Well, my hubby was raised in a blue-collar Catholic family, but he does most of our housework. Namely, he does the really crappy bits, like litterboxes.
He writes full-time and has a part-time outside job; I have a full-time outside job and write part-time. The housework largely gets delegated to him because he's home far more than I am.
When I do housework, it's usually to reorganize things, or when he's sick etc.
If we ever have a kid, he's likely to end up doing quite a lot there, too, because he has significant experience with infant care and babysitting (courtesy of his younger relatives) and my only knowledge of babies comes from books.
