My dad made it a point to teach me that being able to cook is a skill that's real important to have. He's a very good cook, and can make a variety of dishes and probably sterotypically for North American, he specializes on the BBQ. We use the Grill a lot in our home in the summer-fall months until it gets to cold to use it.
When I was a boy my Mom didn't work, and so she took up the housewife role and by all means loved it. Once all the kids (myself the youngest) were pretty much on our own two feet not needing them for every little thing (high school for example) she went back to work. She's an RN and works 12 hr shifts so a lot of times Dad was home from work before her, he would cook. They split it 50/50 for most of my young adulthood. THey were also into ethnic foods and so we had a wide variety of what we could do.
I'm glad that they taught me how to cook and not just cook KD (heh, i read the box and figured that out myself) it comes in handy when you are by yourself and need to save money because no matter how cheap the value menu at Mc D's has become.... a bag of rice is 1 dollar as well, and that'll last you for a month heh
