Thread Name: BS: Should women be chained to the stove?
Subject: RE: BS: Should women be chained to the stove?
Herself allows me to cook the breakfast and sometimes to put things in the oven or prep the veg but otherwise she only lets me wash up, lay the table, vacuum, clean the kitchen and bathrooms,load and unload the washer and drier (though she doesn't always trust me to sort the laundry), do all the heavy or unskilled gardening, pick the veg...but she enjoys cooking.
When she has to go away I revert to my bachelor days and fend for myself (without take-aways) but I don't enjoy cooking to the extent that I'd want to deprive her of her culinary joys.
We both work full time and have busy lives so the "housewife/househusband" role doesn't apply, we've always shared the chores. She will insist on ironing, however, though she hates it. My philosophy is, nothing needs ironing.
