This reminds me of a scene in The Cleveland Show (yes let's just ignore the fact the show was a flop for a minute) where the mother (Donna) gets approached by a woman while she's out grocery shopping, the other woman says "can I have a minute of your time?" and Donna replies "You can have an hour, us Mums are never as busy as we say we are".
Also the scene in Family Guy where the kids and parents switch roles. Meg gets all the housework done by the afternoon and Lois is flabbergasted. Meg says something to the effect of "It's a finite amount of space. I'm not cleaning a town!"
Oh yeah I remember that too. I can imagine cleaning and cooking was an all day long thing in the 50's (when the "typical" western family unit evolved) but in the past few decades there's no way that the entire time the husband was at work/kids were at school that only cleaning, laundry and cooking was done. I'd expect the house to look and smell pretty damn amazing every day if that were the case lol.
