I intend for my husband to be the provider. I will be responsible for cooking cleaning and other household duties. My husband can come home to a clean house, a home cooked meal. He can relax, watch TV or play with me.
I don't know where they are hiding women like you and @kelleynice, but I have a feeling you two won't be on the marriage market for long. Most men I know would eagerly wife up a woman who actually wants to be a housewife and is fit and attractive and wants to have his babies and stick around to raise them. Keep going girls, modern feminists will hate you and your future happy life!
@SixFootSexy Thank you for the compliment. I clicked on Kelleynice. She is very pretty. My parents and grandparents are my guide on what a wife should be like. I just completed my freshman year in college where I met a lot of girls my age. I can see how guys can think that some girls are, for better words, "to full of themselves" but more than a few of the girls have beliefs similar to mine.
It's certainly important to have good, healthy, relationship role models. One thing nice about the Roe vs Wade argument brought up recently, is a man can more easily filter who *isn't* wife material.
I handle most traditional guy stuff, plumbing, electrical, car repairs, etc. I also cook a few meals a week or so, take out the garbage occasionally clean a bathroom or some such. Im also sole breadwinner.
Exactly you take your time and enjoy life as it is , dishes need to be stacked, clothes need to be cleaned , cooking daily chores are just a natural part of life , the point of a realation is that you share it with someone !
I do most of the inside chores as I like my house cleaned a certain way and my boyfriend just rushes to get things done example washing light clothes with darks just to save time lol.
This reminds me that I had a step-daughter (now an ex-step-daughter) who frequently said to her twin sister, "Amber, will you make me a sandwich? I don't know how to!"
@olderandwiser lol 😂
I'll give an example. I cook , I clean.
The shower and sink are full of her stuff that's hers to clean.
The dishes are individually used. That individual washes it.
Last one in bed , cleans and make it. U get the point.
She does all the girl stuff cooks cleans etc. I do men stuff like cars house maintenance etc.
Nor surprised that you follow traditional gender roles!
I was quite surprised myself. 😂
I know its shocking. Who could have guessed?
Exactly and precisely how @Jessica405 has worded it. Simples!
My SO determines what chores she wants to do, which is partly determined by what she doesn't find acceptable if I do it. Then, I do the other chores, plus help out when she asks for help.
I have been unemployed so I have been doing most of the stuff. I might be going back to work soon and this will have to change.
When I get married, I will do all the cooking, cleaning, and other household chores.
Its not hard.
Pick up after yourself
You cook, I clean or vice versa
She does most everythng. It's a two bedroom apartment, so there's not all that much to do. I work, she doesn't.
We generally share but it works out maybe 70/30 because he earns more, works longer and does all the household maintenance
we divide up the chores by who likes to do what. If we both dislike or like something, we can do it together or alternate turns doing that thing.
She does all of the cleaning, laundry and most of the shopping. I do most of the cooking, take care of the maintenance, upkeep and improvements with the house and the yards.
We mostly divide them up. For example she rinses the dishes and I load and empty the dishwasher. I mop the floors and she cleans the sideboards and vacuums. So stuff like that.
we each do whatever they see that needs doing... in the kitchen, she is a better cook, I clean up Everything after... I do my own laundry, I enjoy dust mopping...
She does all the inside work and I do all the outside work. Unless we need to team up on a big chore
I was in a live-in relationship with my ex and we would divide the work among ourselves based on what we felt like doing that day. If he cooked, I'd clean dishes. Something like that.
I have much more free time and with exception of laundry I make most house shores
