Make me a Sandwich, woman.
Make it Yourself!
Ok, so many of you girls do work, and you plan on working after marriage, or you already are.
So this is a pretty pertinent topic.
To the GS Men: How many of you are ok with cooking your own meals if your wife is working and she doesn’t have time to make you meals (sometimes, often, all the time, whatever).
I think this is one of the biggest challenges for desi men. Getting off their duff and doing it themselves.
Re: Make Your Own Sandwich
hunh, you dont have any brothers?
kher, as long as men appreciate it, i dont mind making sandwiches, rotiz, biryani waghera.
ps. ok, i love to try out new recipes. so 
Re: Make Your Own Sandwich
ROFL, Why do men marry in the first place? They need to be taken care of!
Re: Make Your Own Sandwich
I’m sure there are men who also like to try out new recipes, considering how overweight so many desi boys are. 
No, I don’t have brothers. Even my male cousins don’t ask them to get them a cup of water, because they know what they’re gonna get.

Re: Make Your Own Sandwich
I like my cooking anyways . 
This is the time that both man and women should start sharing responsibilities equally i.e. cooking , cleaning , working , children etc . I call it Marriage 2.0 
Re: Make Your Own Sandwich
Since my husband has 20 times tougher job than mine, I wouldn't mind pampering him and cooking for him. I honestly don't want to see him come home tired at random times and have to work around the house too.
To make it easier for myself, I think I'll cook large quantities at once and freeze it for him to eat whenever.. hum dono khush.
Re: Make Your Own Sandwich
Pareezay, do you work, and if you do, how demanding is your job? I'm talking about women who probably are in your husband's shoes.
How do men react ot that? Would they be as accomodating as you are for your husband?
Re: Make Your Own Sandwich
PCG, I work and even though it is a demanding/stressful career, it's a set 9-5 one. When I come home, I can kick back and do my own thing. Add to that, there's no pressure from hubby for me to work. He on the other hand is in the medical profession and there's no such thing as set hours for him. He can be expected to work upto 32 hours at a time, end shift in the middle of night/random times, be responsible for patients, and even when at home, have a pager on him and study. Now after seeing him spend years in school and then with a job like that, I would hate to see him come home and take care of chores as well. I know that if I ever ask him, he won't say no but as a wife, I would want to make his home life comfortable and peaceful. He's working hard to give both of us a good life, the least I can do is provide him good food everyday.
Re: Make Your Own Sandwich
i cook often for myself, wit both of us working and kids activities begum is busy too, and we are very very laid back about this stuff, and sandwich schmandwich, i make some mean fish, she cant eat fish so I dont ask her to even make it, and can whip upo amazing salmon, red snapper or trout..my current 3 favs within 20 mins..as far as cooking for both of us goes, it varies by who is how busy or tired, same for kids stuff. dont really see what the issue is.
Re: Make Your Own Sandwich
PCG, the guys who have that kind of attitude are probably mostly the guys wo live over there or have not lived in the west very long. The eastern way can actually be pretty nice - the guys work and earn the income, the houses are very large and the wife gets household help. So the guys can be pampered a bit.
In the west, this just doesnt happen for many of us. The pace of life is crazy here, there is no household help, no extended family to share with.
So living in the west, it becomes necessary for husband to pitch in, like it or not. My husband is actually a very good cook. But I had a long term guest once who sauntered into the den where I was folding laundry. Asked me to make him a sandwich and then stood in the kitchen and watched me make it!! I was appalled. So I know what you're talking about. It just comes down to what the guys were exposed to, how and where they were raised and what their women are allowing them to get away with.

Re: Make Your Own Sandwich
I do it … I make a meal for whole family whenever I can ..even if wife is staying home and I dont find it less manly by any mean.
For last couple of years I was working form home office and my wife was volunteering so I was the one doing most of the cooking except for weekends and occasional weekdays. Even now when I am working at a client site and my wife is staying home, I help her whenever I can.
… oh and did I mention that when I was working from home, I used to pack her “lunch box”? 
but than gradually she started to mention many young guys (her clients) in her discussions over dinner and I became reviatee shoher “koi zaroat nahee muft main kaam kerney kee …ghar main baithoo” 
Re: Make Your Own Sandwich
my husband works, and sometimes if he thinks im tired or whatever, he will help me even though he works hard and i dnt work. he still helps me alot. and im happy to make it for him.
Re: Make Your Own Sandwich
ppl and their assumptions 
I know a lot of guys as well as myself who can and do cook for themselves as well as family, the whole point of marriage is sharing responsibility and supporting each other.
Re: Make Your Own Sandwich
Naturally ..its just the nature of a woman that she cooks for her husband ...
so what the hell .. if your wife got ill .. does that mean your gonna starve yourself .. hell noo.. so if naturallly she cooks for you ..all the time .. why cant you ..do something in returnn ..
as to answer the thread .. yehh i wud .. if am lazy and dont do anything ..and sit home all dayy while the mrz is out working and end of the day .. you tell her to do something .. she has full right to say DIY .. but say we re both working .. and end of the day .. i see that she feels more tired than me or busy in her own work .. and i need something .. then i d do it .. but like i mentioned early ..if teh wife feels or senses that i gota eat , and he looks alot tired than me ... she automatically make something .. bt to order her to do something aint right ..
my 2 cent :)

I can make my own meals. I haven't had a chance to make a sandwich for myself in years now though. Even if I start, most of the time I get kicked out of the kitchen and my wife makes it for me. Otherwise, I ready to cook when needed.
Re: Make Your Own Sandwich
Takeout yaar. Save bijli, gas, paani, grocery bill and time, no need to clean the kitchen.... problem solved.
Re: Make Your Own Sandwich
i would lurve for him to make me a sandwich, but if it turns out he's a crap cook, then i'm making that damn sandwich myself. i love my food and i want it good.
he can do the dishes and clean up after me.
