I grew up seeing both of my grandmothers serve their husbands quite well. And I figured the ways I saw them serving were just how wives were supposed to do it. In my twenty-five years of knowing both my grandfathers, I never once saw them do a single thing in the kitchen. I realize I didn’t live every day with either one of them, but I feel as though I have a good handle on how the duties were delegated in their home. Wives were to cook, clean and take care of the kids; husbands were to work, make the money and take care of the bills.
