First of all, there definately is something wrong with being a house husband. Cleaning baseboards while your wife is bringing home the bacon? Seriously? Yeah, that’s not gonna cause any problems in a marriage.
On the other hand, people come in all flavors. For this couple this relationship might just work and traditional roles could well be the screwy option. Hey, it takes all kinds.
Finally...for crying out loud. Give the guy some credit. At least he’s married. To a woman. These days, you really can’t take even that much for granted.

Having said all that...sorry, dude. Hands and knees, scrubber, bucket o’ suds. Unless you’re willing to shell out some cash for some fancy gadgetry just to clean baseboards the tried and true remains tried and true. Thankfully baseboards aren’t something you have to do every day.

But, guy. Don’t ever let her come home from work to find you on your knees scrubbing baseboards. I mean, really. Try to arrange it so’s your chopping firewood or hammering a nail or something, yeah? ;)

What's wrong with it? The wife works all week, I work half of it. We share the cooking, cleaning, and all the other stuff that goes with running a house. I'd have to do all of that if I was single and more.

So wouldn't you, after a hard day at work, like to come home to a clean house and a cooked meal, instead of having to do it yourself?
