Should she clean the house, take care of the kids and have a hot meal waiting for her man at the end of his workday?
Just wondering what you all think.
Note to Yahoo Question police: this is not a veiled insult to woman. It's just a question.

it depends, if she has no job, then the house should be her job, but if she works too, then it should be split.

I think it depends on the situation....If a woman works and comes home before the hubby, then she can put dinner on for when he comes home..I think the woman should if she is a housewife, cook, clean, wash clothes and other chores and handle daily things that arise and when the hubby comes home, he should help out if she is not a lazy woman who sits in the house all day and do nothing and the house looks a mess, no clothes washed or anything is done that validates her staying home.....
Nowadays, women are out there working like myself 40+ hours and still come home to cook and keep the house clean, bathe the kids and all the things they used to say women need to do....It is nice when a man offers some support and help her...
Back in the day, that was the saying as all the women used to be housewives and that is what they did.....Now you have a lot of working women who work just as hard as a man does and needs help with the different things in the home like cooking, cleaning, private time with the kids and anything that arises daily...
MEN need to get over the past and step up to the plate and help their wives...Take the kids out and let her have some me time and stop being selfish and think those days still exist. It is hard in this world today and we need the help around the house......

It all depends,if she is not working and you both agreed that she will stay home,but it shouldnt be an obligation.Now if she is working,I think you both should take care of the house and the kids.I know that ever since women are allowed to work we all became super women because most of us take care of our home,our kids we work and on top of that we have to stay pretty,most men dont see that,they just go to work and come home expecting us to have the house clean and have a meal on the table waiting for them,I dont think thats fair at all.It should be a team work but I dont think it will ever be because most men are lazy when it comes to the house and kids.

My wife has had my dinner waiting for me many times when I got home from work, but I never expected her to. And as far as cleaning and taking care of the kids, I think that if you have the children, you both should take care of the kids, and both partners should share the responsibilites of cleaning the house.
My wife and I both work, and I won't expect her to do everything like cleaning and taking care of the kids, and making dinner, unless I do the same for her. We are partners, we both share the responsibilites.

I work full time and I get great satisfaction in doing this for him. He has never demanded it or asked for it. I do it because he works a lot more hours than I and I feel it is hard on him. If he comes home too late to go out to eat, I feel it is my duty as his wife to be sure he eats when he comes home. It is just being a responsible wife. We don't play the," I did this so you have to do that game." We just do what needs to be done with no labels on the dishes for me and no labels on the trash for him. I have been married for 32 years to just this one person, so this comes from experience. By the way, we are still crazy about each other.

If she works also, NO. If she is home with the kids the house should at least be clean. Hot meals ??? I guess it depends on how she feels that day.

If she doesn't work outside of home, what else is there to do? However the ideal spouse would return the favor on his day off by bringing breakfast in bed. This may sound like a dream but it has happened.

If she isn't working outside the home the home would be pretty much a woman's job but not as a slave to her husband (and the term "her man" denotes ownership, neither the husband nor the wife OWN their partners).
