once lived in a household where we shared cooking, however, the bf and gf that were there always cooked really late, sometimes 1am, but the girl expected i cook no later than 7pm. so this didn't last very long
Yeah, skills and preferences are also important to consider when splitting up/sharing chores. For example, I’m really good at managing everyone else as they work. (Joking)
Dude, I think you should teach him to cook some basic meals. You won't always be there to babysit him unless you're a stay at home wife. Also cooking is sooooo easy, I don't understand how people can just say "I won't cook cause I can't do it". In my personal experience guys saying "I can't cook so I let my girlfriend/wife do it" are only making excuses because they enjoy laying on the couch as their wife does everything. But hey I don't know your situation at all, I can't judge you or your husband and I really don't want to sound hostile so basically, if you two have an agreement on this or you legitimately enjoy cooking and want to do it as much as you can, then all power to you. I just have some strong feelings on this because I don't want people to end up like my mom who's like a servant to my dad. She's not a stay at home wife either, she has a full time job with the same amount of hours as my dad but she also cleans, cooks and does everything around the house.
Sometimes it’s scary to try something you find intimidating because you don’t want to make mistakes. YouTube tutorials and learning from a friend/loved one can go a long way.
Not gonna lie, my cooking skills aren't great either. I can make a pretty decent meal when I follow a recipe but I can't improvise, I can't just take some stuff in my kitchen and whip up a meal. But following an easy recipe is just so trivial I find it hard to understand how anyone could get intimidated by it. Plus there are so many cooking videos out there that even if you were a total beginner and didn't even know how to boil eggs, you'd find a video about it.
My Hubby can cook enough to feed himself but he is not good at it. And I am a home maker. And we do have an agreement he does the working on computers and fixing the cars I do the cooking and cleaning. But he always helps me when I am sick or hurt. we share laundry and trash. He works and I tend to our daughter.
For cooking I much rather cook because if I don't I will have to answer tons of questions on how to do it lol and he wont let me show him he says he can do it lol
plus our daughter has health issues involving her food so I cooking is easier.
If you live there, household chores are half your job. You both cook, you both clean, you both fix things when they break, you both do shopping, you both take care of the kids/pets if there are any. Unless you've made a deal that one of you is the house-spouse, you're a damn grown up, figure out how the stove works.
