I would never imagine my mom ever telling my dad honey please make me a cup of tea or coffee or can you prepare breakfast or lunch or whatever or can you do the laundry or something like that. I guess the fact that she is a full time housewife also plays a major factor but when it comes to both partners working, I think its only fair that the responsibilties be shared equally between them. My fiance always prepares breakfast for me on weekends and serves it on the table while I sit and read newspaper or watch tv.. But then I make him his favorite English roast beef with yorkshire pudding or meatloaf with roasted potatoes or chicken parmesan or any of his favorite dishes for lunch on weekends. So it goes both ways that is why we are so happy together.. Touchwood..
