I don't play gender roles either. The moment my wife wants to go out there and fix the cars or shovel snow, I'll pick up those rubber gloves and do the dishes.

If I waited around for someone else to do stuff for me, things would never get done. I think the only reason I really keep a man around the house is because batteries get expensive. I think you know what I'm talkin' about.

You know they do rechargables these days


I'm with you, I love to work with varnish and wood; hubby helps with dishes, washing...and we pretty much share the workload 50/50 as much as we can, what one can't do, the other steps up to the mark to accomplish; or both of us have a go, if neither is capable of the task.

I get to smooth the walls with polyfilla though, 'cos hubby's a crap cake icer

Knives, tools, running shoes and beer are generally things I don't skimp on.
