Do your parents have traditional roles in their marriage?

My parents have been married almost 50 years and they definitely did the traditional roles for most of that time. Mom pampered Dad because she wanted to, not because he expected it. But then, he looked for ways to make her life easier, too. He always took her vehicle to get gas or for any repairs. He would make sure that during the winter there was no snow or ice on her car windows. When they finally built a house with a garage, he insisted she park her car in it. Just little things like that.

My brothers were never made to do household chores. They took care of the grass mowing, car washing, and all the outdoor things. But both of them married women who expected them to pitch in, so they've gotten over that! My older brother is actually a very good cook.

My parents both contribute equalle. But in different ways. My dad is a carpenter, and does all the handywork and outside stuff. But my mom does the gardening because her father is a gardener so she was taught how to tend a garden at a young age.
Householdchores are divided into what my mom does, and what my dad does. My dad does the 'heavier' stuff like vacuum and wash the floors, empty drains and clean windows. My mom does the cooking, laundry and dusting.
They both pay bills, my dad pays for the insurance and larger household costs, my mom pays for her car and all of the groceries.

My parents seem to have come up with a system that works for them. They are both hard workers, so neither of them sit still for very long without doing some kind of householdchore.

I would say that my mom does more of the traditional women's jobs (cooking, laundry and dusting) and my dad most of the typical men's jobs (handywork, treetrimming, carfixing). But neither of them would be lost without the other one. My dad has repaired enough washingmachines and dishwashers in his day to know how to work one

Watching them do the weekly houseclean is like watching a well-rehearsed dance actually, because they both know exactly which chores are theirs and they know how to do them well.

Yes, my Mom was a SAHM and my Dad worked. So Mom did all of the cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, laundry, etc.) My Dad did the outside yard work. But my Dad was on his own when he was little and then was in the Army. He actually taught my Mom to cook when they got married. So he COULD do all of those things, but didn't.

When my Mom died, it never crossed my mind to be worried about him doing his laundry and getting food on the table. He is very self-sufficient. Of course, sometimes he'd rather just eat a can of pork and beans than to cook something, but he definitely knows how.

Both of my parents worked outside of the home until I was about 2.5, and then my mother was home with me.  My father could do housework (and, in fact, my parents were night office cleaners for a few years).  He was working two jobs a lot of the time I was growing up, so he didn't -- after he retired, he did.

FWIW, this arrangement didn't really "work" for my parents.  My father was really unhappy with working two jobs while my mother wasn't working (and had to give up going to community college at night to do so).

No not even close. My dad is amazing cook and can clean a bathroom better than me. My mom is awesome at home improvement and tinkering. Lol.
