You know that saying ‘the grass is always greener on the other side'?
Often I have seen women lamenting the fact their husband is an untrained domestic slob, who can't clean or cook. They can be seen looking into the distance dreaming of a day when their man will surprise them with a three course home cooked candlelit meal, or a lovely clean home, all done with his own fair hands.
Let me tell you ladies, you may feel like you have the short straw, but I can assure you that as nice as it is to have someone who can hold their own in the home it isn't all it's cracked up to be.
Having a man who can cook and clean is only a bonus if they actually do all the cooking and cleaning, but if for whatever reason the bulk of these chores fall to you, the result can be that your efforts are never quite up to their high standard. The doorframes will be checked with a silken glove for dust, and the food will be sampled mid cooking and instructions given throughout. The modern man just can't help but try to teach, judge and criticise. As time goes by, the ‘lucky' female can feel less and less adequate and the self-esteem drops lower and lower.
So what is it like living with a domestic slob? A man who can't operate the washing machine or cook a slice of toast? Assuming they are not taking your efforts for granted, they will often praise, compliment and visibly enjoy the meals you cook. They will be grateful for all the things you do that they cannot. They may refer to you to as a domestic Goddess due to your niftiness around the home.
Depending on your partner, you can be either a Domestic Goddess or a poor excuse for a housewife.
Which are you?
Meanwhile chaps, don't be thinking you can retire your aprons just yet! The ideal man is a man who is appreciative and willing to try!
