But, I also think he misses a chunk of the issue, understandable in a short clip. Men often do things differently, including cleaning, and I think it's often better to cultivate a partnership than 'I'll show you how to do things the "right" way.' I clean differently than my wife, but it gets done, and a big reason why is that she lets me do it my way, and appreciates it. As a busy two-income couple it has worked well for us.
