[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are 10 years older than yours, and even in that short amount of time, gender roles have really changed.  I dealt with it because, at the time my kids were little, most women did nearly all of the cooking and cleaning.  DH and I are both doctors, and our medical school class was nearly half women, but even so, nearly all of the married women I knew, even those married to men who earned far less (police officer, firefighter, etc), did most or all of the cooking and cleaning.  
And women, even physicians, were proud of being good homemakers, cooking from scratch, decorating and taking care of their homes, etc.

I don’t think I would be able to tolerate it now.   I would feel like a chump rushing home every day to cook, preschoolers in tow, while all of my friends only took on half of the domestic tasks.

My sister said exactly the same thing. Different generational expectations. She still makes dinner from scratch for her DH every night. [/quote]
