I kinda think resentment towards housecare roles is missing the point. Relationships thrive when we care about each other. Whether husbands and wives take on traditional roles or not isn’t what matters. Serving family needs as a team is. Women can mow the lawn. Men can do dishes and bathe the kiddos, we all know that. But what matters is our heart. I cook and clean daily in and day out for my family because I love them and I’m not mad or resentful about it. My husband sees what needs to be done and does it too. He notices when my car needs its inspection and I totally forget about it or he cleans out the dog poop bin that got maggots in. Which things we do are irrelevant. What matters for a relationship is teamwork and love. And if you model that, children pick it up… my daughter notices the cat litter needs to be changed and does it for the cat. She doesn’t get mad that the litter need to be changed or at anyone else for not doing it. When we all get selfish, resentful and mad we lose something important in the point of successful relationships. Getting appreciation for everything is not necessary in a successful relationship because the contentment of teamwork is there. Just my 2 cents.

My husband and I both work full time jobs, I am the wife, house manager, chef, maid, nurse, etc. Entering into a traditional marriage (man and women) I was expected to take on the above roles even in today’s modern society and I am happy to do it, most of the time. 😂 Cooking for my family is how I show them I love them, but I will add, for my own mental health and the health and safety of all others involved my husband does the dishes.

I think these are terms of relationships honestly. We have been married for 26 years and both have always worked full time. We have one now grown kiddo who still loves at home. We both cook, both clean up the kitchen after (whoever cooks doesn’t clean normally). There are so many helpful things my husband does around the house and I pick up slack in other areas. When we need to adjust, then we need to discuss it and adjust. It’s not always perfect and I joke that no one ever wipes down the counters but me, but there are plenty of other things I NEVER touch and he handles. I’m grateful for him for sure. But it’s just how we have chosen to work our relationships. I keep saying when it’s just the two of us we will do more meal kits just so we don’t have to think each week, what’s for dinner. 😂. We like having leftovers for lunches for work.

People are being way too harsh on Mike at Pro Home Cooks. Being a chef/cooking is his literal job. The people praising him are wrong because they're acting like he has a whole separate full time job AND cooking for his family every day. The people dunking on him for getting any praise at all are wrong because he's literally taking care of his family and cooking them amazing awesome food, much of which is now with food he gardens himself. I hope you're not dunking on him, too, by showing him alongside the "congressional dad's" thing, and commentary about how dads get all the credit (which you said you agree with). Honestly put me off the whole video. This is not true of real life and it's insulting to women to frame it like this, as if we are so fragile that we need to be applauded for all the normal stuff that needs to be done.

Ok, my best thought about women’s liberation? It gave us the freedom to hold TWO full time jobs! If you add up housekeeping, meals, child rearing and help mate time, all together it actually exceeds full time employment … and you do KZbin, TOO! I am always amazed by your talent and drive. My opinion is, generally speaking, that men simply don’t care about their environment or their meals in the same way women do, and as a result have no interest in homemaking. I made my life easier by keeping my meal plans season to season and reusing them. I also keep the recipes for each plan with them and the ingredients list too. I’ve added enough plans that we can go 3 weeks without repeats and that means we don’t get tired of the food, but I’m not reinventing the wheel either! And I am HAPPY to pay for Walmart Plus since that saves me 2-3 hours a week, and the aggravation of store and traffic! TFS!

I spend a lot of time in the kitchen, often by MY choice, I’m married to a chef so he cooks more than I do, but there are things that balance us out. I don’t do yard work at all, but I garden, I do more cleaning but he always cleans the kitchen, I don’t take the trash out but I handle groceries, etc….it balances out for us. Every task doesn’t have to be 50/50, but when it’s all done it’s pretty equal here.

