Women - do you cook as well as your mother/mother-in-law ... did they cook as well as their mothers? ...or course not...

Don't take this the wrong way, but I think once women were allowed this whole 'equal rights thing' it signaled the downfall of our civilization. Higher divorce rates, higher teenage pregancies, obesity (since we have to eat out more), the ozone layer (that may be a stretch), etc. Let's get America back on track and the women back into the kitchen where they belong!

I think a woman, just like any other person, should put herself first before they even decide to have a child. Then, after the child is born, both the mother and the father should put the child first.

Oh, and as for myself, I belong wherever I want to be.

Why should a woman automatically be the one to put children and family first? Why not the father?

what do you tell a woman with 2 black eyes?
nothing, you've already told her twice (yes, I do apologize to those that this really offends, it is a joke. I do not take offense at the fat jokes in the other threads)

how do you open a beer?
it should be open when she brings it to you.

why does a bride wear white?

Im old fashioned too. I think MOMS should stay home if at all possible. Of course, thats if its what is best for the family.... My DD is going to start kindergarten in the fall and I think I might work for awhile, even though DS is only 2 1/2. Im starting to go crazy at home... and am becoming addicted to the internet again!!!!

If mom wants to work, and dad is ok with it, and the kids aren't suffering, then why shouldn't mom work???

BUT, all that said, Im a big believer in the wife submitting to her husband as said in the Bible, so..... if he wants her home and she wants to follow the submissive beliefs, then she should stay home. I stay home and cook, clean, keep the kids, shop for deals, laundry, etc. He works a LOT and takes care of everything on the outside of the home... Unless he is out of town on Trashday Eve, then I have to take the trash out too... Hmmm, hes been out of town a lot Thurs nights.... HMMMMM, never paid attention and noticed that!!!! I think he's trying to get out of taking the trash out!!! LOL JK

If my hubby had a normal job and was home the same time every day, then I would have dinner on the table waiting for him when he got home... well, really when he came downstairs from changing his clothes, his daily bathroom routine, putting away his work stuff... lol 15 minutes after he gets home!!!

If he'll be home after we eat, I just prep his dinner. I dont cook it until he calls and says he is about 1/2 hour away. He doesnt know I do it special so its hot for him like that, but its just my little way of saying I love you and I dont want you to eat warmed up dinner vs fresh out of the oven dinner.

mr. val738 = lucky man. my wife does the same for me. it's actually rare that we all eat together, bc she usually needs to have the kids fed before i get home so they can go to bed shortly after.

I do, yes. But if financial reasons call where I have to work, I am more then willing. But even if I work, i still do the housework and childcare. Why? because it's a woman's job. I don't mow the lawn...man's job. house work...woman's job.

I don't think they should always work. If a couple has kids, and the dad wants to stay at home, he should stay at home if it's financially feasible. And if a woman wants to stay at home, she should if it's financially feasible. It's something a couple should work out for themselves.

I do, yes. But if financial reasons call where I have to work, I am more then willing. But even if I work, i still do the housework and childcare. Why? because it's a woman's job. I don't mow the lawn...man's job. house work...woman's job.

And then who would be responsible for household stuff? Would you share the work if you both worked, or would it still be all your responsibility?

FairyTaleMom--- I 100% TOTALLY agree that men should ALWAYS work.

Sometimes Dad is the better and more competent parent, so if he wants to stay home, then he should, vs Mom staying home, I suppose.

It drives me CRAZY when I hear guys (or their wives) say that they cannot find a job "ANYWHERE"...... ERRRRR I would expect my DH to work at McDonalds if he HAD to, just to bring home money, until he found something better!!!!! "Can't find a job anywhere",..... Yeah, youre not looking hard enough, if at all!!!!

If we both worked equal hours, I would expect him to take over SOME of the chores, but he will ALWAYS ALWAYS work more hours than I will, so I will for the most part, do more chores. But then again.... we have two kids, so they will start getting handed more chores that they can handle too!!!!!!

You have just been elevated several levels in my happy friend list. :heart:

My husband works just about every day. One or two days off here and there, but for the most part he's at work from 9-7 M-F and 8-2 S/S Sometimes he has to go back on the weekends in the evenings to care for the animals boarding over the weekend. On those rare days off he's ready to poke his eyes out at the end of the day because the boys keep us soooo busy. Just last weekend he got to experience my oldest son's new hobby - removing his diaper at naptime and decorating his room. :vomit:

Do I keep the house clean? As clean as I can with a 2 1/2 yr old and a 7 month old to raise. I don't want my son to remember his childhood of me saying "No I can't play with you baby, I have to mop this floor until it sparkles."

