In the traditional sense of the term "wife" yes, he is. He's so good at housework and dealing with our lo and he is so organized. I'm the haphazard husband in our relationship.

In the stereotypical sense, I am the better wife! My DH always cuts corners while doing housework and in general he's not good at those types of jobs.
-
Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!
No.
-
Bahahahahahahhahahahahahaha!!!
-
Hmm... I am still the better wife. DH is far superior in cooking, but I can clean and organize and I would have more patience w/ our kids.
-
Sometimes, yes. He's better with housework and sometimes cooking if I'm going through an I hate cooking phase. But not in terms of dealing with Liam. I am way more patient with him.
-
Only at cooking. I am still better at cleaning and laundry, although he gets chores done in a more timely matter than I do.
-
Ah, as for patience, I do have that over him. He's good at making sure she stays on her schedule, though.
-
haha no, I think that although he helps with cleaning and parenting, the cleaning/patiences/majority is left up to me. I do make him help me clean though so I don't get stuck doing it all. He does good, but he is very slow
HA
-
I suppose in some ways. We went to a marriage conference not long ago and it was funny when they were talking about differences between males and females, and I identified more with the male personality traits! One that stuck out was that DH thinks and processes things out loud, and likes to talk/discuss. Although I am a conversationalist - I like to process quietly, and think to myself before opening up. They said that processing quietly is more a male trait and thinking out loud is more female.
That's just one, but there are more ways too.
In terms of stereotypical "roles", he is better at keeping house and even doing one-on-one play with J. Oh and he makes dinner more than I do since I started school.
-
100% NO.
-
I think he is more nurturing than I am. Some might say that makes him a better wife.
-
In the traditional sense, no way! He doesn't cook, do laundry, and isn't much of a cleaner either. He always helps if I ask though. I joke with him that he purposely does things poorly so I don't ask him to do them again.
-
omg yes. I'm the WORST house wife ever. My husband is seriously Suzy Homemaker! LOL
-
haahaha!!!!! hahahahahahah!!!!!!!!
-
He's much better at cooking, but horrible at cleaning up. In the parenting category I think we are about equal. We have a very balanced household.
-
Yes, he is... but he would hate me for ever telling anyone that. He puts me to shame. He is a much better cook, does the laundry, and even is in charge of hanging our art work when we move (like determining placement). I'm the worst!
-
Oh totally. He is always cleaning the house while I'm....well, not! He also cooks dinne rmost nights, handles poopy diaper duty more than I do, always cleans the litterbox and gives me a massage almost every night. I am spoiled; don't know that I deserve him!
-
Yep. He does dinner almost every night, we split the cleaning duties but he alwayyyys does the floors (he's much better at them!), and he has infinite patience for our LO. I'm a rotten housewife, but I'm great with our money!!!
-
Oh wow. There is not enough laughter in the world for this thread.
So, um, no.
-
I think we're a good mix. Generally I'm the one cleaning and cooking. He is way better than me at parenting though (he watches LO all day while I'm at work. I went batty during mat leave, whereas he seems to thrive on it).
-
In a lot of ways, yes. But we would eat sandwiches and cereal every night if it weren't for me.
-
He's better at cooking but that's about it
-
About something's like vacuuming, yes.
-
No way. I shudder thinking how the house would look if he was the "wife"
-
lmao! I dunno - I think he's better at keeping the house looking tidy than I am, but he never vacuums or does laundry. I guess we make a good wife together
-
Nope.
-
Yes. With my bad memory and long hrs at work, yes, he is a better husband than I am a wife.
He already said he would love to be a SAHD. So even before kids, he will be the better husband. Haha... yeah... He knew it when we got married, though. Not a big surprise. I'm like the Baby Mommy... instead of baby daddy. Ha! Although, little things around the house (like anything around the kitchen), I got him beat (well, when I find time to be in the kitchen!)
-
@.twist.: Same!!
Until recently he was staying home part-time with our LO during the week and he made a better SAHP than I did. He took her to the park, the grocery store, the library, etc. He was a total Mr. Mom. And he does a ton of chores around the house, too.
-
Yup. DH does the dishes, does daycare drop off and pick up, and puts LO to bed. I do the cooking and most of the grocery shopping though.
-
@yoursilverlining: Our husbands sound very similar. Maybe it's an older man/professor thing?
-
nope
-
Oh gosh no. There would be no cooking and very little cleaning.
-
@mediagirl: lol!! There are things I'm more on top of than DH because I'm a researcher, but in general I'm def closer to haphazard husband!
-
My DH cleans much more frequently than I do. I do all the cooking and handle most of LO's care. I'd say we are pretty even.
-
@.twist.: Meeeeeeeeee too.
I am definitely more patient with people, but he cooks and cleans way better than I do.
-
My husband does almost all of the cooking (except for weekend breakfast) and all of the vacuuming. He probably does a bit more laundry than me, but lately I have been doing more of it. That's because I have been working from home a lot since my due date is so close, plus I have wanted to clean the baby clothes!
I crunch the numbers and handle the budget. I also manage our calendar and logistics and do a majority of our planning (e.g., booking vacations).
I think he puts more time into the house than I do, but we both work full time jobs and if it were up to me we would outsource more household responsibilities (e.g., hire a cleaning lady). Since he doesn't want to do that, he picks up the slack. It works for us.
-
@.twist.: hehehe.
HA
