Is it Okay for a woman to come home from work & cook 5 days a week while her boyfriend or husband is sitting on the couch playing video games. The husband pays the bills so is it ok for him to relax 5 days a week?

hi tpisces well a pox Ppe no its not okay, she is tired and he is there why not grab him, stick an apron on him and get him to sit the table, dish up food and help in all ways. I had two children in 11 months so my husband without being asked to helped me get meals and bathe the children and even put them to bed. In fact our kids loved it when he put them to bed as He always told them the most gosh awful stories and they settled down and fell asleep to his stories. No I think couples should share everything paying bill, house work and etc.

indeed yes PurplePeople Eater My hubbie was also a much better cook than me and he loved to cook too but oh my G the mess the dishes the pots,m the pans, I got to do those but I felt it was really a fair trade off as his meals were so much better than mine.My hubby also got up in the middle of the night and honestly I did not ask him to but he liked to help with the kids too. Sadly when my son got in his teens, my hubby and him were at odds all the time and I was caught in the cross fire. I loved them both but when they fought over the least little thing I wanted to knock their stubborn heads together. lol they were too much alike both completely stubborn, only one way to do anything and that was their way.

@ PurplePeopleEater as far as you getting up in the middle of the night changing diapers etc. its ok its normal when a man & female to switch duties in the middle of the night cause I know most men roll over over & put there pillow over head when the baby starts crying.

If she is coming home from work, then why is the husband paying all the bills? Where is her money going? If she is spending her money any way that she chooses and on whatever she wants while he is stuck paying all the household bills out of his earnings, then I don't see why he should not be allowed to relax when he gets home from work. If she does not want to cook, then she could always take her earnings and buy dinner every night.

I know alot of husbands who pay the bills and the female works alot of husbands don't want there wifes or girlfriends to work because they feel as if they can hold the household down. Its up to the gf/wife if its gonna be dat. As far as her her money is going in her bank account. She chooses to work but doesn't has too sorry I didn't state it. The husband is the man of the household so of cause he wants to hold the household down by supporting the family. You have a point there there isn't nothing wrong w/ buying food out not every night but some nights alot of men like home cooked meals
