[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The men I’ve dated that were raised to do more domestic chores always impressed me and were better partners - self-sufficient, helpful, and more egalitarian. [/quote] This is why I have my boys do chores. They’re still young (elementary age), but they help with unloading the dishwasher, sorting and putting away laundry, wiping down the bathroom sink, clearing the table after dinner, making beds in the morning, etc. plus are expected to pick up after themselves like towels, shoes, etc. I have no desire to raise men who think a mother figure is always going to come behind them and clean their messes/keep track of their belongings. My DH also models this as well. One of the things I liked when we were dating was that his bedroom and bathroom were clean. Poor guy would try to maintain the kitchen but his roommates were slobs (and their now-wives complain about them not helping around the house). [/quote]
