Yes and cooking too because if you teach them early on, then they can take care of themselves when they grow up and don't have a wife yet, or go to college and so forth. I also showed my 14 yr old when he was 12 how to do his own laundry and take care of clothes that he didn't want to ruin by hang drying or using certain spot removers etc....I think he likes the sense of freedom for himself, it builds character for them I think.

In today's society, both sexes should be able to cook and clean. This isn't the 1950s where men weren't expected to do housework because they were the ones working while their wives stayed at home.

Is there any good reason why they shouldn't??!!I thought we'd gone past the ages of 'a woman place is in the kitchen...' etc etc, and I think anyone who still thinks like that and believes a man shouldn't do those things is egotistical and copmpletely ridiculous!!Yes men should do the dishes and cook!! My boyfriend cooks more than I do!! I couldn't be with a man that refused to help out in the kitchen!!

yah why not? why should girls have to do everything? i really hate it when some parents favor the boys over the girls, making the girls wait on the boys hand and foot. boys should have just as many responsibilities as girls when it comes to housework and chores.

Of course! Unless they want to starve or eat from dirty plates! If you want to eat, then cook. If you don't want to eat from dirty dishes, then wash them.

Yes, I think the men should be responsible for washing the dishes and cooking meals. To me, there is no reason why they shouldn't have to help out around the house. They made the mess, they can help clean it too! My boyfriend helps me with everything in our home. He washes dishes, does laundry, vaccuums, sweeps, prepares meals! He is just the king and thats the way I think it should be! :)

Why not. Boys are perfectly cabable of cleaning up after themselves. Boys are great cooks also, there should be no gender discrimination when it comes to cooking and cleaning.
