Who's the man?

I am the man.

Today I did something my husband has never, and does not know how to do.

I waxed my car.

I know how to do this thanks to my parents. I learned due to the many times I got into trouble...but I was usually waxing a motorhome, and not a car. (Note to self: Make kids do the unpleasant chores as punishment...that way I don't have to do them.) Thank goodness I was such a troublemaker or I would not know how to do many of the things I know how to do.

Doing this today made me curious, how do things work in your family? Does the wife do just the wifely duties, and the man do the manly stuff?

I actually enjoy doing some "manly" chores, it makes me feel empowered and satisfied with myself. Maybe it's a little odd, but it works for us. Adam also doesn't mind doing the "womanly" chores from time to time. He's awesome like that.

How does it work for you?
