Traditional Male-Female Roles

Re: Traditional Male-Female Roles

Not a new topic, but maybe a different way to discuss it:

Ladies: would you NOT want to cook and clean and make your house a home for your husband and children?

Men: would you NOT want to go out and make a living for your wife and children and be responsible for providing food and shelter for the family?

Despite how enlightened and advanced we are as a society and how blurry traditional roles have become, I personally hold with the traditional division of labour, albeit with compromises on both sides and each partner helping the other out where and how needed. Does that make me backwards or too traditional?

I don’t have anything against cooking and cleaning, but I wouldn’t want them to become solely my responsibility.

However, the way I have grown up, I am afraid, I will end up becoming one of those women who take those chores on, partly because I’d be better at it than my SO. I will regret doing that, so I have to be conscious of it. Luckily, SO has nothing against cooking and cleaning.
