I am the complete opposite and have hesitated to respond to this thread because of that. I cook and clean for my husband and son and love it. I would be lost if I could not care for them in this way. My husband goes out of town frequently and does not even pack his own bag. Everything is done for him.

My husband does not help with any housework but then again I am home all day whilst he is working. (Ok, I work from home but I still have hours to spare).

If we have people over and it is late, he will help me in the kitchen as he knows I just can't leave dishes for the next day.

I love my life and do housework every single day. It is often a real chore but I would not be happy if things were not the way I feel happy them being. If that makes sense.

Maybe this all works for me because I am truly doing it out of love. No other reason. I just love to care for my family and they (well, 12 year old son, maybe not) really do appreciate it.