Do I cook? Damn skippy. (note to FTM - also on my happy friend list - "Don't Panic! Dinner's in the Freezer!" is a fantastic book!)

Do I have awesome kids? You betcha.

Does my husband help out at home? If he wants any r&r time with me, he does. :wink:

And let it be known that the term "Trashday Eve" will now be in use in my house, too. :lol:

I think the woman's place is in the home, if at all possible. Sometimes financially that doesn't work for a family. You do what you can and love your kids to bits no matter what.

Do I cook? Damn skippy. (note to FTM - also on my happy friend list - "Don't Panic! Dinner's in the Freezer!" is a fantastic book!)

Do I have awesome kids? You betcha.

Does my husband help out at home? If he wants any r&r time with me, he does. :wink:

And let it be known that the term "Trashday Eve" will now be in use in my house, too. :lol:

I think the woman's place is in the home, if at all possible. Sometimes financially that doesn't work for a family. You do what you can and love your kids to bits no matter what.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I think once women were allowed this whole 'equal rights thing' it signaled the downfall of our civilization. Higher divorce rates, higher teenage pregancies, obesity (since we have to eat out more), the ozone layer (that may be a stretch), etc. Let's get America back on track and the women back into the kitchen where they belong!

You have just been elevated several levels in my happy friend list. :heart:

My husband works just about every day. One or two days off here and there, but for the most part he's at work from 9-7 M-F and 8-2 S/S Sometimes he has to go back on the weekends in the evenings to care for the animals boarding over the weekend. On those rare days off he's ready to poke his eyes out at the end of the day because the boys keep us soooo busy. Just last weekend he got to experience my oldest son's new hobby - removing his diaper at naptime and decorating his room. :vomit:

I think it's more a question of, "what's best for the family." You don't EVER hear men whining about having to work to support a family. That is an absolute given and if a guy DOES complain about it, he will get NO sympathy from ANYONE, period. Now, women are starting to complain about housework, and they get TONS of sympathy....doesn't make sense. Just a double standard, I guess.

Maybe that has something to do with the fact that men who work have many options open to them, while women who think it's their duty to stay at home have ONE option. Housewife. That doesn't sound very appealing to me.

I have a tiny freezer too - the one that's on the fridge. That's it. The beauty of this cookbook is that the recipes are set up with cooking instructions for x3, x6 and x9 batches. Everything freezes flat in gallon bags, so it fits great in your freezer. I'm not storing frozen chicken I'll never eat anymore - I'm storing yummy meals that are a snap to finish preparing.

I do 2 or 3 recipes x3 in a morning and have enough to eat for 2 weeks. If I do this once every week or so, I have a pretty good rotation going. I freeze some in smaller portions for my FIL, as he lives alone and doesn't cook for himself. This way I can pretend he's eating something other than Hooters Wings all the time. :rolleyes:

Seriously - it's $9.74 on Amazon. Check it out.

Don't Panic -Dinner's in the Freezer (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0800730550/sr=8-3/qid=1149120294/ref=pd_bbs_3/104-0721850-5559125?%5Fencoding=UTF8)

I've made most of the freezable recipes in it, and haven't come up with anything yucky yet. Some stuff I wouldn't crave daily, but nothing bad at all. I've bought 3 copies for gifts so far - it's that good. Every new bride gets one of these from me from now on. :nod: It's cut my dinner time stress level down sooo much. We're eating healthier, there's minimal clean up and it's good food!

Nah, not the hippies' fault (hat tip biker eric). it started in the garden. eve disobeyed while adam watched (he didn't exercise leadership, nor did he seek to serve and protect his bride). from then on, there has been a contention for power in every marriage, be it small or large.

my constant temptation in my marriage is to be lazy and not to truly know, serve, and protect my wife. i would say my wife's constant temptation would be to lead in everything, and give me no say. it has the potential to be a vicious circle, but we are both aware of these temptations, and we both fight them daily.

I could not have said it better in a poll myself. Stupid double-standards. Men have to give, give, give, and all we ask for is a warm meal, a clean house, take care of the kids, oral treats when we greet our women at the door or leave to go to the mailbox or check the weather outside, unlimited access to 'playtime', and cold beer in the fridge.

