Beautiful question and this points to just a situation between a house wife and the working husband. No responsible house wife would stay home all day and let her husband work all day and come back and cook. In this case there’s an understanding here and shared roles.
Have you considered a situation where both husbands and wife are working class people. Both come back late tired or even a situation where the husbands comes in earlier than the wife. Would he wait and do nothing until his wife’s comes back to fix food for both of them? Can’t he fix something for themselves or they can both look for an alternative because both are tired from the days work. What if there’s food in the freezer, can’t he warm the food and eat or would he wait until the wife comes back to fix food for them to eat because she’s a woman and she belongs to the kitchen no matter what.
I had a friend of mine who was working full time and her husband had a flexible job but stays home most times. He had this mentality that women belonged to the kitchen. He stays home all day and the wife comes back from work, goes to the market, and when she comes home. She starts cooking and the man never came to even assist all in the name of kitchen is for the woman. If you were in her shoes how would you feel? Well that singular act of insensitivity put a whole lot of strain on the marriage as so it would if it was vice-versa.
That’s why I said love and understanding can twerk these things and we don’t live by stereotypes.
I sensed the wisdom in your words... I also made mention of this that, this should not be expected if the woman is working and providing too...
If it is that case, I agree with you... If a man allows his wife to work, then he should be ready to help at home too...
