Dan is the same way. He doesn't care what I do all day (I don't have kids but I also don't "work"). He does, however, come home to a clean house and a cooked dinner....then I go party since I don't have kids.

I think that's just the way I am. I come from trailer park and am the oldest of 10 so I had to take care of a lot my whole life. Once I grew up and got on my own I had to work so hard. I used to work from 10 or 11am til 4am, 5 or 6 days a week (waiting tables and that ain't no walk in the park). I did that for like 12 years. I used to pray for an easier life and promised that if it did ever get easier I would keep my house clean...LOL. So that's what I do.

I think that a housewife is expected to do whatever the married couple agree on It's a partnership and negotiations are sometimes in order. No one is a mind reader.
