Why is it that when I tell people that I don’t cook they look at me as if I’ve sprouted a second head? I’m so sick and tired of the outdated roles that are still in place to this day.

My husband is great, he cooks for us with very little complaint, but sometimes when we are with friends he points out this “flaw” of mine. It gets under my skin like no other. Why am I slightly less of a woman and wife because I don’t cook? He knew from the start that this is who I am. Some people enjoy being in the kitchen, they love creating meals for their family; that’s just not me. Does it mean I love my family any less? Absolutely not.

When people hear about this they look at my husband like he lost a bet, they feel so badly for him. You poor man, you got a defected wife. What the heck is wrong with me?? I can think of many more things that would put someone high in the ranking for horrible wife, but not cooking ?? Really people, get over it.

Next time you meet someone that doesn’t fulfill their womanly or manly role, why don’t you take a step back and think of how completely stupid that line of thinking is. In a relationship each person brings their own special qualities to the table; love them, enjoy them, and embrace them. Do not hold your husband or wife to a set of standards that is so ridiculously outdated. You can’t ask for equality and respect, but still conform to standards that were upheld in 1952.
