Hey Ladies

Do you think a guy is Less of a man because he helps around the house by doing stuff like, doing the dishes, hanging up the washing, taking out the trash?

Because some of my males friends still believe the women's place is in the kitchen and he shouldnt be doing stuff like that.

Thanks

let me tell ya what i think.....

first i believe in the traditional roles of men and women...i believe once children come women should stay home and raise them (because generally speaking we are better suited to it then men) and that, generally, includes taking care of the house too. unfortunately, in our current society not only is women filling that role frowned upon its not always possible as we are entrenched in being a two income society.

that said..........it does not preclude a man from helping out. in what way is it emasculating to help pick up or clean the environment you live in? doesnt that sound a bit ridiculous? i think it is.

and as to the above in bold....THIS is part of the reason why the family unit has fallen apart. you have gotten confused that "homemaker" translates into "maid". we are not the mothers of our husbands nor are we paid employees. i think its an honor to be able to take care of my family and my home but when (and dont kill me here Menarealwaysignored) men reduce us and our work down to so little you take that honor away....and that sucks because i firmly believe that in the last 30 years if more moms had been willing or able to stay home and raise their kids themselves we'd have a much better country as a whole right now.

and thats what i think....

oh and ps!! if your woman is working and bringing home money then you are responsible for that house as much as she...and thats really just DUH. ur friends are morons if they think different. just sayn

littlemissbitch ~ professional face ripper offer, at your service..

Put another log on the fire babe, cook me up some bacon and some beans. Then go out to the car and lift it up and change the tyres, wash my socks and sew my old blue jeans. You can fetch my pipe and my slippers boil me up another pot of tea. Put another log on the fire babe and come and tell my why you're leaving me.

guys who do that get MORE sex....ladies may not say that...but there is nothing sexier than a guy who knows that household chores are FOR all people who live there...

ps bet your buddies will be single as soon as their ladies figure out that MOST guys do..do this.. these days....

Ahh the good ol' medieval time.

Oops I think your friends didn't get the update memo. How you manage to remain friends with them?

Your friends are idiots!! Most probably very LONELY idiots!! If you help out around the house you are much more of man then they will ever be.

I usually end up doing the dishes and laundry on the days I work from home. Lets face it, how much time does it take to put the dishes into the dishwasher and clothes in the washing/drying machine? I read this book called the Five Love Languages. Doing something for others was one of the five. The others were affirmation, physical touch, quality time, and buy me stuff.

Though, my personal favorites are affirmation and physical touch.

THIS!

No way is he less of a man, in fact it makes him more of a man in my opinion.

One of my things to do in my life is to be a mother and a housewife. This however, does not equal slave!

Your friends are douches, who do not deserve girlfriends

According to research carried in Europe and America men who do housework are not only happier in their marriages, but also have lower heart rates, better sex lives, better health, less stress and are physically healthier than men who don't.

That's a man.

So don't worry Dark_Lord ignore your mates they are just little mummy's boys.

My latest story:

This post has to be a joke or written a century before the Internet existed.

If a woman's place is in the kitchen, how's she supposed to hang out the washing and take out the trash? There's only so much work you can do in the kitchen! :)

I do most of the work around the house because I'm the one who's home most of the time. My husband helps out clearing the dishes after dinner and does a few other chores. I've never asked him to help or hinted at it, he just sees what needs to be done and does it. None of these things make a man less of a man. They just make life easier for everyone and when life's easier, people are more inclined to be happy.

i help around the house, in fact, i do most of the housework, being unemployed at present, and trust me, i am way more of a man then your friends. sound like a bunch of whiny ass whimps, to me - real men aren't afraid of doing a little work instead of sitting around in their underwear, drinking beer, getting fat, and watching tv.

Blondie's been itching to share another adventure sometime soon...

A real man can load the dishwasher with one hand, turn the dials on the washing machine with his toes while he mentally evaluates whether or not the garbage has enough to take out or can stay for at least one more day.
All while he tells me all the naughty things we're going to do in the bedroom as soon as he puts the leftovers from dinner away.

Fix the dishwasher? Sure, Change the oil? I'm on it, Build me some cabinets? Absolutly, Mow the lawn? You betcha, Do the laundry? Taken care of, Fix dinner?

YOU WANNA DIE?

What a pathetic question, how can helping around your own house make you less of a man. The year is 2012!!!
