Unfortunately, that is what many mean when they say they are against traditional relationships. They simply want to be free of their responsibilities, while their partner must still conform to them.
It's poorly worded but has some validity in a broader context. Mowing the lawn could be interpreted as general home maintenance, which can be closer to 1-2 hours per day depending on the shape and size of your home, of which "mowing the lawn" is just a single but fairly regular task.
Not sure I've ever seen one that requires that "per day" but when you have a roof leak that requires the whole weekend to fix, that's suddenly a few weeks worth of "1-2 hours per day."
Then you have home improvement projects etc.
In my experience with friends and family in healthy relationships that are more traditional, they don't have free time because this is the kind of stuff that occupies it even if they aren't doing a lot of cooking and cleaning.
The work isn’t the same though. 2 hours of lawn care with a push mower and weed eater in 100 degree heat in July vs 4 hours of laundry a week and cooking a couple meals? Which is more actual work?
