Why do Mexicans have so much housework. And how are the Chinese getting so much work done yet sleeping very well still?

My ex was from Central America. The women in his family (and his friend’s families) scurried around doing housework, childcare, and cooking ALL DAY LONG. Yet their houses always looked messy. I never understood it.
