I would say I felt this way the first 3 years of our marriage. I wash his clothes, but he has to fold them most of the time.... sometimes he washes the laundry. I don't always cook for him... I cook mostly for our kids... sometimes there's nothing left when he comes home... but he doesn't complain. I used to do everything you are saying ... but then something happened (infidelity)... and I told him that I would never be the same again. He pitches in much more now... in fact sometimes he cooks after he comes home.... and sometimes he washes the dishes. I stopped working my a_ _ off, because he did something I never expected he would do.... and so I promised I would never be the perfect housewife again.....and I kept that promise. We are happier this way.

Any Men feel like their wives are like Moms?? They say that were are egotistical!!! I have been married for ten years now. My first marriage I was a mommy to my wife at the time who was lazy did not know how to cook, clean, do laundry nor Iron. Fortunately, I was ironing, cleaning, at the age of 9yrs. Started working at 15, graduated at 17 had my first apartment at 18 married at 20 hoping that I wouldn't have to do all that I did as a kid growing up. Until I realized that my first wife was a lazy spoiled little brat, that's why I divorced her. Now, my wife and I take care of our children and each other. So, to all of you lazy people Men and Women who get married just to sit on your !@# Trust me you won't be married much longer being that way..

Cooking, ironing, laundry....aren't those the duties of a housewife? As long as he's bringing home $$$, I don't see where the problem is. I have no problem doing that kind of stuff for my husband, because he works real hard for us (I should mention that I work too).

I think men just expect us to do all this for them, it's what they're used to when it comes down to it, their mums done it for them!

My brother gets all this done for him, I will pity his wife whenever he gets married.

My other half doesn't eat unless I cook, the washing never gets done unless I do it, he doesn't want me to do his ironing yet he won't do it himself, he waits until his mum comes to visit and she will stand and iron over 50+ shirts (and that's not exaggerating).

Cleaning the house is another matter, he is like a tornado, I could spend all day cleaning and not get anywhere cos iI'm always going round cleaning up after him...if I go on strike I'm the worst in the world, so for a quiet life, I just get on with it.

I have been with my husband for about 7 years and yes i do feel like my husband at times can act like a child and make me feel like am a single mom to our 2 daughters... He works and yes i do have the privilege of staying home and caring for my children and house but what he doesn't understand is that there are times when i need help and he just isn't willing to give in.. So in that aspect in my marriage i do feel like his mom most of the time.. A thank you now and then would be nice, so YES i do understand how you feel that you are just A wife and caregiver to him.. Don't get me wrong i love my family and i know that what i am doing for them is the ultimate thing i can do for them all i am saying it would be nice for your hard work to be acknowledged from time to time.

well I feel like my fiance is a child a lot of times, but i refuse to do anymore than his laundry. I am becoming the 'nagging wife' because he gets an ear full if he doesn't clean up after himself. I am determined for us to be equals and he knows it and has known it since the first day we started dating. Don't know why he surprised and gets all pissy when I complain about it. If he doesn't like it he shouldn't kept dating me and put a ring on my finger.

Anyone in here feel like their husband is a child? No, he's an exciting, interesting, hardworking man.
and your just a housewife? "just"? I consider it an honor!
do you cook for him- every night! And I cook from scratch- no frozen crap for my man!
iron his clothes- of course I do! Who else would??
make sure he has clean underwear- clean underthings are always in the drawer for him.
Being a wife is the greatest job in the world- I couldn't be happier. He works hard, supports everything I do, and I have the luxury of working from home. Ironing and cooking are only 2 small ways I can contribute to the success of our marriage.

I have to admit, being old fashioned... like the man works hard and I am a woman working hard is a total turn on for me.

He keeps my car running perfectly, it makes me want to do laundry... HAHAHA :) Its funny. I was never like this before in other relationships though...

My last relationship, my guy did everything for me... he even brought me coffee in bed in the morning.... but my heart wasn't in the relationship, I had settled... many women would be envious (he did all the dishes, laundry and everything... I worked and made more money)...

Truthfully though... I am MUCH MUCH happier in my relationship now... where I do the domestic things and my man works hard doing his things... it feels more harmonious.

Yes, there are times that I do feel that way, although we both have jobs and we both put in our share of the household chores. Sometimes I feel he's just a large child and when it comes to common sense, I feel he's a bit lacking....lol.
