[QUOTE="Lil, post: 729677, member: 17309"] I was once told when I was in my late 20's by a lady attendant at a gas station that I "needed a wife". (Long Story) Well I tease my darling Jabber that he's a much better wife than I am. :laugh: I hit the jackpot with him. A man who grew up with 5 sisters, had been in the military, and then a bachelor for 10 or 15 years after that? [I]Awesome![/I] He knows how to cook, clean, do laundry and does them all because "they need done". Okay...I do them too. And to be perfectly honest, neither of us are particularly good at the cleaning part. In fact, our house is [I]always[/I] a mess. When things like vacuuming and mopping get done - I do it, but truthfully, it doesn't get done nearly as often as it should. We're just bad housekeepers in that general "make it look nice and neat" category. We have too much clutter and too much dust and we [I]never[/I] get a handle on it. I think I probably do more picking up and "cleaning"; I've done showers and toilets, etc. the vast majority of the time...but then again, he's mowed the lawn a [I]lot [/I]more than I ever have, and when he gets home he takes care of the dog doo and the cat box and what have you. He takes out the trash way more often. So I'd say it evens out. We both cook - he usually does breakfast on the weekends, but I do sometimes. I'd say I might do dinners a bit more often - but he does them too. I'd call laundry a 50/50 thing and I'd like to say I'm constantly doing dishes, because it [I]feels[/I] that way, but truthfully, he does them just about as much. All in all, I'd say we have a pretty good split. Sometimes I feel like I'm not really pulling my weight in that department :unsure: doing the "wife things", when he starts doing dishes, for instance...but I hate doing them so I bury that guilt way deep down inside and let him. :tongue: [/QUOTE]