Great video, I did all the cooking for years but my husband is a big help now. He likes the instant pot and the air fryer. He bbq’s to. If we feel like pizza or Chinese we order it. Mexican food is not something we grew up on. So we have tacos and taco salad. They would be boring for you😂 He can be picky. I cook beef dip and seal vac. Teriyaki chicken, cook it and then seal vac. Etc. I make spaghetti sauce that is thick with ground beef. After watching videos where everyone buys Rayos marinara sauce from Costco. I tried it, bland. Had to doctor it. When I make lasagna, the sauce is thicker with meat and I cut mozzarella cheese in about 1/3rd of an inch. For the inside and top. I scramble fry ground beef and keep it in the freezer. I use it for quick meals. Like shepherds pie. But I have learned many things from you. I have bought different things you use. And I love your videos. Your personality, wit, your like a friend to me.

I do the cooking in our house, and while I love good food, I don't really enjoy making it so I want to do it as fast as possible. To that end, I have three hard non-negotiables while I'm cooking: 1) No one is allowed in the kitchen while I'm cooking. You can blame my dad for that. He a was always in the way. if he wasn't in front of sink when you have a pot of boiling water, he was in front of the stove, oven or refrigerator. Love you, dad, but get the hell out of the way! 2) Clean as I go. I will not spend an hour or two cooking then eating only to be faced with another hour of clean up. No, ma'am! Paper plates are also my friends. I know, the envrionment but I'm not immortal with a multitude of lifetimes. Do I really want to spend this one and only cleaning? Nope. And, 3) My kitchen is closed two nights a week: Wednesdays we eat out of the freezer. This helps me make sure I don't have a lot of frozen leftovers junking up the freezer. The second night the kitchen is closed is Sundays. I cook a double meal (same food, I'm not crazy) so that we have full leftovers on Sundays. Eat it, don't eat, the kitchen is closed.

My daughter and husband will not eat fruit unless it’s washed and ready. It drives me crazy.

I love cooking, so it works well in our home for me to do all of it, although my hubby does usually take care of lunch on the weekends and often asks how he can help while I'm cooking. He's very supportive! I live in rural Idaho where it seems like everything is about 20 years or so behind. People are always shocked to hear how involved my husband is in childcare. He's taken on baths and bed time, since he works full time and that's when he's home. People here think he's the dad of the year 😂 I mean I think so too, but not just because he does baths and bed.

I love and appreciate that you respect your kids choice of not being filmed. We have all seen people who over share their children on social media. Kudos to you. You’re a fantastic Mom. :) Society DEFINITELY sees it differently for women! Men get credit for “babysitting “ their own children? WTAF? lol Double standards DO exist.

Drop the mic Jen! In you logging the hours you cook and clean, etc, it occurred to me that it doesn't occur to me when I don't feel like cooking some days that I just need a break. In my head, that thought makes me feel guilty. Even though I have a very appreciate husband who is grateful for all that I do, it can be challenging to admit I need a break from something that has to be done...but realizing it doesn't always have to be me. Cheers to Subway! Love you and appreciate all that you do to create relevant and relatable content. BTW, just replaced my CRAP Samsung refrigerator. $4000 later, had to replace the fridge and the portion of the laminate flooring that was ruined by the fridge leaking and the repeated ice buildup. ANYWAY, hope you get your new fridge soon! I know how happy you'll be❤

Absolutely there's a difference! Just in case you didn't know, it's still a man's world. I'm hoping it changes with each new generation.

PREACH JEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great video, it is absolutely a part-time job...but if you include planning time, making the list, shopping, putting away groceries it's a full-time job!

I cook. He cleans the kitchen. I will clean the kitchen if he has been busy with yardwork. I don't do yardwork. He doesn't cook.

That is why I tracked my time. Yardwork takes maybe 2 hours a week. Objectively, it's not an even trade

Yeah definitely BS on the praise of men who do the majority of cooking and cleaning. I think it's great they are pulling their weight but Mom's do so much too.

For women, cooking and cleaning are expected. That’s why no one cares until you totally stop doing these things and they see first hand what you’ve been doing for them. Men getting accolades for cooking, cleaning, and parenting chaps my ass. They get hero status while women get looked down on. This is a touchy subject for me. And it’s why I’m no longer married.

I'm not a person that enjoys cooking. I love your videos as I get great ideas! My husband and I cook, but I wish there was more structure. Even when hes cooking he wants me to tell him what to cook. 🫠🫠
