us american men let a lot of things slide and have no problem being on equal ground with the wife and sharing things 50/50, its when expectation are lopsided that we get pissed off. you think you can go to africa or italy or asia and expect the man to do 50% of the chores like we do? fukk outta here.
How are expectations lopsided here?
I can cook, clean, take care of myself but having a partner who WANTS to and ENJOYS doing that is the best feeling. Growing up their never was a dirty home and dinner was always hot. We weren't allowed to eat until pops showed up out of respect to him, and he got the big piece of chicken. Coming home to your drink poured, your meal prepared, your clothes washed and ironed, and a smile on the face of your chick is damn near the greatest feeling on the planet IMO. The main thing I want is a calm and peaceful home, and my chicks gives me that.
My moms taught me how to take care of myself because she said she didn't trust American women (I'm Jamaican). So just in case I don't find a Jamaican wife, I'll be able to survive. The rest of the world operates that way. Women hold down the crib, men provide and protect.
Do your chicks not work? Like, I guess I understand traditional roles if the woman doesn't have a job but if she's working, then how is she supposed to do all this?
