The Challenge Of Preparing Family Meal - Men And Women
Mother knows best. This is the usual line that we hear. The cook in the family is mostly the mothers. Because she knows their favorite foods. In the present time, mothers are already working to help the husband in providing family needs. This is why the fathers are now learning to do kitchen chores sometimes.
But still moms are pointed as chefs at home. This is one of the reasons that contributes to overweight. Since moms dont have the time they used to have to cook, most of the time the only solution will be to buy "read to eat" foods. As we all know most, if not all of this kind of foods are not has healthy as homemade food, and usually have loads of fat which increases obesity problems.
About 40 percent of men cook dinner at home but after the next two months, only 13 percent of all meals men prepared at home.
After several studies made, the reason why the percentage is decreasing is because most of them men dont like to cook and they think that it is not their role in their family to cook. This is completely wrong. The modern men/husband/father should know how to cook and do at least the basic tasks at home. Why does have the women/wife/mom to do anything?
To encourage the fathers to cook at home, many movements are created. Cooking shows, food magazines, websites purposely made for men to cook, trying to convince them to cook.
All this effort did not deliver great results. In many homes the women is still the only one who cooks while the men is watching TV... Women could and should try to involve men when cooking. They should try to persuade them into cooking and some day. the women might be the one watching TV while the men is cooking.
If nothing works, then maybe your last chance of persuading the men to cook is to bring everyone of the family into the kitchen. If every member helped each other when doing meals, then the fathers would feel more comfortable and might even consider that as a bonding activity. Everyone wins.
Maybe one day men will see that women cant do everything forever. They NEED help, and you should be there for her.
