People always ask me if I cook dinner for my boyfriend. And they always seem shocked when I say that he does it more often than I do. In order to explain why I am slacking in the my womanly duties, I usually tell them that he gets home before I do, and that it's just easier on both of us not to wait. But... why should I have to explain myself? It's becoming more and more normal for men to hold their share in household dutes. And fine, I may not cook dinner most of the time, but I do the majority of the dishes, and I clean the apartment. Zach does the laundry most of the time, but again, he usually does it because he needs to clean his work uniforms more often than I need to wash my clothes, so we just throw my stuff in with his.

We share chores. Why do people find that so odd?
