Garden weeding
Painting fences
So who does those jobs in your home?
Thanks!
Matt

Very interesting results!

It seems that nobodys father does the washing & ironing and that the biggest job your mothers do is ironing. It seems the sterotype is indeed true?!
12 people's fathers do car maintenance as opposed to 5 mothers and clearing the dishes and carrying shopping bags seems to be the thing you do as a family.

There's not many people who bathe or collect children from school these days either, which is a flaw in my questionnaire.

Many thanks for taking part everyone, and I will dish out +rep to everyone who has replied. I don't need any more results now :)
