Do other husbands cook?

[Anonymous]

My dh and I both work. Yet after we get home he always whips something up for the both of us. I'm so thankful at how sweet and thoughtful he is!i actually want to treat him to a nice meal now because he always cooks.

mine cooks about once/week (we both work but his is much more demanding). It's good about 1/2 the time. But it's helpful 100% of the time!

[Anonymous]

Yep. He probably cooks 70% of the time. He's just more creative and craves different dishes, so he takes the lead and buys the groceries and cooks it. Most younger men know their way around the kitchen.

Mine does.

I'm not saying he's Emeril or anything, but he definitely cooks.

He also makes far better scrambled eggs than I do.

Yes. Mine does an excellent breakfast (French toast, pancakes). He is also a good grill master and makes an excellent quesadilla. So when we plan weekly meals we include nights when he is in charge of dinner and makes the things he is good at. Everyone pulls threat weight around the house and it makes him feel good that he put something delicious on the table.
I never make breakfast on weekends beyond getting a yogurt out of the fridge. Love him.

Mine does all the cooking. He doesn't like my cooking and I am quite happy to clean up the kitchen afterwards.

Rarely, upon request. But I'm a SAHM.

Mine does sometimes. I enjoy cooking and take pride in my abilities, so I cook much more often. But sometimes I just don't feel like it, and when I express as much he'll usually whip up something edible. I lie and tell him it's amazing

Mine never does. We both work. He helps out in other ways, though. (dishes, laundry)

[Anonymous]

Yes, mine is a MUCH better cook than me. I can do the weekly staples, but he makes the really delicious meals and cooks on special occasions/holidays

[Anonymous]

Mine does. In fact, he does almost all the cooking. It is the only way he contributes to our household so I let him.

Mine was a much better cook than I was for the whole time we were dating and the first 7 years of our marriage. We both worked full time, and he cooked 5-6 days a week.

I've been a SAHM for the last year and a half, and I've learned to love cooking too. I cook every weekday now, and he cooks on the weekends. I've gotten much better, but he's still a bit better than I am.

When I go back to work, we'll work out a cooking schedule, since I actually like it now.

My husband cooks about once a week but he's very unsure about cooking and feels embarrassed when it turns out poorly. He does a million other things around the house and he's working hard to learn how to cook better.

I enjoy cooking so I'm perfectly happy to do the lion's share of the cooking.

He did all the cooking until a few years ago (about 10 yrs) when I became a SAHM, including pureeing all of our babies' food. I tried a few times, but he was much better at it than me (he was also better at swaddling).

But, he still cooks breakfast on the weekends, and sometimes dinners. He does all the baking, though. I can't bake, or don't like to. I do, however, follow him around and clean up after him. He also does most of the grilling.

Before we had a baby, I did at least 90 percent of the cooking. But now I do daycare pickup, and my husband gets home from work before I get home, so he usually cooks on weeknights. I do the meal planning and grocery shopping.
