That a man is the king of his castle, if he comes home from work he expect his meals hot,kids taken care of,house clean,and her not to complain when he goes out to unwind everynight. WDYT? My sister is extremely liberal BTW, so you can guess how well this went over.

They aren't dating . It's more about his comments on the workload of parents if one works and one stays home.

I think that she should not go out with him again.

Sounds like he was messing with her to get a reaction.

WDIT???

Well, I feel that it takes two people who work together to make a relationship work (parental/marriage/heck even co-worker relationships)

WWID?

If it was said to me by someone who I don't have kids/family with... I would literally laugh in their face and as I walked away... my laughter echoing off the walls.

If it were said to me by my DH or either of my sons.... once they got up off the floor, they'd be fixing me dinner and folding laundry.

Judging primarily by the way he said it (if that is the way he said it), I'd tell her to move on to a real man who lives in the 21st century. I do believe that whoever (male or female) isn't working for income should volunteer to take care of most of the cooking, cleaning, and caretaking, especially if the other person is working full-time. But it should by no means be "expected". But guess what? Just because someone's working a full-time job doesn't mean they can't cook a little (if only throwing some burgers on a skillet every now and then) and help out once in a while. On my days off, I take care of my son most of the time so my girlfriend can relax a little. And even then, she winds up cleaning half the time! If he's going to be underestimating what she does, she can without a doubt do much better.

And a man shouldn't have to go out to unwind hardly ever, certainly not every night. I'm thinking maybe twice a week is fair, but that depends on both people.
