25/01/2007 11:50:50 AMYou are 100% correct!! My husband loves to cook too and I love to clean. Our division of chores works very well for us and if I feel like cooking, then great. Nobody else should dictate how marriage and married life should be but the two people involved in it. If you are happy with how things work, then stick with it and let nobody else push you around.

27/01/2007 2:48:12 PMas a husband coming home from a hard days work, he would want to come home to a hot meal, all ready and prepared. it unfair for him to do even the cooking in the house after a tiring day. i think you should try to cook more.

27/01/2007 5:46:08 PMhi malt, a husband may be tired form a hard day's work at the office but how abt the wife? she not only works (if she has a full time job and even being a housewife is a full time job) but also predominantly cares for the children as well. in this present time of "modernity", the concept and the division of the household shld be changed just like how the times have changed. women are active contributors in the workforce and just as we like to be treated "equally" in the workforce, we wld oso like tt in the household. male chauvinism and patriarchy are not realistic in marriages these days.

1/02/2007 3:12:22 PMyes malt i would have to agree with the rest on this. in todays day...having a husband home and staring at the tv and expecting meals to be prepared , not helpin out in the housework will only lead to disaster and resentment. if the guy is smart...he should know wht works best in the end. have to look at this in the long run..not what you think is right. hehe although im not working now, without no kids...people use to tell me that i should be the one cooking and doin more of the house chores..hrmmm.

7/02/2007 11:28:35 AMThat's right. My husband also enjoys cooking.Due to that passion he's now involved in food caterings and have 2 food stalls to mend.He still cook at home on weekends but there is never an issue to us as to who should be doing the chores.
I think the best person to decide will be urself and ur husband.You should never let others influnce you on your family management.Sometimes others will only give you the wrong decision and your family will suffer.
Just carry on with what's best for your family.

8/02/2007 9:38:37 PMI have three generations of men who cook. Grandfather, father, and cousins. These male cousins are better cook than some of us, female cousins.
I am the worst cook. I like hot and spicy food. Hubby does not, so he cooks his own food.

You are not making any mistakes, sweety you are so lucky to have a husband that cooks, and husband that take initiative in the kitchen makes a good father and likewise a great marriages, cherish what you have and defend it like you life depend on it

23/02/2007 1:30:10 PMi think men should do chores. there is nothing wrong with that. infact, it makes the relationship stronger. we dont live in the stone ages where men have to travel for miles to hunt down for food, and work long hourse under the sun. back then, women cooking and cleaning, sounded fair. but now it doesnt. women work as hard as men, harder most of the time.

12/03/2007 12:59:57 AMOh my, so many replies! :D thanks for your support.
I guess from the response I'm getting , its actually ok for my husband to be cooking, and if we are happy with our marriage and division of labour, that should be the main thing.
I wish there's a voting system. But anyway, I think masalle explains it in a summarise manner in the role of women in today's time. Although it would be nice to go into that more, (role of women in modern time, think there's a question for that already) but i had this question opened for a while and it's time to select an answer.
So, thanks for your answers.

2/12/2007 9:49:21 PMI do think the rest of the reply is right.Nowadays most of the couple are working ......Me and my husband do the house work together...... and he also do the cooking at times . He knew i was tired and ask me to rest and he did the cooking......Still i will still help with the cooking.......As a husband & wife , we should share doing things such as cleaning up the house / cooking but not the laundry......Out of 10 men only 1 or 2 men would understand and help the wife ...... than only they know it is tiring as a full time housewife......

my husband loves to cook and does most of the cooking. why do people find that strange and keep telling me that i have to do the cooking instead when we are happy with our division of the chores in the household. isnt it up to us to negiotiate the division of jobs to what suits our married life instead of wht people think?
