This is getting a bit off topic. I guess my main question still stands. Why does the girl need to cook and clean while you fix things? What kind of logic are you using to justify that? Just because it feels right, and because that's how your family currently functions? I don't see a problem with a man cooking and cleaning while the woman fixes things. I guess I honestly just don't see the point of this thread to begin with. Yes, it's an old school way of thinking, but why is this type of thinking justifiable? TLDR version: What makes a woman a better candidate for cooking and cleaning while the man is a better candidate for fixing things? Edited by Doggo Champion 2k17, May 30 2015, 06:50 PM.

I think it comes down to whether that's what your partner wants. What will you do if your wife has a job that is more demanding of her time and energy? If you get home at 5 every day and she gets home at 9, shouldn't you be the one cooking? You'll just have to see what your schedules are.

Allow me to share my perspective as I am married and my wife and I have a child. She cooks. I have Anosmia. Meaning I can't smell. Which, due to your smell being DIRECTLY linked to your taste. Means I can't taste things very well either. I don't know. I never noticed nor cared. However. This means I am a TERRIBLE cook. I don't know how much salt is enough, I like textures that most people don't. etc. My wife makes fun of me sometimes saying, "If you had a sense of smell you wouldn't like half of the things you eat." which is probably true since most people look at me funny when they discover my primary diet. She cleans the little messes. She has OCD. She can't stand a mess even for a second even if it's hers. I'm a "get to it when I'm doing something that is heading towards the trash can" kind of guy. I don't like multiple trips to a location. Even if it's just ten feet. Now. I will do a cleaning spree if something starts to bother me. Like today I just did all the laundry, vacuumed and cleaned the little one's mess. We both work. She currently waits at Waffle House which isn't amazing money, but she gets money every day which is nice. I work maintenance and servicing at a condominium which is basically an apartment that rents by the day, week or month. They're fully furnished and rent, cable, internet, electricity as well as water are all included in the price. So it's quite popular with people who travel, want a home to live in but don't want to bring any of their stuff with them. Typically it involves cleaning but I handle all of the electronic repairs as well (mostly TVs, internet issues, etc.). I'm the technoguru of our house. She is terribad with technology. Outside of cars. That's where she shines. I am just a dunce when it comes to vehicles. She once got me on a joke about needing to change my breaker fluid. I honestly believed her until she began to cackle. We both raise the child. We make sure our work shifts don't conflict and when they do we make sure we have a sitter (usually one of the grand parents or great grand parents). The biological father is still in the picture and gets her every other weekend, but he's more interested in his new child than his old one. She calls us both Dada, but she runs to me over him when he's around. I get the feeling he doesn't pay attention to her good enough on their weekends. We both fix things that we know how to fix. I'm more of a technology repairs guy and she'd more of a tools and belt repairs kind of girl. We both do trash, laundry, dishes and vacuum whenever the need arises. Usually depends on who worked that day. We've had room mates before to help with bills, but currently we do not even though we're in a three bedroom house that we're renting. So I'm in a semi-traditional non-traditional marriage. It's working just fine for us. </lifestory> Edited by Cloud, May 30 2015, 07:13 PM.

Schedule now is like that. She cooks me breakfast since we leave around the same time. And when I pick her up. I buy her dinner since I can't cook worth a damn.
Based on my current relationship and what areas I grew up in. Not really for all womentthough but women that I hang with. Kinda a mutual agreement. It's only been 1 week and 1/2. So..things are subject to change. |
