Have women forgotten their role in the home? Is it so wrong to expect to come home to a good dinner,clean home and quiet kids after a long day at work? Divorce rates seem to be at an all time high.... should men be allowed to have a speedy divorce on the grounds of lazy wife? Im not a chauvanist at all.. just asking opinions...

absolutely agree with u. if a man is a good provider a woman should take care of the house and kids and also take care of herself and wait her man from work with ready dinner on the table wearing sexy lingery. if a man is a good provider and he doesn't have all these he is a sucker - he should dump whoevr he is with and find the grateful one

Back in the day all that was expected of women was to keep a good house look after the kids and have dinner on the table. I have to try an keep the house look after the kids have dinner on the table an work a forty hour week. Women didnt go out to work then because there full time job was at home. Dish washers, washing machines and microwaves along with convenience food is all a result of women having to do all of the above and juggle work at the same time since the fifties.

I let a girlfriend move in for a short time after she quit her job and sold her house. Soon I was coming home from work and she was still sitting there in her bathrobe. If I asked her to help with any household chores she had a million excuses why she couldn't do that or would outright say she didn't want to do that. She would like do a load of laundry and act like it was a big deal. Funny, that takes me all of 30 seconds to dump in clothes and push the appropriate button.
So I was coming home from work and doing all the chores while she sat there and watched me in her bathrobe. She doesn't live here any more.
If both people work they need to be a team and each have their half of household chores. If only one person works the other should be keeping a spotless house and fixing good meals.

The roles of women and men have merged in modern times creating stress for the entire family. Because most women work outside the home, they too are stressed and exhausted at the end of the day. Being as the Bible refers to them a "weaker vessel", they are unable to adequately carry out household duties along with an outside job. What is worse, they begin to feel resentful and unappreciated when their husbands insist that the home be kept, children cared for, and meals be prepared exactly the same way a woman who does not work outside the home does it.
Sorry, we no longer live in a Donna Reed world. But for the record, I miss it too.

I work a full time job, go to school full time and still manage to clean and cook and take care of three kids. Every situation is different and everybody is different.
You will have to define lazy?! Lazy as in taking care of kids all day and working a full time job? This info would be helpful in answering your question or opinion. But to answer by just what you gave us, then I would have to say, "We all can not be perfect now can we?"

I have to agree with you with women forgetting their role in the home. That's because most of the women these days work a full-time job just like their husbands do. It is like the husband and wife pass each other by, the wave thing. Some have to work a full-time job just to make ends meet. But, then you do have some that are just plain lazy and would rather sit in front of a TV and watch their favorite soap opera.
I really think that many look at it this way, that (women should work, put their kids in a day care, because that's the "right thing to do" these days. It is wrong for women to stay home and take care of the home, have dinner made, homework done, laundry done, have no life, etc.....) But then you have the ones who would rather meet her husband's needs, like having dinner made when he gets home from a long day of work, laundry done, kids homework done, wanting to show appreciation to her husband for working and bringing home the $$$, respecting him in all that he does, and loving on him no matter how dirty he is. Those kind of women are the ones who are willing to do what it takes to keep a happy home, and keep the fire going in the marriage.
You are right, divorce rates are high.....men cheat, women cheat, it is like a game, but in reality, kids get hurt too.
I am not one of those women who totally have forgotten her role in the home. And I thank my husband for bringing me home from even a part-time job, so I can take care of the home and our sons. I think families who have the wife working while raising kids, husbands should do what it takes to bring her home where she belongs to take care of the kids and to take care of the home while the husband is at work. It would be so peaceful, rather than the chaos.

It`s not wrong to come home to all the things that you are asking, but at the same time ask yourself what you are doing around the house to help. It is not only up to a women to take care of everything, it is also the mans job.

i do no longer think of so, that's a alleviation from all the sport placed on for men. As one element to do with interest finishes, yet another starts. I might desire to placed up with the two soccer, Rugby, or The Olympics, and the different interest they slot in between, each and every weekend.

My house is grogeous and clean, I do all the laundry and cooking. I do the shopping and the bill paying. I do all that stuff...
Even when I work full time. Its just that many women in this generation came from working mothers and they didnt teach them how to do this type of work. I have many friends I know who have no clue how to do these duties... so they work a full time job to avoid it.

if you want my opnion, get off your butt, do your own laundry, cook your own food, wash your own dishes, clean your own house, run after the kids all day and take them to and from everywhere they need to go, buy groceries, put them away, do errands, pay bills and get dinner on the table at 6pm pipping hot. You do that and walk a day in our shoes than you will think twice the next time when you are thinking we are slacking off.
