While riding in the car with my fiance, he asks the infamous question" Why is it women want men to pay the bills and be the provider for everything but they don't want to cook,and clean all the time?He is best refering to back in the time era where men went to work, paid the bills, and paid just about everything else.Women would stay at home and cook, clean and take care of the kids. The way the new generation is now is very different. Most women expect the man to pay the bills, pay their individual bills, give them money. Some women that work feel like when they get off work they are also tired and don't feel like cooking and cleaning. This is why we have maid service and fastfood places for. Majority of men complain about paying the bills but still pay them , want to be lazy , and want a mother figure to be at home to cook, clean , and take care of the kids.The perfect world of living a stress free and happy life with your spouse or lover would be :The man pays the bills, the women steps in here and there to help him out with the bills and if he gets behind on a bill, she pays the whole bill instead of telling him "So what are you gonna do then?The bill has to get paid somehow and its not coming out of my pocket."The women could cook on certain days and the days that she doesn't cook her man can cook. Cleaning the house could become a shared responsibility. Taking care of the kids should always be a shared responsibility no matter what. To sum it all up everyone should be playing fair instead of twisting the rules towards their satisfaction.

I believe responsibilities should be shared 50/50 men are just as capable as cleaning and cooking just like a women. ( just like you said) Women are just as capable as paying bills as a man. When my boyfriend and I move out we agreed on me working part-time and going to college and since he sometimes works 10-15 hours a day that I would do the house work during the week and we would both pay bills on the weekend and he would clean house on weekends. When I get done with college and he goes back to college he will be working part-time, going to school and cleaning house while I am working full-time. He will pay less of the bills when he is in college and I will pay less of the bills when I am in college because of the part-time working. I think this is a good stragedy and like you said taking care of the children is both parents responibility.

How sad that after so much evolution, we have not even managed to figure out a simple thing like fairly and equally allotting tasks.
One thing that I've noticed is that although men earn the majority of the money that goes towards bills, women tend to be the ones to sit down and write the checks, or allot money for budgets. That's how it was for my grandparents, and that's how it tends to work in my parents' house.
