Yeah, I kinda follow ratbastid on this. If it's not a woman thing, I'm OK with it. I would say that any marriage or couple situation where one party works full-time and supports both partners, and the other party does not work, it's not unreasonable to suggest that it would be fair for the party who is not working to shoulder the majority of the upkeep of the house and the preparation of dinners during the week. I would also expect that this not be rigidly enforced by either party, but maintained with fairness and flexibility.
