How many guys here are better at home stuff than their partner?

Cooking
Cleaning
Childcare (or pet care if any)


I feel modern men are way better than their counterparts because the partners also work and moan and complain they are too tired to do basic things when back home

I was so much better than my most serious ex at all of this. Add interior decorating to the list as well.

I once had a hot neighbor that was insecure about how good of a decorator I was.

Those aren’t the rooms of the house she needs to be great in.

I am far better at cooking.

I would say I'm better at laundry.

I'm terrible at cleaning.

My kids kind of take care of themselves as this age, when they were younger, my wife was far better than I was, mainly because she is more patient.

I think this is just a troll thread for you to say "partner" multiple times and get everyone riled up

I’m better at cooking than my wife.
She’s better at handling money.
She does the laundry
I do the floors.
She’s got a fat arse, makes bank and after 19 years still puts her mouth on it several times per week. Im pretty lucky.

I do all of the cooking, mainly because I enjoy cooking and my wife can't cook.

Cleaning is about equal. Except loading the dishwasher. It looks like my 9 month old loaded the dishwasher when my wife does it.

My husband is better at cooking, luckily because that’s what he’s paid to do, and using the weed whacker. But his cleaning and clean child care skills are mid. He can also thread a needle and sew a button on, but I’m better at that too.

Way better at cooking, which stems from her being the only one that could calm our son who had colic as an infant. He would not calm down for me when we put him to sleep at night, which lead me to take on all the cooking and I never gave up the reigns.

She's better at cleaning, I did enough of that crap in the military. I'm a great Dad, but she's better at childcare too. She's more patient and is great at nurturing.

Cooking? Definitely me. I grew up dirt poor. I can make anything taste good.

Cleaning? Both terrible. I pay someone.

Childcare? Her. Easily. I can always stop the crying with laughter, she stops it before it happens. She's a great mom.

Running the house? She couldn't pay a single bill if you offered her a million dollars. She has no idea what property upkeep costs. There's an amount she puts into the housing account monthly. That covers her half of the mortgage and maybe 1 trip to the grocery store.

The other day she decided to wash the front and back porch off 20 minutes after I sprayed for bugs and weeds.

One time she bought a pointless $60 bottle of mosquito poison. And got furious when I dumped the entire thing in a 2 gallon sprayer. She thought you used a capful in my 30 gallon sprayer. Why? Because thats how much termiticide she has seen me add.

Cooking is a draw. Cleaning and maintenance is all me. I have three girls so my wife beats me at child care.

I fully admit my partner is the domestic one in our relationship. He can cook better, clean better, and he does all the handyman stuff too.

But I work 60+ hours a week so it works for us.

My wife cooks, but doesn’t clean up after herself. So i do the greater majority of cleaning. It’s kind on infuriating that she won’t wipe up after herself when she spills things. Her parents ruined her.
