Im Not American
Me: Cook (I like to cook), clean (takes a woman to do it right)
Him: Pay for everything
Him: Pay for everything
Their only duties are to offer each other sex a few times a week.
Repairs are to be done by licensed contractors only.
All the cooking and cleaning is to be done by hiring a maid or making one of your mothers live with you.

My mother is an old school southern woman. And my father is African.
I was raised to work and still be a ""housewife". Woman should cook, clean, laundry, ironing, grocery shopping, etc. Make sure everything is in order and the the hubby is happy. And in return the man takes care of all rent/mortgage, bills, handiwork, purchases, taking everyone where they need to go, and making sure the wife is happy.
My is about to retire from a GREAT job with the federal government. She makes great pay. Yet, she's never spent her money on anything other than me and my brother
. And of course lil gifts and things for my Dad. My Dad always took care of everything.
I guess that's a pretty good arrangement, because they just celebrated 28 years of marriage
I've always felt like the woman is supposed to be your backbonbe. Your fall back plan. My father fell ill a few years ago, and was off his feet for a long time. That's when my mom stepped in and handled all finances, bills, making sure he had everything he needed. Once he got better, it went back to the old arrangements.

Since I work at home, I cook mostly cuz I have the extra time to do so. I also pay pretty much all the bills. I'd say at least 75%. Since I make significantly more money.
She is in charge of laundry and cleaning and dressing/transporting the children.

Not mine. Neither of my grannies ever worked. But they were born in the 20s and shyt.
The point is old school women worked and still came home and cooked and cleaned. Women now do half the stuff they did want to cry about cooking a dinner that takes 10 min top to make in the era if everything cooked fast.
Cooking dinner takes 10 minutes tops?
This is a new level of stupid I didn't think you had in you.

No doubt but in my case my wife works full time, transports the kids to and from school and gets them ready for school cuz I don't have to leave home for work. Also she is busy working on her PHD as well. That's why I cook and grocery shop. It's cuz I have the time and work flexibility where I can do those things.
Did you not see what @Kind Gentleman put 2 posts before yours? This is the kind of nonsense ladies like you do that put a thorn in our side....
If I am not mistaken the man just listed MORE things in the post before yours. Yet you disregarded that post and if you were to respond to it i would guarantee any amount of money that you would make a flip flop and claim now he is doing TOO MUCH and not giving enough tasks for you and acting like they are better. Thats the irony. Enough really is enough.
Most of the people in here besides those who are joking around are being EXTREMELY reasonable and no surprise you somehow find some kind of fault with it.
Its funny, you love to brag about this "multi tasking" thing but like @Kind Gentleman said we are the more logical sex for a reason
The short time I have been working as a cashier(not to get this thread moving in another direction) i have witnessed antics by women that border on sheer stupidity and the incapability to pay attention to what is going on when you are bagging and cashing them out. But what happened to all that "women are great at multi tasking" you guys love to point out?
Let me guess now your gonna say it depends and say something like "its stress...." "having kids is stressful"....?
Am I right?
