Hi all, so I was talking to a friend of mine and we are not really close but I was taken back a bit with something she said to me.
We were chatting about random things and I happened to have had a bad week and said, do you know what I'm getting really annoyed with how much I do around the house. I keep asking the men to do stuff. My house is myself, my husband and my two older sons, both young adults. Anyway I was just venting when I said I wish they would do stuff. This was the reply.
Are you seriously wanting the men to do things, don't you know your place, that's what women are for.
I said no my sons need to know how to do things so they can be independent. My husband does things as that's how he was raised. I just wish they would do more. They are never going to get a partner if this is expected.
She then went into say that's why you make sure they get the right one and she knows her place.
I said you seem really old fashioned and she was annoyed with me.
She also went to comment on this is why you have women playing football, men should be playing not women.
So am I being unreasonable to ask or should I be in my place.
