Research says that husbands do not do their fair share of work around the house. A study from an American university says that men seldom(很少)do the same share of housework. Researchers interviewed 182 working couples who became first-time parents.
Both husbands and wives worked almost the same number of hours in full-time jobs. However, men did five hours a week less housework than women after their baby was born. It is a different story for mothers. Becoming a parent added 21 hours a week to a mothers' work. Most of this was looking after her baby. New fathers did not do more work because they did not realize the mother was doing so much more. Another reason is that after baby is born, fathers follow the “traditional roles". That is, mother looks after the baby and the father works outside. This happens even when the mother is working the same number of hours in her job.

I think that teenagers like me should help our parents with housework.
First, doing housework makes us independent. We can't depend on our parents all the time. So we should learn how to take care of ourselves now.
Second, doing housework is a kind of physical exercise. It helps us stay healthy and strong. Third, since we live in a house with our parents. It's fair for us to work together and make the house clean and comfortable.
All in all, doing housework helps us to learn life skills and understand the idea of fairness. So I think teenagers should learn to enjoy doing it with our parents.
Yours truly,
Lisa
