Question for Stay at home moms or their husbands?

Question

Does the stay at home mom(or housewife,if kids arent home all day),cook every night or most or hardly? And does she cook meals or just heat things up? And does she do all the cleaning and are these things demanded of her?(does she have one of those husbands?) Does the husband in your home do "housework" as well?

Answer 1

Although I am a stay at home, my husband still gives me a helping hand after he comes home from work with the baby. Just because you are a housewife, doesn't mean you HAVE to clean and cook, I don't most of the time, not that I am lazy, but if the house is clean, why bother, if there are leftovers, why cook more food. You are thinking of that 50's Leave it to Beaver type of mom, but no, times have changed, unless your husband is being a d**k, and expects you to be a slave.

Answer 2

It depends. My mother in law was an Air Force Officer wife, so she was a stay at home mom cause they moved around so much. At first, she did a ton of cleaning and cooking. But the last 7 years, she still doesn't work, while her husband works 2 jobs just to keep up with the standard of life they had before Delta had all those paycuts. One sone is married (my hubby), the other a junior in college (no longer lives at home) and the third is a senior in High School. They have a huge house she refuses to move out into a smaller, less expensive on so they can have more money for retirement and such. She hardly cooks and cleans. Her husband, with 2 jobs, busy as hell, does most of the cooking (when he's home, he's a pilot for delta, so he's gone some nights, that's when his wife either reheats stuff up or cooks an easy meal, or even does just take out), and cleans on his free time, while she lays on the couch, reading People magazine, and cutting coupons for things they don't need or food they won't eat. I think it's a depression thing, or that she needs a change and doesn't know how to go about it. I hope I helped. GOOD LUCk!!!

Answer 3

I don't cook everyday. Usually 4-5 nights a week. Sometimes I just heat something up, but usually it's something from scratch. I do most of the house work inside, he does most of it outside, but there's no "rule" on that. Sometimes he will help with laundry or picking up, and I'll do the mowing or take out the trash. It's give and take. If something needs done, whomever gets to it first does it, generally. My husband never demands I do anything. He repects what I do as I respect what he does. I'm a stay at home mom, not a servant. He is not my boss, he is my partner.

Answer 4

I am a housewife who stays at home during the day I take care of my grand kids ages 10, 5 and 1 years old while my daughter works. I do the cooking, laundry, and all the cleaning in the house. I don't expect my husband to come home after working long hours and do housework too because that's my job. I only wished that he would appreciate what I do more.

Answer 5

I work from home and consider myself a "housewife".
I cook everynight. We go out for dinner once a week.
I cook real food - never boxed or frozen dinners.
I do all the cleaning and things related to the house by choice.
My husband handles the car, the outdoor tasks, fixes things, manages the plumber and repairs, etc.
No one "demands" I do these things; it's part of running a household and that's my responsibility.
My husband works 12 hours a day so that I can stay home- no way in hell would I expect him to come home and start doing housework!
Call me a Domestic Goddess... this lovely, happy, calm home (and husband) give me great joy.

Answer 6

I have been a house wife for 13 years and my husband is a great man. I do clean the house every day but not because I have too but because I don't like to see our home dirty. My son has to clean his room and pick up after himself. I cut the lawn ounce a week and my husband does the edges while I cut the lawn. He cleans the garage because he has more stuff in their than I do, and I just wouldn't know where he puts all his tools. I do cook home made meals mostly Mexican food but I don't do it every day. I cook about 5 days out of the week and that's because my hubby dosent like for me to do any cooking on his days off. We always have family time together on his days off. We call it our days off!! He is not picky at all and his money has always been our money. I see and hear a lot of people saying being a house wife is easy but I think it's a big responsibility what makes it easy is having the support of your whole family. My hubby has been the Coach for my son's soccer team for quiet a while and i have been the team mom. We like to work in the house together and fix things around it. I think we make a great team not because we have too but because we want too..

Answer 7

I am a stay at home mom. I cook every night. i mean real cooking that requires me being in the kitchen for a couple of hours- not just nuking sstuff. i do all of the cleaning, the laundry, pay the bills, and chase my truly terrible two year old around while i am doing it.
The only time my husband will clean is if someone is coming over and they call 5 minutes b4 they arrive!

Answer 8

I've been a stay at home mom for five months now, when my husband and i both worked full time jobs .we both did the cooking and cleaning and even the yard work together.Now I do a little more because I'm home all of the time

Answer 9

I was a stay at home home with my older children. I cleaned the house and did all the cooking. Except on Friday and Saturday nights. We ate out. I felt that if my husband was working all day to make money for our family, I could make sure he came home to a clean house and a good meal. As for heating things up...yes we did have left overs.

Answer 10

Stay at home moms or housewives play an important role in nation building. Their role is generally derated but if their work is costed it would be a significant contribution to GDP.Enterprising moms finish all the work in a Giffy and have time to socialize with neighbors too. Husband should help if he can to help her and encourage her.Normally in third world countries she has the help of a maid who does cleaning and swabbing.This luxury housewives in developed nations do not have.
