I like home cooked meals so I cook, I also do have OCD so I don't even like the idea of someone else cleaning that isn't me. I don't care if I worked 16 hours, I will come home and make a damn meal and clean up. The thought of being in a house that aint clean with no real food is uncomfortable to me.

Frozen dinners.

I'd also rather handle my own food and make then trust it to some strangers. Even my man. Also, when you love someone you just wanna make them feel good. Food makes you feel good. He does the same thing for me. You can't just expect a woman to cook all the time, without him doing the same too sometimes, that shyt will create resentment.
I also want a whole bunch of kids like little ducklings all born around the same time, so I can have a full house, and just teach them nurturing things a mother would. I remember being in a full house, with all 9 brothers, and I was the baby and everyone was just excited to finally have a girl. My step mother and father would be cooking in the kitchen, and my brothers would play with me outside in the back yard, and I just had such a fulfilling childhood. For the first few years of my life I just remember their being joy and happiness in my family, between my father, his exes, and my mother. What I appreciated is that my mother, although she was a horrible cook, she always made home cooked meals for me and never ever let me have processed crap. Everything had to be freshly made. That gave me the good eating habits I have today. My father would step in a lot since he was a really good cook (he was from the South) though. But my mother didn't really work and tended to the home until I went to head start. But she was always there and so was pops. I really would like to do the same thing. Maybe work at home. But I like motherly stuff. To me there are no set gender roles, whatever you are comfortable with just go with.
As for bringing in 50% of the income and being expected to do that is kind of ridiculous. If a man makes enough money to rely on one income for the household then I understand. But no, you can't have it both ways because like I said it will breed resentment. And in this day and age you cannot afford to be out of work as a woman for a very long time. I have a Masters, hopefully a phD in the future, I would not be comfortable not working. Even working per diem just to still be in the industry is fine. You even have the luxury these days of working from home.
