Do you think cooking at home should be shared by both husband and wife?

Generally, it is woman who cooks food at home. But in the modern days do you think cooking food is really a woman's job. In olden days women used to sit at home without any work. So it's their duty to cook at home. But now all women are working in different ways. It is time to share house responsibilities with wife. Every husband should also learn cooking and help his wife. What do you say?

My boyfriend cooks for me, and he washes dishes too. He like cooking for me and I do the laundry, clean the entire house, etc. We always make sure that the household chores will be shared between the two of us, and we're happy that way.

In my own opinion, cooking, and other household chores should be shared by both husband and wife. In olden days, wives don't work, they just stay at home. That is why they have to do all the household chores. But not anymore. We, women also work for a living. So it is only fair to share the household works to our husband. I hate it when one of my friends said she has work and her husband has work also. But she was the only one doing the household chores. It is very unfair.

I think cooking nowadays are for husbands and/or wives. me and my husband do the cooking, I mostly cook on the weekends and he cooks during the week.

I think the husbands should help their wives. If they can't cook, they should clean the dishes. In my case, I love to cook and for me is not problem to do that, actually is something that I really like to do and to see everyone eating my food, but I hate clean the dishes, so, a help on that part would be already very helpfull.

i believe that if both parties have a job then yes it should be a shared thing. even if they dont both have jobs it should still be shared. my boyfriend and i share cooking, cleaning, and every other responsibility most of todays youth doesnt think so though... before i finished school this past year every single male i went to school with was always saying that they dont cook or clean and its the womans responsibility. they would look at their girlfriends and tell them to go make them a sandwhich... like seriously tell them to... and i always sat there like really?

in now a days, cooking should be shared by both wife and husband. in olden days, it is tne duty of wife only. they have to cook. but, now it is not like that. women s are also working.they have to go their job on time, so obivously work should be shared. otherwise , she can not managa. my uncle and aunty are wotking and they will share each and everything. sometimes, he will only cook. they are woking happily. they are not get stress.

I don't believe it is a gender responsibility. My boyfriend and I live together going on almost 8 years and although he works he also cooks, cleans, does laundry and grocery shops as well. Prior to meeting me he had lived a lone for quite sometime, so he is very self sufficient and says that if he wanted a maid he would have hired one. lol It is important for both genders to be able to do run a household, one does not know if they will be alone and or with someone and mom will not be around forever so wise to be self sufficient.

The husband and wife should do cooking and they should share household chores. I see o lot of dads cooking actually. Whenever I go to my friends house, it the dads that cook and or both parents are preparing. I have a lot of friend with single dads. I think that the notion that the moms are stuck at home cooking is a little old fashion. A lot of guys cook and I think they deserve the credit also.

My dad is a good cook but he doesn't cook much. Mom says she likes doing the kitchen works on her own and doesn't like sharing the work. So yeah mom does all the cooking in our home and dad does it when mom is sick or busy.

I definately think it should be shared, this is because you both have equal responsibilities to each other. If you think you should because he works and you don't, just think...When you have children who will look after them and who will work. Both ways, its equal responsibilities, unless u both agree only one person should cook cause they're better at it.
