I just can't understand how it is acceptable that we, as women, are in this role.

Yeah... this is where I fall on this spectrum. When hubby and I first moved in together, I didn't cook at all. We mostly ate sammiches, chips & dip, went out to eat, ordered pizza, etc. Now that I am cooking healthy meals on a regular basis - he already knows it is that or nothin' or make it yourself. But since I am actually cooking, he is enjoying nice meals!
If we want grilled meat - he does all the grilling - and he will even do it in the snow! He will cook things he knows how to cook. We are working on planning our meals for the week. This week, we are going to do corned beef, potatoes and onions and I guess I will get carrots or some veggie to go with it. He will prep it all and put it in the crock pot.
And we are getting stricter with our almost-two-year old. Once a week or so, I give him something new and that is it. Eat it or wear it, I tell him. (He usually does both.) He is a little fruit monster and does good with his veggies. We keep trying to encourage it, rather than teach him our bad habits!
