Literally my mom and her bfs dynamic except us kids have to pull his load too. The best example is how on his day off he doesn’t leave he couch, staying on his video game or watching anime. Meanwhile when my mom has a day off she cleans even if the house is relatively clean, cooks dinner and so much more. He makes more but they still do “50/50” hes also more ppl. He has 6 kids and my mom and I are two ppl. Don’t date a man, esp a man child.
Imagine being in one of those 50/50 marriages and you want to make a really nice dinner. You make it every night as well because your husband explains to you that you should only do what you're good at and he simply "isn't good at cooking", in return though, he will take out the trash when you remind him. Because this is a 50/50 household after all and he WANTS to pull his weight.
So you plan the dinner on your free time, then you take the shared household bank card that you both fill up with the same amount of money each month - 5% of his salary and 50% of yours because it's equal and how is it his fault that you chose a low paying job? This is 50/50!
You buy all the groceries, come home and clean up after your husband who doesn't work longer hours than you but he has explained that his job is more mentally exhausting so he will be more tired than you when he comes home. You wouldn't understand that with your physically and emotionally taxing job, you don't need that much rest. Besides, It doesn't even bother him that it's messy!
Then you prepare all the food for an hour or so, while it's in the oven you take the trash out because you've asked your husband to do it three times already and it's still there because he is simply too exhausted right now. You also load the laundry with both of your clothes, and fold the clean one because if your husband did it it would just be destroyed or never folded. You set the table, bring out the food, pour the drinks and when it's done you do the dishes because your husband simply "isn't good at doing dishes".
This is equality for men btw.
After dinner your husband sais he did a good job cooking the meal.
This is what dads who claim to have made their children sound like.
