Every week.
She gets kinda territorial when I try to do it. Heaven
forbid if I screw with her hedge trimmers.
She takes the lead on most home renno projects as well.
While she’s re-doing the cupboard or bathroom I make sure
the groceries are done and her meals are made. On top of that, each week I do
the laundry and vacuuming.
Gender roles seem a bit ridiculous. I love how some men and
women feel that there are certain things that they are just physically unable
to even comprehend because of their gender.
I know men who are meticulously careful about how clean
their car is, combing over every last inch, but they feel strongly that those
skills don’t translate to cleaning the house.
They can rewire the house, following long wire runs through
multiple floors, but they feel that their man parts eliminates them from ever comprehending
how a French braid is put together.
I love that my wife and I are true partners.
We share responsibility not based on what 1960’s TV modelled
for North American society, we support each other’s weaknesses with our
strengths. We do whatever job needs to be done when we are available to do it.
Either of us can cook, clean, get the child ready… do whatever needs to be done
so that our family is best served. She even earns a higher salary than I do. That doesn't make me less manly. It's makes me happy because I have a sugar mama.
:P
:P
It’s awesome to be able to do life with a true partner.
Just don’t ask her to help when a there’s a spider nearby… that’s my job
