Three friends married women from different parts of the country. The first man married a woman from the North. He told her that she was to do the dishes and ho...use cleaning. It took a couple of days, but on the third day, he came home to see a clean house and dishes washed and put away. The second man married a woman from the West. He gave his wife orders that she was to do all the cleaning, dishes and the cooking. The first day he didn't see any results, but the next day he saw it was better. By the third day, he saw his house was clean, the dishes were done, and there was a huge dinner on the table. The third man married a girl from the Louisiana. He ordered her to keep the house cleaned, dishes washed, lawn mowed, laundry washed, and hot meals on the table for every meal. He said the first day he didn't see anything, the second day he didn't see anything but by the third day, some of the swelling had gone down and he could see a little out of his left eye, and his arm was healed enough that he could fix himself a sandwich and load the dishwasher. He still has some difficulty when he pees. | |

| I do a whole lot of the household-ey type chores, plus do most of the book keeping and bill paying, organizational duties, you name it. Most of it I do because: I am not too good to do it, and I don't like making my husband feel like I don't think he can do a good job, but I like things a certain way. It's just easier on both of us to do them. I do get 'stuck' with a whole lot of the household chores. It takes a GREAT deal of harping to get him to lift a finger.
However, the last time I was screaming in my head putting his laundry away, I looked out my window and he was unloading and stacking the 35 bales of hay I brought home, then he fed the horses, unhooked my horse trailer, and took my truck to town and washed it. Well played husband, well played. Laundry done without argument.
For the stuff I can't bring myself to do, and do my horse stuff, and maintain a happy boss at work, and run around just being happy bubbly lil me, I have the most wonderful cleaning lady. She' comes once a week. Love her and will probably never be without a cleaning lady again as long as I can find one! I find that with her help, I am a badass wife/co-breadwinner/barrel horse enthusiast with a wonderful attitude towards my honey!! | |

Today's wife has much to do, in which includes many roles in her life: wife, mother, teacher, employee, co-worker, and friend. She's much to busy to sit at home preparing dinner for her man everyday, and making sure the children are quiet when he walks in the door after a hard day at work. She also has had a hard day at work, be it in the work place, working from home or the hardest job of them all - raising children. Pick up the children from daycare. Sometimes she has to work late too and could use the extra few minutes for a breather. This lets her know you are thinking of her and care about her needs. Have dinner prepared. Let her know you are concerned for the way she feels after work, have her favorite dish ready. Prepare yourself. Take a few minutes to de-funk yourself after your hard day at work. Remember, those times of closeness, she doesn't want to smell the rottenness of the day. Clean the children. Get their baths done early so family time isn't bothered with a bunch of 'must-do’ before bedtime. If you want to go out for the night, check with your wife, she might have plans. After all, someone does need to watch the children. There also might be a dinner function the two of you need to attend. Going with her to a career dinner lets her know you care about her work as well as your own. Over the cold months, you should start a fire so she has a nice warm place to come to at the end of her day. Your wife will feel as if she's reached a haven of peace. Over the hot months, make sure the air conditioner is in excellent condition. Nothing adds to a stressful day more than heat. Be happy to see her, not just have a pencil in your pocket, and be really happy to see her. Let her know she is the only one for you. Greet her with warmth and respect. Listen to her. Her problems are just as important as yours are, if not more so. Let her speak first; adhere to the rule, ladies first. Make the evening hers. Run her a bubble bath, so her relaxation can continue on, pour her a glass of wine or her favorite beverage. Spark a few candles around the tub; it's a big gesture that will take you a long way. Don't complain. She works just as hard as you do, if not more so. Children are hard work to raise and dealing with them all day is stressful. Speak soothingly to her at all times. The worst is having a man's rough, harsh voice raised about something that is of no importance. Don't ask questions you don't want answers to. Don't judge her. Be respectful. This goes both ways and is a huge rule in life to get carry through on. Be trustful. A wife needs a husband she can believe and doesn't need to worry about his running around doing "single" things. Always remember, 'what is good for the goose is good for the gander'. Pick up after yourself. You married her for a reason and it wasn't to have her become your slave. Think of her. Give her a back message releasing the week’s worth of stress from her body. Be nice; let her relax-without having to get a piece of action out of the deal.

Location: Bastrop, Texas | Introduction and summary: Submissive homemaker - Manager of the home, under the oversight of her husband. (The wife is the manager of the home, but the husband is the manager of the wife.)
- Primary role revolves around the daily care of children, meal preparation and keeping the house clean and in order.
- She is free to take on additional roles and responsibilities by getting a job. Such a job is optional, whereas for the husband, it is mandatory. Her optional choice to take on a job does not suddenly obligate the husband to take on part of the wife's role of child care or keeping house.
