[A new survey has suggested that a man's work is never done, with men spending an average of two hours a day on household chores. According to research by academics at Essex University men spend some 146 minutes each day on housework. The research shows that modern men are much more likely to role their sleeves up than men in the 1960s, who spent just 83 minutes each day on household tasks. The average man spends around half an hour a day cooking and washing up and almost 40 minutes buying groceries, the study suggests. Other tasks completed by men about the house include taking children to school and doing DIY jobs. Employing someone to perform chores increasingly carried out by men wouldn't come cheap according to Sainsbury's Bank, which estimates that the market value of the average man's household labour is worth almost £12,000 a year.] Much has been written about the rise of supermums and how they juggle careers with raising a family, ... However, there are also many superdads who as well as holding down jobs, also do a lot of work around the home - from DIY to cooking.
