  • I should imagine so. But who wants to do unpaid work?
  • Well, my partner gets home earlier than I do, but I cook tea when I get home. Does that count?
  • Not in our house. I (the man) am expected to make dinner for my wife. It works for us. Then again, she does the bills and business type stuff.
  • Actually, I do. I work at home and he usually gets home about 7- and I have dinner ready . But of course, he does the dishes!
  • I will when I get married. My boyfriend is a pilot, so I won't have to have it on the table every night, but I will definately make the effort to provide him with good meals when he IS home. =)
  • When I was with my ex yes alway's
  • If I were married I would. When my b/f stays here or comes straight from work I have something cooked for him, unless it's our designated "night out". Usually he's already eaten before he gets here so I always make desert! I'm famous around here for my sugar cookies.
  • If any women would like to do this please reply below, I will strive to make you happy in every way, Back and footrubs available nightly........ I don't think this happens anymore, June Cleaver is long since gone.
  • Certainly, out there in the wider world. But squeezed into a steadily narrowing zone between those influenced by western ideas (on the one hand), and those too deprived to actually have dinner and a table to work with (on the other).
  • Even we have a maids in our house, I personally prepare my husband's dinner especially if he's going to be late in our dinner time (7:00pm). I will never get tired of doing it. My husband on the other hand, if im not yet home and meal is ready, he will wait for me so we could eat together.
  • Sure, I do that. And he does it for me often. Our meals together are very special even after 34 years. I try to make wonderful meals for him and usually plan several days ahead so I know if I have stuff on hand. He does the same if he wants to cook. And very often we make the meals together. It's a great time to be together. But most of the time. I break off from work and get dinner ready. We work at home right now, so it's easier to do but it wasn't always that easy.
  • Sure I do! Mr. Stouffers and Mrs. Lean Cuisine comes over and helps me though.
  • I make dinner most nights. Sometimes my son and I eat before my husband gets home because he frequently works late and we're hungry. I also work full-time so there are days he gets home earlier than I do, so obviously dinner isn't on the table when he gets there. Most of the time he would wait for me to make it though. We eat together when we can, and the cooking is one of the things that generally falls under "my responsibilty". I happen to like to cook, so most of the time it isn't an issue. My husband does most of the laundry. In a marriage, household chores have to be divided and differnet couples divide them differently.
  • Sure. Unless she's had a bad day, then it's more likely to end up on the wall just behind me if I'm foolish enough to say the wrong thing, and quick enough to duck in time.
  • About half the time. He comes home at all different hours. So when he is late, we figure it out after he gets home. If my kids are hungry, I feed them first. They both eat differently and at different times. My husband and I eat together a bit more.
  • I do, almost every night. He keeps me informed if his appointment schedule changes, so I can plan for the most convenient time.
  • I do most of the time...I try to anyway. He gets low blood sugar, so if it isn't ready, atleast shortly after he gets home, he gets cranky. When he isn't happy, ain't nobody happy..LOL
  • I usually prepare Hubby's meal to be ready when he gets home. He prefers to eat at his desk, so I don't put it on the table.
  • I am the house hubby and my lady always walks into a sparkling clean home and a fantastically cooked meal ...every night including desert .. and the washing is done and folded and the lawns are mowed and the beds made and the dusting done and the house vacuumed and mopped and all done by 9am for I am man ...hear me roar!!...gggrrrr
  • If I am home then I certainly try. If it's not right when he gets home it's usually very soon after. We don't get to have a lot of meals together because of our schedules...so I cook whenever I can :)
  • When I don't have to work and he gets a real job he can have dinner every night!
  • yes lots of people do but some don't
  • If I marry my boyfriend, I probably would cook him dinner before he got home from work if I had enough time. He deserves it.
  • Housekeeping Monthly 13 May 1955 The good wife's guide Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready, on time for his return. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they come home and the prospect of a good meal (especially his favorite dish) is part of the warm welcome needed. Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you'll be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh-looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people. Be a little gay and a little more interesting for him. His boring day may need a lift and one of your duties is to provide it. Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives. Gather up schoolbooks, toys, paper etc and then run a dust cloth over the tables. Prepare your children. Take a few minutes to wash the children's hands and faces (if they are small), comb their hair and, if necessary, change their clothes. They are little treasures and he would like to see them playing the part. Minimize all noise. At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer or vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be quiet. Greet him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him. Listen to him. You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first remember his topics of conversation are more important than yours. Make the evening his. Never complain if he comes home late or goes out to dinner, or other places of entertainment without you. Instead, try to understand the world of strain and pressure and his very real need to be at home and relax. Your goal: try to make sure your home is a place of peace, order and tranquility, where your husband can renew himself in body and spirit. Don't greet him with complaints and problems. Don't complain if he's late home for dinner or even if he stays out all night. Count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through that day. Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or have him lie down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him. Arrange his pillow and have him take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing or pleasant voice. Don't ask him questions about his actions or question his judgment or integrity. Remember, he is the master of the house and as such will always exercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to question him. A good wife always knows her place. this article was in a Good Housekeeping Magazine in 1955 and since it bears on this subject, i thought i would post it. at my house this is how it is run all the time. although i have a "free day" on sundays, where he takes over and does things for me. course this girl lives as a slave to *smiles*, so theres no other way realy, though wouldnt change a thing.
