Sat here chuckling my way through those replies…. omg crying with laughter ya numpties lol love it!
ok traditionalism.
My late husband was around 12 years older than me, so he was “old school” born in 1945. the age where women were allowed to stay home and rear their offspring or “issues” as they were called in a posh way (lol)
not so nowadays, women have no choice but to work unless theyre either disabled or a kept woman which is greatly frowned upon since the age of feminism.
so, my husband wouldn’t know the difference between a cooker and a washing machine would probably end up with socks on toast if I hadn’t happened along into his life, had no clue how the vacuum cleaner worked and only knew that dust existed but no idea how to remove it, in his own words “that’s women’s work”.
we would get up in the mornings me first, id go make him breakfast then after while he showered and dressed id be vacuuming and washing ironing and dusting. while he sat in the conservatory letting his breakfast go down with his newspapers. to him that was completely normal (or he was pulling a fast one)?
I personally think I’d prefer a man to take part in my life instead of me being their carer nowadays, cooking together can be fun!
and Scep you have to remember I was a psychologist, your eyes would bleed if you’d heard half of what I have from patients.
and there is absolutely nothing disgusting about oral sex!
Laine, I am thinking of asking martin to declare you a moral hazard, to justChat and to that young snapper, Reason (sic). Remember he is at such an impressionable age, and needs to be kept to the Christian ideal of sex as being very very beautiful and the less of it, the better.
Reason (sic) don’t listen to that woman. keep off the phones and take heed of what this wise man said to his son, warning him of Dirty Uncle Bertie.
Also I do most of the cooking and washing up in this house, and it is NOT fun. I hate it. But it’s better than being dependent on someone, so yes, I agree – sharing,, not caring. Women are very keen on this now, but has this changed men???
Most people like a bit of fine dining.
Testicle, is this your vision of the male of the future?
Pmsl ……. raises an eyebrow
Raises both !

You can often tell if a person has been up to something by their eyebrows you know.
Cissy and Ada are a cry back to yesterday, not the role for tomorrow, Reason (sic).
Les Dawson was a very good comic, and was mimicking the mill ladies of the Lancashir cotton towns (my gran was one when she was very young). They’ve all gone or going.
How do you think men should be, then???

Testicle, who am I to say how anyone should be.
Each to their own I say.
Scep…the men you are describing are the old fashioned man….much like Laine described her ex to be. If a woman puts up with that kind…so be it…it’s their relationship..their life..their comfort…maybe that kind of wife knows her man will never change…they are both too long in the tooth to divorce or separate…maybe…I don’t know
I think generally now…new relationships the man definitely pulls his weight around the house…with childcare….and indeed within the relationship…..neither party should be taken for granted however that’s very ideal and long term unlikely to be sustained on a daily level
The man of today has had to change because family dynamics and economics have changed from 1924 when you were born
interesting you say you cook clean etc….can I ask why as an older generation male why is that so?

Especially if they get Cissy or Ada on the phone while the other half is at work.
