my husband says that a woman's place is in the home specificaly the kitchen?

Question

what do you think help

Answer 1

I think your husband is a chauvinistic pig and needs to wake up and get over himself!!!

Answer 2

help? Like is he strapping you down to the kitchen sink or something? Well do your work at the kitchen and move around doing other stuff. Soon he'll notice you've got a good hand and not only at cooking. I think a woman is more naturally equipped to look after kids and take care of the home, but i'd let my wife venture out wherever she desires... and agree to cook some days while she is busy. You should talk this over with your husband. But if you are jobless, then you'd rather give your best shot at the kitchen, and do a good job at home. If however you want to look for a job, give him reasons for you to do so and for him to give you a chance. Well... above all... GOOD LCUK!

Answer 3

my husband is exactly the same, but i play to his words, i cook, but hes gotta clean and put away. my strategy is that i absolutely love cooking and hate cleaning, so , i do what i love and he what he hates, and at the end of the day he really thinks that he has won and feels really manly, but I know that its not true. however, people like that are so old fashioned, and should really think twice , because it is the 21st century. on your case I would tell him where his place is...to have a job and bring decent money home and if he is not doing that then it is not your responsibility to be in the kitchen, you are husband and wife not queen and slave, you are supposed to share everything not just the good stuff but the bad and the chores in the household. I think that when people get married should be able to write their vows such as, I will not treat you as my cook, my cleaner, my this, my that, but as my companion to share the good and bad stuff... all i believe is that when men marry they see women in a different perspective and begin to treat women like their mothers... nothing new!! just try a strategy to share the chores in the household, you dont belong in the kitchen, after all most of the best chefs in the country are men!!! any excuse to make him do it, he may even like it!!
good luck.

Answer 4

You are not fooling anyone with half a brain, which excludes 90% of the people who have already answered. Your question was designed to be inflamatory, you did not say if you work, if he works , does he help out in other areas of house work. I love to cook, so most of the time I cook, I do laundry when it needs to be done, I clean and give my wife a full body massage when ever she wants one,some times I will go down on her for no other reason than to watch her eyes roll back in her head, but I demand the same respect in return. If he does everything except cook then he is right, your place is in the kitchen, if he sits on his azz and does nothing then you shouldn't have stayed married to him long enough to even ask this question.

Answer 5

Oh lordy lordy what an old fashioned idea! does he in return for this, do all the heavy lifting, carry the shopping, provide all the money, do the garden, fix everything around the house, take over the discipline of the kids, investigate bumps in the night, and give you a darn good rodgering every week like a real man should? I bet not. Rebel, my dear.

Answer 6

This guy is a male chauvinist pig, as a man I totally disagree with his attitude.
Whenever I am with my young lady we do everything together including cooking and cleaning.
When we aren't together obviously I have to do it myself.
I think he is a right idiot personally, and before certain members of the male gender start, no I am not under the thumb just have more respect for women than those chauvinistic pigs.
Try talking to him although I don't think you will change his attitude, but I will wish you good luck.

Answer 7

I think he can have his opinion - doesn't mean you have to agree with it, or do it.

He must be older, most men these days know that most women don't cook. And let me tell you, if my husband said that my place was in the kitchen, his bed would be the couch!

Tell your husband to grow up and cook his own damn dinner, and while he's at it he can make something for you, too!! :)

Answer 8

Funny, I didn't know that cavemen were still around. Your husband needs to crawl out from under his rock and into the 21st century! A woman's place is wherever she wants to be. If being a housewife makes you happy, then go for it....but by no means should he force you to do anything.

Answer 9

What's important is how you feel about being a housewife. Lot's of women (and some men) would love to stay at home and care for the house and family. However, many prefer to have a job that takes them outside the home. As long as you are able to make that choice, your husband is free to hold this archaic opinion.

Answer 10

The idea is very good in theory, but you both have to start and finish work at the same time. So you work in the home he works wherever. So before either of you starts work you take it in turns to prepare the breakfast. After work you both take it in turns to wash up, and do other things ready for the next day,etc. Fairs fair. No him watching tele while you carry on working.

Answer 11

I don't agree, as long as I'm making contributions to the family income.
Now, if he could afford to maintain a specific lifestyle for both of us on his income alone so I wouldn't have to work?...then yeah...I'd been in there cooking dinner, take most if not all of the day to day chores. This means I still get to buy my things...such as pedicures and the occasional new outfit or shoes. If he can't maintain our lifestyle then no way.
