Should Boys Be Taught "Woman's Work"

I just feel that women are still getting the short end of the stick. While they go out and work an eight hour shift, they still come home and work another 8 hours. I really want to get a males prospective on this. I mean are they willingly taking up this role or are they doing it because they have to. How many men would refuse to marry a woman, if he knew going in that he would be responsible for the housework and such.

I'm not really sure if men would not Marry if they knew it meant helping around the house with the normal upkeep, I can only answer for myself and this is what I have to add... when I was growing up, my Mom took care of the house, my dad worked and we hardly saw him except the weekends... that was the times, but as all things do.. the times changed, one day my Mom got a part time job because we needed the extra money, with pride I watched my father.. a man who lived the 50's lifestyle.. step right up and help at the house cooking, cleaning, amd even patching our scraped knees... when I met the woman of my dreams and decided I wanted to marry her, I knew well what was in store for me, and what she, and I expected from me.. and we love to help each other doing all the samll, dull, boring things together... they get done faster, it's funner that way, and we get to spend the time together. As for some men, I feel they only do what is forced upon them .. because they are a bit lazy, or just think it's beneth them, but when forced they do it because they still want a love life with their wife...lol... sad, but probably true, and some men still try to live like it's the 1950's when the wedding vows asked the woman to love , honor, and OBEY her husband... made the wife sound more like a slave if you ask me.... love , honor, and cherrish is much better, and it promotes respect between both.

I don't know about that last part, but I would sure like to experience it, sounds pretty nice.

This is very good indeed. I have known men from other cultures that wont even attempt to make a sandwich. To me, this is not only sad, but annoying. How much skill does it take to make a sandwich?

Not in every situation. There are plenty of women whose husband makes enough to comfortably support three or four families and the wife still insist on working, while the children are left to their own devices. The problem is that these women do not feel secure in their marriages and they feel if they completely depend on their husbands, he will somehow betray them. With this attitude, the woman have the one foot out the door perspective all the time. Back in the old days, when women were more dependent on their husbands they were more likely to stay and try to work things out, than to run away and yell foul over every little thing that she did not agree with. I am in no way suggesting that a woman stay in an abusing relationship, I am simply saying that, when a woman had less options marriages lasted longer, because she was more willing to do what it took to work things out.

I totally agree that a woman's primary role should be in the household. There are a lot of jobs that women can do in their spare time to earn extra cash, like posting on Mylot. But, her family should always come first. A woman who is creative can make a lot of money with the little things around the house. She can also save more money. Men do not pay as close attention to details as women do. Men should make the money and women should budget and spend it. Each partner has a well defined role in the relationship. The fact that things are changing with women's lib and all that other crap, there is now a lot of confusing in the home. The roles have merged or reversed and the children don't know if they are coming or going any more.

Yeah, right! Women who are creative can earn a lot of money around the house, doing stuffs on the computer usually. In our place, there are few people have computer at home... if they are going to type something, documents perhaps, they let other people do the job for them, and they pay. Doing typing jobs at home is good for moms or you can participate on online surveys (I'm not in it but I heard a lot about that) or being here... like what you've said... posting here in myLot. You can't make enough money here immediately but at least they are making 5 cents per day. Thanks!

It is very good that your mother taught you these things at a young age. That way, you do not have to be dependent on anyone else to do these things for you when you are on your own
