What exactly are the things you feel that a woman should be responsible for in your home and why?


Is it just the cleaning and cooking? What about things like laundry, gardening and other things regarding the general upkeep of your home?

Do you feel that it is realistic for a woman in this day and age to be expected to do those things? What if the woman works as well? Does that have any bearing on your views?

Would you rather have your woman quit her job and stay at home to take care of the house if you had the choice and she had no say in the matter?

It seems that in quite a few threads that if a man suggests that a woman should keep a clean house and do the cooking that they are labelled as sexist, unrealistic pigs.

I for one ENJOY cooking and keeping my home clean.

Just interested in the guys opinions only please so ladies feel free to chime in but don't bash the men for their honest opinions please or this thread will go downhill faster than Jack and Jill!

Woman's opinion here.

I could care less what any one couple decides is right. It's only important that they agree.

If a guy wants the 1950's view of a marriage, that is certainly his right. I'm sure there are women out there that want that too.

I do all of that since I live alone. It helps that I clean up as I go along. And that I am a clean freak of sorts. And don't wear shoes in the house. Regarding cooking, I cook well enough so I don't care about her cooking skills (or lack of) either but she better like what I am making!

[so I have no expectations or requirements for what she should be doing or willing to do]

Personally I believe the responsibility lies with both people.

No. My bed is very utilitarian. Just a pillow and a blanket and I almost don't need a blanket because I run the heater to 80*.

[hate the cold]

My wife has had the luxury of not having to work. She does the bulk of the housework and is free to go shop, hang out with friends, etc. while I work.

She likes it this way and I think it's awesome. It works for us.
