[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get the point, I just think it's a bit belabored and whiny.

Many women have partners who don't do much.[/quote]

I mean, I'm not saying it's entirely their fault, but I purposefully searched out a mate who demonstrated initiative and household sufficiency.  He's the only college guy I know who would routinely cook me dinner and iron my shirts for interviews.[/quote]

I did too. I looked for a full partner. DH also looked for a wife who could cook and clean too (in addition to working outside the house) because so many of his ex girlfriends couldn't manage a household and he didn't want the household to be all on him.

My mom always told me to "get them young and train them hard"- referring to a husband. lol. DH came pre-trained. I will teach my sons to manage a household, just as I will train a daughter. That's the key that I think is missing in society. We have low expectations for sons.[/quote]
