Here is a think you usually hear: "mother knows best". Most of the times the cook in the house is the mother. Why is this? Well maybe because mother giver more attention to family so they know the favorite foods of their family. This is starting to change a bit, since some mothers are already have a job. This means that fathers will have to start learning how to cook and at least the basic tasks.

But despite that fact, moms are still considered as the chefs at home, one reason why overweight and obesity problems comes in. This is because moms don't have any more time to cook at home but instead just buy ready to eat foods. The rate of obesity then depends of the time one spends cooking at home.

About 40% of the men cook at home. But after 2 months, only 13% of all meals are prepared by the men.

This percentage is decreasing because most of the men don´t like to cook and they think that preparing meals is not their function in the family. They are wrong.

Several cooking shows, websites and food magazines were created for men to convince them to cook.

All this effort did not deliver great results. In many homes the women is still the only one who cooks while the men is watching TV... Women could and should try to involve men when cooking. They should try to persuade them into cooking and some day. the women might be the one watching TV while the men is cooking.

Perhaps the only way to convince a father to cook is to bring the whole family into the kitchen. If everyone cooperate and help each other when preparing the meals, the father will see this as a bonding experience and might do it more times and even might start liking cooking.

Maybe one day men will see that women can´t do everything forever. They NEED help, and you should be there for her.
