Catering to a man 🤔😳

When your married I believe everything should be 50/50. You meet each other half way & both of you compromise. But society thinks that there are certain things a man shouldn't do, like wash dishes, wash clothes, cook, etc. This may sound bad but before responding, really think about this & tell me your thoughts. If a woman has to work, dress the children, take the kids to school, clean the house, cook the food, take the kids to all the activities...why exactly would she need a man? Yes, he may provide for the family because he works, but if the woman works as well, it's not as if she isn't also helping the household, right ? 

Personally, I am married, I just started this new stay at home mom thing & so far it isn't bad, but I do think the job of a mother is important, just as important as a job that brings money in the household. My husband isn't responsible for keeping up the clothes, kids or house b/c I'm home now, but when I worked in the field, I did expect him to help me keep up our kid & the chores of the house. I just feel like it boils down to gender roles and quite frankly, gender roles are rediculous & a pathetic excuse for why one person in the relationship shouldn't have to do something. Like if there is a sink full of dishes or the baby needs a bath, why is it automatically accepted that "men don't typically do that, it's more of the mothers job"? 

What are your thoughts?
