there are families where husband does all the cooking or wife who does it all, or sharing of. what's your cooking situation and should your situation stay the same or change?

It depends on how many hours each is working outside the home. If one works at home, they should put the crock pot on every day of the workweek. It is not fair for one spouse to work away from the house and come home and work, too, if the other spouse is not employed.

My husband is from india and his friend's wife came over about a year ago. She doesn't like it bc she has to work here and she didn't there. I suppose it would be hard to start to work if your not used to it and then you suddenly have to do household chores like cooking that you didn't have to do in India. I think it would hard.

I just went to a "surprise" housewarming party.  The couple with the new house were taken out for a few hours by other friends and we all met there in time for there return.  We all brought a gift-food dish and beverage all to share.  The couple was ecstatic--everything was great and with all of us chipping in there were plenty of food gifts and drinks.  The couples family set up a treasure hunt for them too--it was fun to watch.  Also if you can get into the house without your sister you can plan a trivia for the guest. Ask quesions like "how many  electrical outlets are in the house?" or " What brand refrigerator do they have?".  Maybe supply little gifts like candles and suchfo the winners.  Don't stress too much chances are pelple will enjoy being in eachothers company and making new memories in the new home.  (Note: Disposable cameras!!)

I am mother, daughter, sister, teacher, cook, gardener, etc. depending on place, situation, and who I'm dealing with.  But it's all still ME! Just different aspects.  I believe the Creator works the same way. One Creator, many aspects.

Sometimes a person has to do what they have to do.  I get real tired of it, too.  In the end, does it really matter?  If you don't you KNOW you will get blamed.  Is it worth that?  How about an ultimatum?  It;s someone else's turn this year!  It has never worked for me especially with my husbands whack-o family.

I like everything in its place.  The kitchen cupboards are organized and tupperware is used for everything from flour to sugar as I bake daily.  Even cleaning is done everyday as I am one of those people who would hate to have someone come to my door and think I was messy.  My husband thinks its wonderful to have a clean home but I do too much...  I don't agree for if I didn't do it as I do, it wouldn't look or smell this good lol

I have these things but they are not mine. I have a wife and three kids. We cannot afford to live on our own so we have been living with my in-laws. The reason I choose to live with them is so my wife can be at home with the kids until they get older. We still struggle to pay the bills we have like: student loans, health insurance, gas, etc. We are rich in love not material things.

It depends on how close the couple is...I would take it to the heart in my case but that is because my boyfriend and I consider each other family and his family is my family and my family is his family...the point is, we are all very close so yeah, if he said that it would hurt me.  We are having 2 thanksgivings this year, we are not cooking at our house but my side of the family is having turkey dinner around 4 or 5 and his side of the family is having it around 8...so we are going to starve all day and eat at both families houses.  A little off the subject but all the talk of thanksgiving got me thinking about it, sorry.

I love cooking! \nI have been cooking fo rthe past 9 years and its been absolute fun all this time. Its a great de-stressor for me. \n\nI like to cook American, Italian and Indian dishes. 2 of my favourites would be pasta with meatballs in tomato sauce, simple and great tasting! & Butter chicken with Naan. wow!

They need to save up enough money to get their own place. \nI had a mother-in-law that did the same. But she changed when she realized i really wasn't the person she wanted me to be. \nYour friend should not get upset with his wife because she doesn't eat for goodness sake if she can't eat pepper. And her husband needs to start taking up for her. I know you are supposed to honor thy mother & they father...but you are also supposed to due unto others as you have them do unto you.

We do.  My husband and I like to have a quiet, formal dinner at least once a week.  I feel that it's important to use the beautiful things we have and enjoy, rather than putting them away and only bringing them out for formal occasions.  Life is short.  Let's enjoy it now, while we can.

We're Muslim and we celebrate Thanksgiving. It's not a religious Holiday, but if he doesn't want to celebrate, I doubt it matters what you cook. If it's more that he just doesn't care for Turkey, you could try to cook a traditional Pakistani dish, I don't know of any but you could find out from him, or one of his family members. My husband Is Persian, and he likes Turkey, but his family is indifferent, They'll eat it but it's not there favorite, so I try to include a few Persian dishes to make them more comfortable... In General Men don't "Celebrate" Thanksgiving, they eat and watch TV, so If he seems uninterested I doubt it's cause he's Muslim...

one night you should tell him to take it easy, and you should cook like your favorite meal, and then pop the question.....make it a speech tell him "He's my homemaker, housewife and my everything when I get home from a long day of work. I manage a large portion of a company and have just recently been too sick to function. He has nursed me and been by my side the entire time, never leaving me for more than a few minutes at a time (he has to shower and go to the bathroom afterall.) We're a solid foundation together, and now that I'm feeling better (and I have a ring).. I want to do it." its very much from the heart i can tell, good luck sweety with everything and congrats on the baby!!

taking care of a family is a full time job in itself.  a marriage is  an equal partnership.  If both people work then both split the household responsibility.  Either way both partners should have a say in the money. Your full time job is your family. if you were working outside of the home he would need to help you with the household stuff.  Equal partnership.

the microwave--stupid as this sounds-it has changes everything about the way we eat and shop and family relations. sure it is great-especially since there are so many families with both parents  working. Gone are the days of shopping for fresh produce ect..no more butcher shops-we eat more unhealthy processed foods because it is easier to just pop a complete meal in the microwave. Everyone tends to eat on the run now--mom (or dad) no longer spend time in the kitchen preparing and cooking from scratch.We also don't sit down everynight at the dinner table together as a family-hence less communication between us all. A lot is lost in losing that experience EVERYDAY....now some families still sit down together everyday and the other things as well--but if you ever did a survey you would find they are far and few--everyone is too busy--and that little microwave as much as I love it has taken alot away from us.....
