My DH is a big guy is a lineman (elictricity) not football
But when he was 10 his mother taught him to knit and sew.He was the baby of six siblings.
Now in this day and age this is not a manly thing to do , but in the days of vikings when it was too cold to pillage and you were stuck in the keep for months. Knitting was a thing that men did. After all chain mail is a knit.
He helps around the house all the time , but I always feel guilty when he does. And I shoo him out of my kitchen!

I have two important men in my life, my father and my husband.

My father can cook, iron, clean house and sew like any other housewife would do...thanks to his family, particuarly his mom, taught him all that and he was responsible for caring for his younger siblings in diapers including the next door neighbors infants. If you do not go over there to change diapers, he would know he will be IN for it. When he married my mom, she did not know how to cook and gave her a Betty Crocker's cookbook and Mom learned to cook, even bad suppers but it was time and patience my Dad taught her that she is the BEST cook there is and she, in turn, taught us how to cook.

My husband does not cook because I won't let him except to make some grilled cheese sandwiches. He is hunter and gatherere for fast food when I am sick or don't feel like cooking supper that evening. He would be there for my dd when she falls down, gives her a wiped down of spilt tears, tends to her boo boos and be on her merry way. Great babysitter. Likes to play music. Starts up fires for cooking at campsites. Clean up our sicknesses without complaints even dd threw up on him. He would even go out to a store and get a box of personal (ahem) napkins or tampons......come on, its no big deal seeing a man standing at the counter with a box of Kotex and not feeling embarassed about it. While inventory stores, he certainly will do bras, underwears and all the unmentionables at Victoria's Secret....no big deal to him nor does he get turned on or make fun of women sizes and shapes.

And he wears kilts.......

He does not like sports nor watch any sports with the male members of my family.

My wife gets her presents in a Wal-mart bag. At least I tie it closed & arrange the handles in the shape of a bow!

In my family, it is the men who were traditionally the cooks. God forbid grandma did the cooking

Mu dad is a great cook. My mom was ok, she just didn't know good basic technique. But I have a male cousin who is a gourmet chef. Grandpa made a mean turkey. I think I am the only female in my family that can cook. My sister can burn water, but I think at 37 she finally mastered the ramen noodle

As for my hubby, he is scary in the kitchen but has mastered the manly art of grilling so that is fine by me.

One manly area where hubby fails is when it comes to animals. I figured since we both came from small towns with a hunting culture, he would be fine with the whole killing and gutting critters. Nope!!! If I ever want a duck dinner, I am going to have to do it myself.
