Why is it that after a large family gathering the men go and sit down and watch tv and the women clear the table and wash the dishes.....infuriates me to no end but i digress I'm getting off topic here.
My guy's family does that. I try to help clean up wherever I'm a guest, even if it's my own sister's place or something, so I'll pitch in. However, I've limited myself to one holiday with them a year at present because I find it patently irritating to say, "Hey, babe, can you dry these?" only to hear his mother say, "He doesn't have to help."
Whatever. If that's how they are, that's how they are. He knows how I feel about such things, and, as I said before, he knows that if that's the kind of life he wants, he's free to pursue it elsewhere with someone else.
What's interesting is that some of the younger male cousins bring desserts that they've baked themselves. There's hope!
Yes I had a mother who never worked out of the home.
I have never been able not to work, but I always wanted the full enjoyment of doing for my family. Do we not want that for our daughters?
Gag me with a shovel. He has legs, he can help...if the kid can walk they can help too. Put them both to work. Love taking care of them my butt...
THIS Avienne, is why you're among my favorites! ^,^
If he has that attitude, the woman can have him. He's worthless anyway.
anyway myhusband does these same things....i just love doing these things too so im not saying that my husband is lazy and i do all the housework.
My husband works, cooks, cleans, keep our yard spectacular, take care of my son, keeps both our cars clean and running, runs errands, pays bills, grocery shop and still makes time to make love to me. I have a great husband and I will cook, clean, work and do whatever to keep our home happy.
I think most people are just selfish and stuck in there own ways.
There isn't anything I expect my husband to do for me. There are things he does that I can't because he is stonger, mechanically inclined, etc. As a general rule, I don't ask him to do anything I'm not willing to do myself (within my capabilities).
I think there are some things men should do....like changing a tire....I cannot and will not do it.

What will you do when you have a flat and a man is not there to do it for you. Women "our daughters" should be taught to check oil, jump start a car and change a tire as much as to cook and do basic domestic chores.

Call AAA.
I'm kidding ... kind of. I know how to change a flat, and I have (several times), and my dad made my take auto shop in school and work on his car before I could get my license, but AAA is $80 a year and they'll come unlock your car in the snow when you locked it with the engine running. My husband did that.
