Ladies, does your husband help out in the kitchen?

I was invited round to a friends over the weekend and her hubby was home. He was meant to be going out with the boys but they pulled out on him at the last minute. They are both friends of mine since before they got married.

Me and my friend were in the kitchen cooking and her hubby came in, she asked him to do something and he made his excuses and went in to the living room lol. She said he doesn’t help with anything in the kitchen - he won’t even take plates in to the dining room! :bummer:

I hope this isn’t the norm, as I will be making my husband help out around the house :halo:

Ladies does your hubby help in the kitchen if he is asked or not? Does he do any cooking of his own choice?

My husband is great with helping in the kitchen... he sets up our dinner table once in a while and washes dishes to help me out.. He is a great cook so every so often he even cooks for me :)

Re: Ladies, does your husband help out in the kitchen?

nope , not at all … infact as soon as I start cooking he not only shuts the kitchen door he goes to the top floor and shuts all the doors tight :hinna:

and then he’s the first one to arrive for food :emmy:

But then he does all the outdoor stuff , like grocery shopping :wub: and clears the bin every other day and finishes all the left overs in the fridge and organizes the fridge for me every now and then :@:

Nope!
He was a great helper before but over time I somehow spoiled him so now he just makes excuses...:--/ well these days he does helps me a little with cleaning(not in the kitchen still) since I'm pregnant...I'm after him to do more so he is prepared when the baby comes!

My husband helps around everywhere. In fact if I sat at home doing absolutely nothing, he will handle it all (maybe not with a happy heart be he will). Because I don’t work, there usually isn’t a need for him to spend too much time in the kitchen but he always picks up dinner plates, helps load the dishwasher if I’m feeding the kids or make Saturday morning breakfast, daily coffee is his department (I suck at that). He takes out the trash.

I don’t let him buy groceries though…he gets exotic stuff that no one knows how to use and he chooses the most expensive potatoes and onions :mad:.

yes in fact it’s more like he does the cooking while I do the helping part of it just because he loves to try new recipes.. well, we do everything together like grocery, cleaning, and even clotehs/shoes shopping. I am in desparate need of window shopping or a day at the mall trying on everything that I may or may not buy..however, he doesn’t like to do that :naraz:

Alhamdulillah for a husband who can pretty much do anything around the house. He helps me out a lot and being apart I thought he might have lost the habit but I’m so glad and happy that he still has it… we do everything together too, grocery, fruits and other stuff shopping… and usually when we have dinners at our place… he cleans the apt and I handle the kitchen and then he comes and cleans the kitchen final time while I get ready before the guests arrive…

I just think it is soooo imp for guys to help out around the house…makes life so much happier and peaceful :wub: and I am not a nagging wife :snooty:

Lol!

If I ask him he will help me out, not happily but he will…but since he works full time and I don’t, I don’t feel its necessary for him to do very much.

And anyways kitchen is my domain…I really wouldn’t like him or anyone else in there. My mess, I clean it up…i dont want anyone doing it.

So ladies, a question for those of you who do not work and get help from your husbands:

What else are you good for? I mean if you don't want to take care of the kitchen and house, what else can you do to prove your worth?

Re: Ladies, does your husband help out in the kitchen?

We can dance for our husbands :faizy:

13

I mean: to do something good or useful, not something that will make hubbys run out from the house :omg:

14

You’re too young to hear the answer :slight_smile:

A woman’s “worth” should not be tied into how spotless her kitchen is. :rolleyes:

Re: Ladies, does your husband help out in the kitchen?

I'm 30.

Come on! I need to know. It will help me understand if my future wife wants it.

16

That’s pretty useful. It brings world peace :@:

+1 :naak:

You just implied that most of the women here are worthless ; you really expect us to help you with anything?

If by age 30 you don't get what it means to respect a woman, you probably never will :)

19

I never meant to imply anything, it was a simple question.

And how does respect for women come into this? What do you know how I behave with women in real life?

It’s a simple question, why do you feel so offended? :teary1:

We shop till we drop, we eat doughnuts and best of all - we’re good at stirring daal :blush:
