Doing all the wifey things made me laugh a little...will explain.
Some many yrs back my son lived in an apt with his wife and three daughters.
In the overhead apt upstairs was a couple (Gay) men and the one male was always heard complaining about doing nothing but housework all day...doing the laundry and the cooking chores...never going out to do or see anything different...just inside all day.
Why would I go to all that trouble when I could just eat it straight? There's nothing beautiful about cooking to me.
Its not the instant kind....They're the whole oats from the Organic section. I just shove them in a microwave with a little water, and if it comes out a little stiff I dont care. I'll eat it.
And Im not a combiner, I dont like things all mixed together, nor do I like alot of spices. I want to taste everything as it is without meddling if it is simply me feeding me. Someone else makes it, OK, whatever they want I'll go along with.
I dont even know what a kasha is...I was referring to Kashi cereal.
My guy knows if something is cooked he's going to have to do it. And if he doesnt feel like cooking, thats fine too. No biggie to me. I'll do other things...minus picking up his clothes (my grandma warned me about that she said do it once and they'll start expecting it...and she is right!) and getting those nasty beard shavings out of the sink.
That's alright girl, you don't have to convince me. You eat the way you like, it's not up to me to judge. After all, I have no plans on marrying you.
how do you get warm cookies? Put them in the microwave too?
I'm a bad cook, but luckily I have no taste buds.
I'll get the pre made dough and eat cookie dough instead if I feel like being a fat kid for the day. I like it better anyway.
OR
Step one: Go to local bakery up the street
Step Two: Buy cookies from baker.
Step three: Go home, stick cookies in microwave if they arent still warm from baker's oven.
Those cookies are awesome, but expensive, which prevents me from buying and eating alot of them, thereby keeping them a treat.
I do have taste buds, and do appreciate good food...but my own attempts at cooking have made myself and others sick. Perhaps 'cause there's no "love" put into that food?
Max's mama: Let me guess, you like to entertain too? Im guessing that because most people I meet that like cooking also like entertaining people at home.

You got me. I don't particulary love cooking that much, but it's the end result that I enjoy.
You know I was just thinking that maybe the differences we're seeing in responses here are a reflection on where we are in life.
For example if you have children, you're into the whole nesting and establishing a family, whereas women like myself with grown kids, value our independence and have grown past that.
I sadly heard a beautiful gal at church today say she is getting divorced.
"He expects me to cook and clean and do those wife things" I thought how sad, I just kept quiet because I really was astounded.
What do you think?

Aha!
I am the opposite. I dont enjoy other people in my house. OUTSIDE, on a patio or something, fine. But in my house? Nope.Drives me nuts. Im a private person when it comes to my home, and if I havent known you for *yeeeaarrs*, you're not coming in without me giving a little twitch on the inside.
It will be something I do out of obligation and making my husband happy...but in truth I'll always be happier when they leave.

I think everyone is different. There is nothing wrong with wanting to be alone in your house without bunch of people you don't care about roaming your home. I feel this way too sometimes.
Just wanted to say, I am a self-avowed feminist, who happens to wear aprons, bake pies and bread, cook from scratch, garden and clean the house, ....and KICK ASS on my mountain bike.
Why burn bras? I consider the sports-bra to be one of the finest inventions, ever. Right along-side washing machines, OB, and the Pill.
