When Women Do Housework, Should Men Work Too?

It is a sad fact of life for almost all men that when women are doing work around the home, then there is an expectation that the man should be working too.
As far as I personally go, if I am doing a job around the house, the last thing I want anywhere near me, or the house, is my Missus. In fact, I want to be strictly alone, concentrating on the job in hand, not distracted by the excessive noise that appears to be being deliberately created for some kind of proof that there is a woman working.
But, it is one of the differences between men and women. I can spend a full Saturday, say, replacing a car engine while she is visiting other gals, and then on the Sunday, the day I have planned to be my day of rest which is why I worked so hard on the Saturday, because she is then behind with her housework, she will be implying by body language and actions, as well as maybe after a while actually telling me, that I should be getting something done.
This is not a condemnation of my missus, because I believe it is a requirement of being a woman, or something, in short, 'they' all do it. Like PMS. A scourge, unfair, but unavoidable.
Ladies, Ladies, Ladies, you have to calm down here, and try and understand what guys are all about. We go to work, and that is the work. Home is for relaxing, maybe grab a beer if we are into it, and check out the sports or a movie on TV. We are not even aware of any household mess, and if one is pointed out to us, well, it can wait. If, as women you choose to work at home, that is your choice, feel free to scrub and polish as much as you like, I enjoy a clean house as much as anyone, but don't expect me to want to do the cleaning at the same time as you are doing it. You have your methods, guys have theirs. And my method is to never race to do what can be left.
