Hello guys, a primary role of a husband is must be a good provider to his family. He must have to work, earn a living for his family. But, aside from that, is it still the part of the husband to go to the market for their food consumptions? It is funny but it is true because that's my role even doing the laundry... Am not lifting my own chair but I just want peaceful harmony in my family.. What's your role my friend ? Mobhomeir here 050212 0554

There is nothing wrong for men, especially husbands, to go to market and shop for their consumptions. Some says that men's ego was lessen when they do chores that usually do by women. I think it is not true. I, honestly go to market weekly to buy stuffs that will be needed in a week's menu. I went there with my wife or even alone. In our house, I do most of the cooking and there is nothing wrong with it. I do understand if my wife cannot help me in the kitchen because our son used to cling on her whenever we are home from the office. They just keep on playing and cuddling. I am happy looking my family happy eating what I prepared for them.

My husband and I will both go to the supermarket to do the groceries. A lot of the times, we;ll both go together, but sometimes, it'll be either my husband or I, who will go. Sometimes, we'll take turns.

That's an ideal couple my friend, I envy. No matter how big is the problem, how heavy the work load for as long as helping hands are always there in the family of of those would be lightly done...happy weekend my friend...and thanks for responding my discussion. Mobhomeir here 050512 1256hrs

Personally I have always felt that a husband should be a Good provider and a help mate. This means helping with the purchasing of the groceries, helping do the laundry, cook food and other chores around the house. The wife as well if she can should be helping with things around the house and buying groceries, etc. but when it is only a one way street usually everyone is not always Happy for sure.

Yes indeed my dear friend, it must be give and take. One must not just sit around looking the one who are busy on something..no matter how big, how heavy are the things to be done for as long as helping each other are still there, that would be lightly done...happy weekend my dear friend..

I don't think you will find many husbands who's primary role is to provide the family. Also at the time it still was (mostly) that way in the country where I live, it is (was) normal women do the shopping etc. I don't think you will find much men over here able to do the shopping for one week. Mostly they spend it on stuff you can't cook one single meal from.

Oh I see my friend. I guess we have different customs and traditions though not all husband here are doing like that. But there were husbands that really care for his wife. He can't afford to see his wife burdened from all the house chores while he is free. Thanks anyway for responding my dear friend.. Mobhomeir here 050412 0702hrs

hello Will it is impressive for you to do that but anyway definition of husband roles neither the wife should be flexible depending on situation.If your wife is busy lets say because of taking care with kids then its ok for you to do the market, it is now about the family..give, take and understand will work.

dear Martin, I can say that my ex is almost a perfect husband. He do the laundry, he cook, went to market, pick the groceries. Take care of his kids, iron clothes and one more- he is more organize than me when it comes to things. But...okay- he's a womanizer- that's it. Sometimes I am thinking, hmnnn...he is doing all those things to compensate with his cheating huh!! I am not saying anything okay ....

I believe a phrase that commonly said "in every action there's an opposite reaction", and you're right, maybe he did it to cover up the wrong doing he was hiding...well, past is past and we learned a lot from our past..right bonita? Thanks again..and don't stop on searching..you surely find the best one in the world... Nice day bonita.. Mobhomeir here 050412 0653hrs

Hello friend,You are a very considerate husband.In my observation its the wife who always do this chores in the family.The laundry either,you are one of a kind.very rare man would do things like you.Your family must be very proud and happy about you. As for me,very seldom unless I have something in mind what I wanted to eat during my day off then I would rush to the supermarket. I hope my future husband will do the laundry someday and iron the clothes as well.just kidding friend. But I'm really very impressed!

Thanks my friend. I understand what you mean. I guess no housewife-t0-be would no be wishing on that kind of husband. And for me it is so funny, I never wished to be like this, though it is not the prime role of the husband to his family - I just can't afford to see my wife doing all the house chores while I would just be sitting free. Since you're a very kind and ideal wife to be, I think you can find one which you really love him.. Thanks for responding my dear.. Mobhomeir here 050312 2303hrs

Hey mobhomeir , I am glad to know that you do a lot for your family. I think it is the duty of an husband to get all the necessary commodity needed for the the kids and his family. The price of each of the material is increasing day by day and we are not able to give the money which they bill to us becuase in most of the families people suffer a tight for the money to meet their expenses. To save little money from shopping we need to ask a little discount for the things we buy and I think it is better to deal such things with a men. Now the world has turned a lot. There is a chance for women to face some bad situations or face of men. Some people used to comment and do malpractices at them and it is not secure to send a girl or wife out for shopping alone.

i can see complain in your writeup, if you feel you are not happy about the situation talk to your wife ,i mean buying food and doing laundry as your permanent chores doesnt sound manly to me

I understand my friend because maybe we have different cultures and values in our countries, I mean not all of husbands in my place are same as me. There are some husbands that never care their wives in terms of house chores. Well, perhaps doing this kind of an extended in country would lessen the manly hood of a husband in your country. Thanks for responding my friend. Nice day ahead.. Mobhomeir here 050312 2311hrs.

I guess it all depends on your arrangement with the wife. Although, its mostly a woman's role to do household chores, but if your situation demands for the husband to also share the tasks at home, then as partners, both of you must lend a hand. There's totally nothing wrong with the man of the house, doing the groceries. My husband did it a few times for us, before. Simply because I'm not familiar with the place, and that market could get a little rowdy. But, since I stopped working, both of us go to the supermarket to buy our groceries and I do the cooking.
