re: Two income households and both work full time but the man comes home and expects dinner

This reads like an OWEO post. Which confuses me. Lucas P RIP.

Man who the frick are you trying to impress?

Sadly

My girl is in medical school. I work full time and cook breakfast and dinner about 75% of the time. I pack both our lunches and make both our coffees.

It's a fair trade off because she was doing this for a few months when they shut the school down in March. I'm glad to do it, though. My calling is to be a stay-at-home dad.

Yep that’s it in a nutshell, unfortunately some (mostly the guys, not all the time though) tend to forget that if they ever knew it to begin with. And there’s no one sized fits all I get that, some couples the lady cooks all the time and the husband does all the laundry. Or others just everyone attacks it all and works to get the job done. It’s just sad and trashy when one party consistently doesn’t pull their weight and worse when they use justification like "The Bible says she’s supposed to" as a way to be lazy and abusive.

I think having generations of progressively more single parent households is exacerbating the problem. Kids are growing up not seeing a functioning couple and so guys never see a male role model helping out the woman so don’t know how to behave in a functioning relationship.

I’d have a butler IF I could find one.

She will meet a guy at work or at one of the kids’ sports practices eventually.

If both spouses work full time, but the husband doesn't do any cooking/cleaning, or spending time with the kids. He is a terrible husband and a terrible man.
