WOMEN and cooking.

CaliforniaSweetheart

It all boils down to preference. Some have a desire to care for their men like that, others don't. I have known plenty of women raised in a traditional home and their husbands cater to them. I think ot has less to do with upbringing and more to do with personality. I have a "servants heart" and like that about myself. Nobody is right or wrong when it comes to thos or better than the other. You be yourself and be with someone who suits you.

I'm off to bed now...goodnight everyone!

I think in general women still do the cooking. As proof of that look at the amount of cooking adverts aimed at women mainly. Men barbeque! Look at the adverts again.
I don't think its necessary for women to be the cook. I don't see why it necessary anymore. Women aren't always the stay at home type. Who ever is home first should cook unless cooking is your thing and you want to do it.

I cook 6 days out of 7, my husband makes an amazing steak stir fry which I insist on having one a week!

The wife and the husband are a team. As long as things get done as they need to be then it does not matter. That being said i believe every family is better off when one parent is home and makes caretaking their main priority. A family is typically better off when at least one parent is home and when parents take responsibility for their own kids instead of taking them to daycare just so both parents can work just to afford a house that is too expensive. There are of course situations where people need two incomes but generally speaking most couples just don't want to give up things they don't need.

I am a stay-at-home mother and I love cooking for my family. My husband works a lot to support us so the least I can do is make sure he has a nice dinner when he comes home.

Same here.

I cook, and I enjoy it. I'm a pretty decent cook. When I was married I did 100% of the cooking. He grilled when it was nice weather though. I'm no longer married and the guy I'm seeing is an awesome cook. He cooks for me every time I'm at his place. I've cooked for him as well, but he's so much better at it, plus he enjoys it, so I certainly don't complain!!

i think its still safe to say that women care about men in that aspect , u know what they say " The way to a mans heart is through his tummy"

I'm a man. She cooks for me very well. And I her. Not something either of us see's as a job for the other - we enjoy looking after each other.

I love to cook, my hubby loves to eat, so we are happy. Kids seem to hate proper meals tho and would live at mcdonalds. I love being an old fashioned housewife, and most of my friends do too, even though its 2013! Mu husband would not swap places with me even if I could earn more money.

My husband hates making anything that takes him longer than 10 minutes to make, so his supper is all bran flakes, futurelife or toast and eggs,lol. I make the food and he baths, washes bottles and feeds the baby at night.

I enjoy making food and trying new recipes. He loves me trying out healthy alternatives and we are both healthy food obsessed - our poor children,lol.

So it still goes both ways with our marraige. There is no way I will be able to do everything when coming home at 7 o clock at night. I just handle the making of food.

Hahahahaha, dont think thats true in my case,lol. It might just be the other way around.

kittyhorn

I generally do all the cooking. My BF likes convenience foods when he "cooks" and I like to know what I'm eating.

My fiance and I have been together for 3 years and I do all the cooking and cleaning. I cook him breakfast, a lunch to take to work (not sandwiches, real meals) and dinner as well. I work as well and go to school and some people say it's old fashioned, but I'm only 20 and I do it because he provides for me in other ways. (Not to mention he can't cook anyway haha)

But I don't think of it as an equality thing. He does things for me, I do things for him. It all works out. For some people, it works, for some people, it doesn't. For our particular relationship, it does!

I do cook for my man and I love it when he appreciates ...He is good with Coffee and noodles...

GeekTink

I cook for my other half (albeit she be female, though more manly in nature) when I can. I'm not too good at it yet, but I am trying to become better. I like the thought of being able to cook dinner and have it ready for her when she gets home. I hope you find a lady that likes to please you as much as I love to please her!

Great stuff , treat your girl with respect . good luck

I don't cook much because I hate cooking and I'm really picky. My husband eats everything and is a great cook. We live apart 8 months of the year because I go to school 4 hours from home for now Therefore, I cook for myself while I'm here and he does the same for him. Mine are more simplistic, fast meals (not unhealthy, but for example wraps, frozen veggies and frozen skillet meals are staple suppers of mine and I always pack a cold lunch) while he takes Sunday and cooks 4-5 days worth of meals so he has good food for the week. We came to an agreement that when we're home together, he will do the cooking and I will clean - sticking to our strengths. I'll cook (or even bake!) something for both of us once in a while but it's not very often.

I'm single right now, but when I am with a man I do all the cooking and cleaning. I enjoy catering to and caring for them. Old fashioned I know, but it is what it is and how I was raised.

i want to know the 2013 mentality, do women still do this for their men?

I cook every meal for my family/husband. He does other things to care for me but I love cooking and most of all...it means I control what I eat and I'm the one most interested in the health of the family. My husband runs our business which has him working most hours. We are very traditional in that respect. He did bring me breakfast in bed yesterday thou

turtlefitnessdad

I don't really like it when a women cooking and being a homemaker is reffered to as traditional. It makes it sound old fashioned. I am not saying that anyone on here said anything like this but it just makes me think of a feminist type perspective. It just bugs me.
There is nothing wrong with a women that decides to take the reins of the most important job there is and ever could be, being a mom. I get so annoyed when women act like a housewife is something to frown at. The honest truth is that a housewife in most cases deserves to be paid better then just about any other job.

jakkidoodles

I cook for my whole family. I seem to have a knack for it. Plus I don't fancy living on still frozen in the middle chips, nuggets and beans for the rest of my life......

The man cannot cook at all, which is fine, not everyone has the talent. What I object to is that he doesn't want to learn

I'm happy at the moment to do the traditional home maker thing, but when I go back to work, things will have to change.

Now, cleaning is something we share equally in our home. Thank the gods for that.

I wish cleaning was more equally divided in our home, because my husband is very messy. Sometimes though, I consider cleaning to be as much therapy as cooking.

rduhlir

I cook for him...because if I didn't he would eat vienna sausages and bolognese sandwiches every day.

We have role reversal in my house - my husband has been the 'stay at home'/house person since DD was about 2 years old. He went back to working part time when she was 4 and she's now 7.

He is the cook in our house - I am a terrible cook anyway so if we're cooking to eat together then he usually cooks. However, he eats much later than myself and our daughter so I usually do dinner for me and her whilst he cooks for himself when he's ready.

He also does the majority of everyday housework like washing, cleaning, hoovering, washing the dishes etc....

ebailey710

I love to cook for him, because he eats anything and when I experiment still gives me a confidence boost. He likes to cook, but isn't as skilled, and I enjoy the therapy I get from preparing a meal.
