[Tink]

All 3 of my kids learned to do and became responsible for their own laundry at age 12. 2 of the 3 have cooked in restaurants based on what they learned at home. They all were responsible for their own messes and helping with household chores regardless of gender.

My hubby was 34 and had never been married when we met. He can cook, clean, and anything else he needs to do to take care of himself. I think we ALL need to know how to do that because sooner or later many of us DO end up living alone.

As for waiting on a man, that's just not my "thing". I wouldn't encourage my daughters to do it, since I don't see any need for it on a regular basis. If we want to do it and it's reciprocated, then fine... if it's "just another chore" then forget it!
