MEN!!!!!!

Yeah, but they are ALL taken!!!

All of that and more. Every day.

My dad always did these things when I was living at home.

I do it every day. If I asked the same question in reverse, like can any woman change her oil, keep of the phone, or stop a home invader, I would be considered a sexist. Gender roles are defined by upbringing and society, not our bits and pieces.

I can do all that except the home invader, lol...still working on that. You do have a point there though, if this was a man asking all that stuff, the drama would ensue.
In any case, I'm lucky enough to say that my partner does all that: the cleaning etc.

<~~This guy.


No medal please. I believe that the chores around the house are not gender based.

Any man that truly believes that this 'housekeeping' is a woman's job. Is still dragging their knuckles on the ground. Also they disrepsect the woman in their life with the childish notion that it's somehow a woman's place to take care of everything.

Women work too and they need to come home, put their feet up, have their man bring them a drink, a hug, a kiss. Sometimes women need to know their man cares that much to share the responisblities around the house.

Can I marry you now, my Zebra Head????

Pushes Cecy out of the way...me, me, me!!!

Read the book Love and Respect.

It was a good book to read about relationships.

I have not met one. I am sure they do exist tho, then again I believe in fairies and ghosts too! J/K..... I also do the lawn the weeding the landscaping, painting, and minor home repairs (the internet is a great home owners tool).

Mine will do pretty much anything i ask, but i have to ask. sometimes i wish he'd just look around and see what needs to be done then do it, but remembering his place before we lived together, i know he just really doesn't see it! he's a great dad and will do anything and everything for the kids. when i do ask, i have to give very specific instructions too! but it'll get done! :-) He's recently taken it upon himself to vacuum regularly, which was a nice surprise. This weekend, he mopped the floors because he knew they needed to be done, and i wasn't going to have time. Maybe he's learning after all...

I do it every day. If I asked the same question in reverse, like can any woman change her oil, keep of the phone, or stop a home invader, I would be considered a sexist.

I do consider the questions you pose as sexist, but so are the OP's.

I can get my oil changed for under $20 (I can change my own, but why, if it doesn't save me money).

Fair question. Stereotyped, but fair.... on the other hand, you have to pay me to get ON the phone (literally).

I know many men who couldn't stop a home invader. Brag about it, sure. Actually do it, no.

Gender roles are defined by upbringing and society, not our bits and pieces.

This, I agree with 100%.

I don't have a Man or kids... But one day I would love for a man do that!!! It's a bonus

I think my point was taken wrongly. I'm not saying a woman coudln't do those things. I was stating that the OPs post was sexist in nature, and pointing out that if a man said various things about the female sex, he would be just as bad.

But to further the point, how many women actually fill the "mother" role well. These generalizations that men don't do housework and can't care for children aren't true, I know many who do, I know many who do not. But the comparison was a bogus one to begin with because I know a lot of mothers who aren't good at child rearing and housework as well.

Just because I have testicles doesn't mean that the meth-head mom in the trailer park, the woman smoking in a car with her infant, or countless other slackers are better than me at caretaking because of their milk glands.

How about the moms who don't work outside the house, have full time daycare, and different grandparents watching the kids on the weekends while they have their lunch time martinis and pop pills to "even them out". Better than me? I rather doubt it. Generalizations about gender roles are best left to comedians.

My hubby is awesome at housework.....cooks dinner enough that I don't have reason to complain. But, it is like pulling teeth for him to go out of his way to drive me anywhere if he isn't interested in the destination. We don't have kids.....so I am thankful it is just me suffering from this side of his 'manhood' hehe.

I'm sure they are out there, but i definitely did not marry one. LOL

I have not met one. I am sure they do exist tho, then again I believe in fairies and ghosts too! J/K..... I also do the lawn the weeding the landscaping, painting, and minor home repairs (the internet is a great home owners tool).

same here! i'm a stay at home mom and my husband says "hey if i'm home, i should keep up with the yard as well... " grrr and don't get me started with home repairs... I had to fix a few things up because it takes him months and months to get to it after i point it out, in fact probably even years! i just bought myself a repair kit thing with a drill and stuff, so now i'm taking over!!

Are there any men in this world that clean a house, make dinner and drive kids around?

yes! my man does. I started changing the way i treated him and talked to him about these things. I talked to him sincerely and explained to him how overwhelmed i was and didnt yell at him about it. I talked to him respectfully and its amazing what happened. He helped and still continues to help.

Ive come to the realization that all i had to do was ask. The problem with that is I asked but he didnt do it when i wanted him to. I had to learn that regardless, its still got done.

Plus, I just started delegating to him tasks i need him to do. He was totally cool with it. I think he didnt really know what he needed to do cause i handled it all and then resented him for it.

Be specific and respectful. Men need to feel respected. Period.

Wow! You get us. I'm super impressed. You will live a happy and healthy life.

This could be the most insightful post I've ever read.
