And you know this how?  You provide the cooking, cleaning, and bills paying.  Your husband manages his investments.  I'm not saying that the kids won't be able to figure this stuff out.  We all do eventually.  But you haven't given him the opportunity to practice this in any way.  I believe that you know deep in your heart that you are coddling him.  You know that what you are providing him with right now is an extended adolescence and not just paying his rent.  He'll be fine, I'm sure, but just admit that you like having him around for a few more years to mother and spoil.[/quote]

This.  Knowing how to do the individual tasks is different from knowing how to manage all of the tasks for yourself while also working.

I would definitely never even date someone who could not manage a household on his own.  It just leads to a marriage where he thinks his wife is his mommy and should cook and clean for him.[/quote]
