I do all that, plus work a 40 hour week away from the home! Ok, well, I rarely iron. The dryer takes care of that! I am a hyper kind of person, though. I am up at 4:30am, get the kids off to school, go to work, get my dd to gymnastics 12 hours a week, and son to guitar, cook meals, do laundry, whatever! My FIL would come stay with us and say "Does she ever stop?" Maybe I am afraid that if I stop, I may not get back up!?!
I probably do more than I should, but I know my husband doesn't do well if he feels like his plate is too full, and I have no problem with that, so I just do it! He doesn't just sit on his butt, either though, and he gets the idea when I am overworked (which is good, because I usually don't!) and will suggest we go out to eat, or whatever - which is great!
So, I don't know exactly how far you are going by saying "domesticated", but I think there are alot of them out there, because it takes a certain amount of that to keep it together and keep your family happy and healthy! I guess they are already married!
Times have changed from "the old days", though, so don't expect too much!
Domesticated ladies???? Is that like a domesticated animal?
I guess it is...
If you're of the mindset of calling women who enjoy being stay-at-home wife/mother are animals.
Not the first defintion I'd choose, but to each their own.
I prefer to think of them as women who decided not to work outside the home and are happy with that decision... even though others try and make them feel less significant.
what's ironic is that prior to living with a man, most women did their dishes, did their laundry, etc.
but once she moves in with a man, now all that has to be shared (at best) or done wholly by the man (at worst), or by a maid...?
Well, now hold on... prior to living with a man she lived single, meaning, more than likely she was alone. Cooking and cleaning for 1 is different than doing it for 2, especially when the other person has a different perspective of what cleanliness is... and then when the kids start coming...
On the other hand, who did the man's laundry prior to her arrival? Who cleaned up his dishes? Did he clean up after himself, or was that Mom's job?
LOL... know what I love... I love hearing women who, when dating a man, go to his place and find out he's a slob.. then they get married and she complains about his sloppiness. Really? What did you expect? LOL
Gawd... I'm SO glad I'm married to a fanatically clean person like myself! Seriously!

I trained mine. It can be done. It works best if you're a good cook, and threaten him with frozen dinners and drive thru take out. Never saw a house get so clean, so fast.

I sure wouldn't expect him to expect me to clean up after him. I don't mind doing things for someone as long as they don't think it's my duty. Once that mindset takes over, they're on their own. Do it yourself.