The joy of staying home. Why do I choose to stay home? Because I get to see the moments that I will never see again. Their first step, first word, first homework assignment. I get to be there to talk with them about what happened at school that day and they won't feel like I still have work on my mind. I get to be there for EVERY booboo, EVERY bully. I will always be there. why? because I chose to be a MOM above all other things. Sure once they are off to school I will get a part time job while they're at school. And once they are off to college I will have plenty of time to do whatever I want...be it go back to school or work. My younger son will go off to college when I am 38. Even if I was 50, I would still do the same. Why? because my kids come first. Always. this is what is best for them. To have mom there to support them and to show them that they have a strong foundation.
Why have kids to have someone else raise them in a daycare? They are my kids. I run a home daycare because I feel sorry for the other kids that do not have parents like that. And because it's a job that I can work from home, and still put my kids first. If I couldn't do that, I wouldn't be doing it.
My reward? When they are grown and gone, I can look back on all the sweet things of every day. Getting to see my son's first kiss(yes I saw it!!! LOL. I will forever have it to blackmail him with) to being the one to help him ride his bike for the first time, be the one to teach him ALL he knows. To see him grow inside....it's just magical. You just don't know. Will I regret staying home and not having a job outside the house? Nope. There are always sacrafices to having kids. I gave up the more money to be able to have my kids happy and well taken care of.
But yet again, I have a job. I am a mom. That, in itself, is a job. I wouldn't have it any other way. :shake:

I have always worked outside the home, and that makes me no less of a parent. Before my kids were in school full time, I worked part time, so that I could be there for them. When they started school, I went back to full time. Working and having a career makes me a whole person. You need to be that in order to be the best you can be for your children. It also sets examples for them that you can do whatever you set your mind to doing. I never miss a thing with my kids, cuz we have the kind of relationships where we communicate. If I missed something, they share it with me. They wouldn't want me to miss anything either. I think it is great that you stay at home, but remember that this is your life too, and if that is how you want to spend it, that is your choice. I chose to have a life for myself as well. For the record, my kids have never been to a daycare or sitter, I do not believe in that. But I do believe in having a fulfilling life for myself as well.:heart:

Prep time is VERY fast. For the chicken stuff, at least. You don't have to cook the chicken, you're just preparing it to the point of cooking. Some of the dishes you have to cook, but if you spend an hour cooking 3 meals it works out, you know?

I am a food snob. I will not eat mediocre food. This stuff isn't magical, but it's not bad. It's new flavors - not a single can of cream of mushroom to be found! LOL I honestly have enjoyed every recipe. (If you PM me I could be persuaded to PM you back a few recipes to try.)

I think it's more a question of, "what's best for the family." You don't EVER hear men whining about having to work to support a family. That is an absolute given and if a guy DOES complain about it, he will get NO sympathy from ANYONE, period. Now, women are starting to complain about housework, and they get TONS of sympathy....doesn't make sense. Just a double standard, I guess.

Good point!

There is no reason why a woman couldn't work outside the home while the man is off working as long as all of her other chores are done......i.e. laundry, vacumming, cleaning & sammich making, etc.

Women often rely on men when it comes to electronics/tools. Therefore, it should be fair that men rely on women when it comes to kitchen/foods.

Higher divorce rates, higher teenage pregancies, obesity (since we have to eat out more), the ozone layer (that may be a stretch), etc. Let's get America back on track and the women back into the kitchen where they belong!

BUT, all that said, Im a big believer in the wife submitting to her husband as said in the Bible, so..... if he wants her home and she wants to follow the submissive beliefs, then she should stay home. I stay home and cook, clean, keep the kids, shop for deals, laundry, etc. He works a LOT and takes care of everything on the outside of the home... Unless he is out of town on Trashday Eve, then I have to take the trash out too... Hmmm, hes been out of town a lot Thurs nights.... HMMMMM, never paid attention and noticed that!!!! I think he's trying to get out of taking the trash out!!! LOL JK

If he'll be home after we eat, I just prep his dinner. I dont cook it until he calls and says he is about 1/2 hour away. He doesnt know I do it special so its hot for him like that, but its just my little way of saying I love you and I dont want you to eat warmed up dinner vs fresh out of the oven dinner.

Seriously, you are a great wife. I hope he appreciates you. That's so nice to cook his dinner like that instead of forcing him to microwave his own dinner when he comes home late while you watch TV. That's what most men have to deal with.

Do you see any appeal in having to stay at home for, basically, your whole life?

Hell yeah, that sounds very appealing. I'd love to spend all day with my kids instead of only getting 1-2 hours/day with them and spending about 10-12 hours/day (plus some weekends) at the office. Changing diapers, cleaning,etc sounds wonderful compared to dealing with the coorporate world.

Don't take this as an insult, but you are probably either very young or haven't been in the coorporate jungle for very long. I know quite a few women (and guys) that jumped at the chance to abandon their careers and stay home all day, and they are much happier.
