OK Go ahead and drool

Made the big breakfast this Am. Bacon, eggs and pancakes. Made mine with cinnamon. Satisfying. We may end up in a food coma. Just part of my plot really. Gotta get V4R to yake the last A/C out of the bedroom window before we get a cold snap tonight.

It's my sisters birthday, so Nukeman is making biscuits and gravy this morning.

A man who can make biscuits and gravy? Mrs. Nukeman obviously made a good catch. Does he do windows?

What's this fetish you have with men doing minimum wage tasks? I even cringe at women that earn six figures doing minimum wage tasks. You must really hate men! The only exception I can think of was my Dad who made his own sometimes because he thought my Mom was too "clean" to make REAL depression-era biscuits and gravy with bacon grease runoff mixed with sausage grease runoff and flour. I thought they both made good biscuits and gravy. But sometimes my Dad just had to have them vagrant-style.

My parents were funny that way. My Mom cringed at anything that reminded her of the depression, my Dad though of it as the "good old days".

My husband makes well in excess of six figures and he is not too proud to take out the garbage, pick up after himself and even clear off the table and help clean the kitchen. Then again, my husband did not obtain his spouse off a Brazilian "girls for sale" web site. Tailfins, you obviously have a screw loose to think like you do.

More than a few people here think you're missing most of your screws. If you want to call being focused having a screw loose, that's on you. This may surprise you, but some females aspire to be a housewife. They are the ones that don't bother studying in school. In Brazil, they are passed along with our equivalent of a "gentleman's D" grade. A "gentleman's D" is a gift to a friendly failing student if you're not familiar with the term.

He's pretty good in the kitchen, sadly he only does windows if I nag him lol.

A man cooking for his family isn't a "minimum wage job", it's called helping out around the house.

which is greatly appreciated by me and most other women.

Most women, even those making 6 figures, come home after work and do the dishes and wash the clothes. It's part of running a household. The same is true of men who come home and cut the grass. There is nothing degrading about it.

.

I call it fun, the boys and I like to cook breakfast on the weekend when and if we can find time now a days , it seems like we have to run here or there all the time but doing things together on a special day or even just a sit around and have fun kind of day is nice .

Right on. It take a misogynist to think that actually taking part in helping out in the house (for a man) is somehow below them. It is unfortunate that such dinosaurs still exist.

Interesting twist here. My father taught me some valuable lessons. He was raised as an old school kind of guy but I think, as for many of his generation, WWII was a game changer. He and my mother raised three girls. My mother was, from the beginning, a less than effective parent, for a variety of reasons I am still coming to terms with. He made sure we were self reliant. It was his belief that all kids should learn how to deal with life. We knew how to do cleaning, laundry, cooking as well as changing a tire, adding fluids to a car and doing simple household repairs. None of us is afraid to tackle a new task and we know how to research the best way to do it. Male or female you should never count on someone else to always do a task. You should be able to fix a meal, keep your place clean, your clothes mended and laundered. An extreme dichotomy in the allotment of household tasks is a recipe for disaster. If one partner becomes unable to perform their role, even temporarily, the other is at a complete loss. In our home, I make the majority of the money, due to the nature of a professional career. When I am home, as on vacation these two weeks, I delight in just doing the day to day stuff. When I am working all the time, it makes more sense for V4R to do at least some of the cooking and clean up. He often takes an evening and does the laundry. But when he is making stuff for his new ventures or gets called out for a good day's work, I know he can't do as much. The result is a flexible kind of sharing. It works for us.

It's beneath a woman as well if she earns six figures AND doesn't have elementary age or younger kids. Kids without a mom at home grow up to have a rough personality.

Help me to understand this magic dividing line of "six figures". Does it make more sense for someone who earns $90,000 to "help" with household chores? Should someone who is physically worn out because he has dug graves all day but makes only $25,000 per year, be expected to do more around the house? What about the man or woman who works two jobs to make ends meet, but doesn't earn all that much- should he or she help more than the six-figure coder?

I am always struck by the entire concept that someone who maintains their own home and lifestyle with their spouse is "helping". We both live in our home, we both benefit from it being clean and having meals, etc. My own six-figure husband feels much the same way WL describes above. And he would never claim special no-cleaning status because of the level of his earnings. Perhaps the difference is that for most of our married life, I've had a professional career of my own, so I know the stresses of a job, too. Btw, if my husband has to read up on the latest technology, of course he can. But he doesn't use that as an excuse to do nothing else at home.

I presume you can afford to hire help for those tasks. From your posts, I'll bet you're pretty darn close to six figures. It's a waste to dumb down your life doing those things yourself. You don't just "read up". You attend user group meetings, training sessions, build your network. You try to become as knowledgeable as possible. If you reach the point of diminishing returns in that area, then one can exercise to become physically fit and have more energy. One must stay the top of their game unless they want to fall behind the international competition. The wolf is at the door and poverty is closer than you think.

If someone is digging graves for $25K, they are in serious trouble and should figure away out of that trap.
