I don't have an ax to grind, I ask because I have seen a lot of this lately and don't understand this. Trying to find out if this is the norm or if not.
iam more than willing to cook and clean as long as there is an equal amount shared I would do what it takes to make my "man" happy so long as he is doing what it takes to make me the same
I love to cook, I clean my own place and I have certain preferences regarding house cleaning so I end up doing most of that anyway. As far as catering to any man..nope ain't gonna happen. I treat a man I would date with kindness and I believe in doing the little things to let them know I care, but I would never outright cater to their every whim and wish, makes em' dependant and too spoiled!!!! (LOL, kidding) I work, go to school and take care of two kids so I am many things to many people, just depends on what day it is and which hat I happen to wear at that moment.
I don't have a boyfriend at the moment so I can't answer the questions in the second paragraph.
I believe strongly that ANY man I am with needs to view me as a partner and an equal. I will spoil them and cater to them as much as they do to me..it's reciprocal.
I agree with you on this one, as I am dammed if I do and Dammed if I don't, could say been there, done the T-shirt, done the book and the video, NO MORE
I guess my opinion would be the same for all the questions. I don't think that anything is a man or woman's job to cook, clean, or cater. I think everything should be a shared joint effort. Sometimes one may have to do a little more in one area and at other times that role can change. Hey, it is 2007!!! Happiness is Home made
I agree that responsibilities/roles should be shared, but what about those foreign men who don't think that way? How many women have dated/married foreign men and have experienced the oppression of their controlling old fashioned ways?
I was married to a man from another country. Was is the key word. Did not deserve nor choose to be treated like a less than. I can do that all by myself if I choose. Didn't need someone to help me.
Either by culture..or raised in a home where their mother did everything for them and their father with the exception of the male so called traditional roles!!!!! So when ya marry...You have to be like mom!!!!!!!!\

If so, how many of you are housewives and how many do this and work?
If so, how does your man treat you in return? What do you get out of it? What does he do for you?
How many of you think that a man and woman are equal in a relationship and responsibilities should be shared and each cater to each other?
Just curious.
