My grandfather after my grandmother developed dementia learned to do the cooking and the cleaning. So I believe strongly that it’s possible for the men to do the right then. I have many uncles of the greatest generation who also learned to help, so you can’t just say that’s an old fashioned idea. I think it comes down to if men are raised to respect others and taught by their parents to clean up after themselves. Unfortunately a lot of younger people aren’t being taught that.

Good for them! My husband is good, too, with chores. He even helped diaper our boys and he does some cooking now. I generally clean up after him and do lots of chores. He's gone back to school for his Ph.D., so he doesn't have as much time. And we do hire workers to help us with a lot of things, since we are both now disabled elderly folks. Thee are certainly men who will step up.
