What's a full-time wife?

Some might want to sign up to be part time. Can you be a part time husband too?

I never expect it. Her job is way harder than mine.

We trade off on who is in charge for dinner.

My wife stays home to raise children. Housekeeping is an ancillary duty.

Do you mean a full-time stay-at-home mom? How old are the kids, and how many are

No man should ever expect a woman to simply cook for him.

Wouldn't it depend on the discussions the couple had together before getting married? No such blanket statement exists.

Division Bell

Certainly. But I’m simply responding to his question about “expecting” it.

I guess I can't imagine getting married without having prior discussions on roles, goals and what each other can expect

Things change after marriage. Your expectations before marriage are based on...

Of course the relationship is living and always changing. It's why society emphasizes communication.

I’m not going to agree with DB, that washing machines and dishwashers were the worst thing for mothers.

SJS

Well, it is DB.

Fatalplacebo

True. I just think it’s odd that TherealHCBW is agreeing with a dude who wishes she had to work harder.

I'm in no position to tell anyone how to live their lives. But I can share what I might do in that situation.
