In my opinion,the best scene is that the wife and her husband cook together! This will make the life in their small house more meaningfull.

I agee that it depens on the situation. If the woman is home all day ,she should help out by cleaning the house and cooking . If both people have jobs they both need to share the load at home, and work together .

burnt pot - destroyed pot
My Partner can only cook (if you call it that) sausages, eggs (til they are like rocks:( ) and beans, so I do the cooking in this house, but he does all the washing up after it....and sometimes that's a lot of washing, especially if I've been baking. I'm not messing when I say he's capably of burning water, I've lost countless pots to his help, so now he just sticks to breakfast.

I think the husband and wife should take turns cooking, it is not just the woman's responsibility. Even trying to teach kids that they can make their own PNB and jelly sandwiches to help out.

Yeah? But they are not childen,and shouldn't take turns cooking like a little girl and a little boy play games,especially before their childen.Parents ,whatever roles they play in the family,should share the responsibility actively!

I am old school i guess because i would never expect my husband to cook for me. i feel it is my job to take care of him, and the house......BUT........I do not work out side of my home. In today's world where both the husband and wife work By all means they should share in the work..My husband shared in helping with the kids, because he enjoyed them, he even got pretty good at changing a diaper. and if something was not working or needed fixed he would fix it. and he always jumped in and helped and even cooked a meal or two if i was sick, and needed the help. but as a rule i did all the cooking and cleaning.

The way I see it, things should be divided up evenly. If one partner works all day and the other doesn't - regardless of gender - generally I think it's fair for the home-partner to do the cooking while the working-partner takes it easy for a little, then the working-partner can clear off the table, do dishes, etc. In households where both partners are out in the workforce...well, whatever works for them is probably best. But there is absolutely no merit to the idea that cooking and looking after the house is 'women's work'. That's a ridiculous and outdated idea that I would really like to see put far, far behind us.

If women can find interesting new ideas during cooking,she make life!We should regard cooking in family a wonderfull art:love,emotion,care,happiness,even sorrow can be cooked with the food.If you love your family ,the meal you cooked tastes sweet ;If you care your family ,the soup your cooked makes them feel warm.

We are living in the 21st century. Even if a wife does not wok outside the home. (which most do now days) The cooking and the cleaning should be split evenly between husband and wife. Or if you have kids then they should share. Boys can do dishes just as well as girls can. I know with some men it is easier said than done. But all you can do is to try.

hi yoyo23, my dear friend, i dont think that woman has the rsponsibilty to cook for man. i think in today's world and time going on, men and women share equal responsibilities in every field. they work together, they sleep together, they eat together so why cant they cook together. my husband helps me in cooking and my breakfast is ninety percent times served by him and that too on bed. i just love him for that. in the night i have to get up many times because of my small baby and in business i am full time with him so he takes proper care of that. he understands the situation and before i say anything he helps me out in everything that i do. i think everybody's husband should be like this. life does not feel difficult in such a fashion. everything done half half, helping each other in all the daily chores, makes life easy as well as fast.

i don't see anything wrong with a man helping out and taking turns. my husband made dinner tonight- picked up the phone and called for a pizza delivery!! LOL, i love to cook and he cooks terrible. i expect him to help me by doing dishes occasionally and setting the table and stuff. he vacuums and cleans. we try to share things like that.

I don't cook. I can, but I hate it. So if he wants a home-cooked meal, guess who's getting up and cooking it? Not me!
