    He's generally quite flexible about how I do most things - the least I can do is put some prepared food in front of him now and then.
    Thats exactly the way it is here.. But then again - Not to raise argument on this board- I was raised that the woman does the cooking and housework and the man does all the crappy other stuff..

    My mom did it all...including working over 40 hours a week. She was NOT a happy woman...and it showed.

    William may do the lion's share when it comes to cooking and cleaning, but there's absolutely no doubt in his mind that he's loved. He doesn't care much for the cleaning part, and I DO help him with that most of the time...and I cook a LITTLE bit...but he loves to cook...we both work full time...and neither of us sees any reason why the cooking and cleaning should be exclusively "pink jobs"...

    He takes good care of me...because he likes to and wants to...not because he has to.

    I think our "roles" are more flexible now - although it seemed that one was more likely to see a woman milking a cow "back then" than to see a man washing dishes.

    My hubby does all the cooking too! I am spoiled by it, I know, but he's just plain good at it.....and I'm not! I certainly don't complain! I do bake, especially at the holidays, but he's a great pie baker, too.

    Same at my house too -- today I was asked when I was going to fix lunch -- my reply: maybe tomorrow --no response but silence, but I gave in and fixed lunch
