Men do typically work around the house. Mostly, this is repair and maintenance, andContinue reading “My Husband Doesn’t Help Around the House”

Japanese women still have the healthy idea that having two working parents is strictly for poor people. Here is Moe, the “Kimono Mom,” taking it easy in Tokyo.
