[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope a lot of moms are reading this and evaluating whether they can really depend on husbands to do child care. My experience is that very few men are capable/willing to do a decent job so women end up working two jobs and are miserable because they can't do well at the home stuff after working in an office all day.[/quote]

I think men mostly not prepared to do this job. Women are always fight for equality without realizing that men are different. He still can successfully to this job assuming he is trained very well and willing to do it. In OP's case, it doesn't seems that [b]she ever tought him (without nagging) how to run the household, but she demands from him that all that need to be done.[/b] [/quote]

Why should she 'teach' him? He's a grown man who should know its a part of his responsibility! And parents need to start teaching their sons that they're expected to be equal parents - cooking, cleaning, minding while also expecting girls to step up as equal providers. As long as we have that distinction there will always be two unhappy halves of a whole. [/quote]

Why? Because clearly he has no clue how to do it. Because you are assuming most of the men learned these skills growing up. They didn't. Back then, most of the moms were staying at home and boys were raised without having any clue what to do with kids, how to run the household, etc. [/quote]

I a man a woman. Grew up in the us. I didn't know how to do this stuff either.  But when the time came, I stepped up,and did what had to be done. As did my spouse.

Good for you.  the problem is not just not knowing how to run a household, it’s not caring to either and letting it all go to pot. [/quote]
