Do an equal share of the housework when he/she is home? No. That's my job-but he does help randomly, usually when it is needed most. He also does all of the repairs and takes on the wacky projects I dream up. (This week it was a repurposed headboard made into a chalkboard and mounted onto the wall to write messages to our family on.) :laugh:
Cook for you? he grills like no other...and can cook the most perfect over medium egg. When i'm sick he makes me soup. Other than that, i'm the cook.
Go food shopping? He does with me. I'm the "manager" of the household so I try to take care of all that myself-but if we need to go shopping on his day off, he eagerly goes with me and helps put it all away when we get home.
Give you massages when you ask? All the time. He used to be a sports therapist and he gives the best massages! Almost every night I fall asleep while he is massaging me. It's so relaxing!
Tell you you are beautiful/handsome? Constantly. He makes me feel like a queen.
Buy his/her own clothes?! Usually, because he is unusually large (6 foot 9 and 330 pounds) so it is difficult to surprised him and buy him something without having him try it on first.
Notice the dust? Never.
Take the children off so you have some free time? He would if I asked him, but he works so hard to support all of us that I very, very rarely ask him.
Arrange anything or is it all left to you? I do the planning and arranging of most things.
Open his/her post? yes, he likes to open his own mail. He is very organized and I have lost his bills once or twice.
Do any paperwork ever? He usually asks me to do it because he likes my handwriting better, but will not hesitate to do it if i'm not home.0 -
Mine did none of the above.
that's why he's gone.......................0 -

Do an equal share of the housework when he/she is home? Not really. As a sahm he usually doesn't need to. Sometimes he'll do the dishes for me, which is nice.
Cook for you? He used to. When I was pregnant with my first he tried to have food for me when I got home from work, but I usually didn't like it (not his fault, just the preggo) so he stopped. But he does grill now that we have one. It is awesome. Especially during the summer
Go food shopping? When I ask him to or if I need to shop on the weekend he will come with me.

Arrange anything or is it all left to you? It depends on what it is, but mostly I do it because I like doing everything, and this is kind of a snow ball affect, if I start to arrange things than it makes more sense for me to just keep doing it because I know what has and has not been arranged.
Open his/her post? He opens his own but sometimes I get super excited when things come and I will open it first.
Do any paperwork ever? When paperwork does need to be done, I do it, but once again this is one of those snowball things that if I start to do it, I just keep doing it because I already know what needs to be done.0 -

SO get where you are coming from! About once a year mine goes clothes shopping and always comes home with 2 tweed jackets, 8 collared shirts and a pair of cord trousers. He's such a geek. I had to buy him socks for Christmas because he hadn't bothered getting his own in 5 years.0 -
